US currency is backed by the government, a mortgage is backed by property. In my opinion, "physics and math" do not provide the same kind of underlying value as a government or real estate.

Then why has no government currency ever been perpetually valuable?

Bitcoin will not be perpetually valuable. No cryptocurrency will be.

Forever is a mighty long time.
