I think Capitalists is the wrong word. Capitalist is a very broad and wooly definition, 'greedy people' is more appropriate and meaningful.
Makes me poor in that bar :)
If I walk into a bar and show a crypto enthusiast my wallet with 200 BCH in it, they may think i'm wealthy. If the bar won't accept BCH it's not valuable there.
Yes, wealth is a perception mostly. A vantage point of ownership.
Water is a better analogy, it is free and abundant, but extremely valuable.
I must to exchange it to be able to access the value within it, value is not intrinsic to wealth.
I can be wealthy in USD, if I go to a country that does not accept it, it's not valuable.
Wealth is not a measure of value, in the same way that price is not a measure of value. Consensus is a measure of value. Price represents a view, not a consensus.
