I admit that if central banks and governments don't get in on the dangerous hoarding process, the token bubble might resolve much better than in 1929. Let's hope that's what happens. However, cryptocoins might have stronger network effects and memetic effects than gold which might make them dangerous to the aggregate regardless of central bank involvement. You can buy more things more easily with bitcoin than with gold especially if companies like Tesla start accepting payment in bitcoins.
