We can agree that ETH is not held by people to purchase goods in the same way that Bitcoin does in practice by today's standards,
so instead, can the utility of hording ETH be explained away with the claim that, with economies moving towards all-out digitalized smart contracts for the transaction of any underlying real asset, those holding large amounts of ETH now, will be better positioned in the future to avail of and be at a functionally higher advantage in that new economy than those who decided to not collect ETH during its growth, having dismissed it in our present day for its potential as the basis of that impending new economy?
How credible is this argument for collecting ETH, given that, when that new economy comes around, those who never held ETH could simply convert their wealth whenever the time comes that smart contracts do become the norm, despite them having foregone the growth of having held it during its development (our present day)? What I mean is that, assuming the new smart contract economy will all be based on ETH, then holding ETH is necessary to participate in that new economy
