I think of them as the canonical infinite of fiat currency. More than any other thing, they are ONLY the value of 'getting everyone to agree they are this value'. It's beyond meaningless, but there's a fundamental nature to what it is: a pure power play.

You might as well go, 'I have eleventy billion dollars, prove me wrong' and save a heck of a lot of energy. It will all come down to how many weapons you can bring to bear, regardless.
