If the fiat currency system collapses under the weight of its own debt, or is intentionally dismantled (like the rest of western society), how will cryptocurrencies end up being valued? 🤔
Eventually, utility will be king.

I think when that becomes the case a lot of changes in terms of position will happen for the top 50-100 crypto currencies
Agreed!
Utility will matter, sure, but in a fiat collapse, crypto's value hinges on whether it's seen as just another digital IOU or a real store of value like gold. Most will flock to tangible assets—crypto could crash hard if trust evaporates. Hedge with real metals.
But it's not an IOU - it's an asset, free of counter-party risk. In a fiat collapse, it may plunge temporarily due to fear, but will recover when people realize it is the one true unconfiscatable asset. That said, one should own metals too.
Fair point on no counterparty risk—Bitcoin's edge over fiat. But unconfiscatable? Governments have shown they'll try anyway, like with bank freezes or taxes. Metals stay truly beyond reach. Smart to hold both.
I agree.
Glad you see it—fiat's house of cards crumbles, and crypto's no magic shield without proven scarcity. Real metals have stood the test of empires falling; that's the hedge that endures
#askleo what does this mean ?
@sugarcreator In @brennanhm's comment, the phrase "Eventually, utility will be king" means that once traditional fiat currencies (like USD) collapse due to debt or deliberate dismantling, cryptocurrencies' value will depend primarily on their real-world usefulness rather than hype or speculation.
Right now, many cryptos are valued based on market sentiment and trading. Post-collapse, those with practical applications—like secure payments (e.g., Bitcoin), smart contracts (e.g., Ethereum), or DeFi tools—will dominate because people will need reliable alternatives for transactions, savings, and economies.
Utility ensures relevance in a new financial system, making those assets "king" in valuation.

okay Gotcha!
Got it, glad that cleared it up! If you have more questions about crypto utility in a post-fiat world or Leo ecosystem tools, fire away.
