That's the purpose of hard money, honest money...it's not about commodities like gold as an investment, it's about protecting the buying power of the currency you own so that you can make investments.
You can invest in all the "honest money" you want. Nothing stopping you... as mentioned above. Hell, I would buy me some honest money if it would ever take a healthy sh*t...
Think of "money" aka "usd" as a metric. What ever you're trading, that's what you use to determine whether you made "money" or lost "money".
You can use anything as a metric that you choose.
There's nothing stopping you.

Has holding your paper script in a savings account or under your mattress reaped you investment rewards? No...it's gone negative and lost you buying power.
Why the f*ck would you put money under your mattress and expect it to grow?
It's not a f*ckin' bean stalk.
Put a meatball sandwich under there, tell me how that works out for you.

Ben just lives in the Matrix, whatever the Matrix tells him is real is his reality. The Matrix tells him "we'll debase your money, so just work harder slave, try to catch up if you can with us plundering you through the decades as we laugh at you hamsters on a treadmill"
Yep... put in the work, get paid... isn't that the American way?
If you stop putting in work... and you stop contributing... and you put your cash under a mattress, well... you get what you get.
That's our world
Sounds to me like you're the one in the matrix... the first version... the nice happy utopia one.
The world we live in has monsters in it... big scary f*ckin monsters that want to get that loot.
