I've always equated "riches" with money and "wealth" with property. Its better to be wealthy than just rich. Own and possess things you can use, enjoy, and prosper with. Land, a home, a vehicle, etc.

And this is what they are after. They want you to have things but not OWN them. $ in a bank is not yours if they bank just decides "no" or if the government decides "no" or if the loan owner decides "no".

I like the IDEA of a digital currency...but currency is essentially driven by faith in its use in the economy. I dont even trust the US Dollar at this point beyond what I can turn it into physically. I trust in bullets, beans, and bullion.
