Humans didn't have the technology to build a decentralized currency for 3000 years. That tech was invented only 17 years back

3000 years from now what would be the store of value would be the question to ask.

I'm fine with letting decentralized currency maturing for say, 300 years, in some small corner of the world, before letting it loose on the rest of us.
