I was thinking the other day how the digitization of currency has only made it easier for the rich to keep it away from the rest of us. You can kill them, they're only human, but you can't get your hands on their wealth. But currency is an abstraction, and it's value is based on the assumption that it will eventually exchanged for something IRL. Currency that is never spent is nothing; it may as well not exist. It's no loss to society for billionaires' unspent fortunes to disappear into nothing.
