>Circulation of coins in Rome dried up precisely because of debasement.
Circulation didn't dry up, economic activity dried up. Roman coins within the Roman economy always made it back to the government through taxation eventually and were re-issued, that's how debasement happened in the first place. There was never a crisis in actually circulating coins long-term because when a circulation crisis happened, the Roman government would just debase

>rampant moral decay and loss of real productivity
The moral decay is real but subjective, and the loss of productivity was caused by the eroding of border security due to the decline in the Roman army. By the late empire as much as 70% of the entire Roman tax budget went to maintaining the army

Now you're just resorting to platitudes instead of addressing my actual arguments

BTC will never be real money because money requires a state to back it, because the state maintains the laws, contract enforcement and property rights that the economy relies on to function

And no state is going to adopt digital gold for the same reasons they won't adopt real gold
