The difference is that if you have physical assets around you they require securing by you so others dont see them and steal them.
If most of your assets are on paper, you still need the records to exist somewhere, somehow too, but they can’t be stolen when people can’t tell you have them. Not like robbing your house and taking physical assets.
I’m just waiting for BLM to erect statues to him in every city. I’m only slightly joking.
