Durable assets should be resistant to degradation or decay over time, ensuring their long-term value preservation. Historically, gold stands out as a prime example of a durable asset. Gold has been used as a [[Store of Value]] for centuries due to its resistance to corrosion or degradation. It retains its physical properties regardless of external factors such as climate or environmental conditions. Similarly, Bitcoin demonstrates durability through cryptographic security measures that protect against unauthorized access or monetary manipulation. Its [[Decentralization]] and [[Consensus Mechanism]] ensure that transactions recorded on the network remain immutable and secure from potential attacks or data loss. In blockchain space, durability can refer to an asset's ability to withstand technological challenges and maintain its integrity over time. Assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have proven durability by operating continuously since their inception without any significant disruptions or compromises to their underlying protocols. The decentralized nature of blockchain ensures that these assets are resistant to censorship, hacking attempts, and other forms of tampering. However, the strength of the network itself is paramount in resisting such attacks, and this attribute is more aptly explained by the property of [[Anti-fragility]], allowing a network or system to thrive under stressors and become stronger as a result.
