It is a bearer asset

Meaning your money can be stolen and it's gone forever unless you convince them to return it

that nobody can take away from you without force

Unless your wallet's password is cracked, then you're fucked and have no recourse. There have been so many issues with wallets generated with a bad algorithm that allows people to break your phrase easily and leave you without anything. And that's not even getting into hot wallet issues where you get rug pulled and they steal all your money or you decide to give your money to someone like SBF and the whole exchange does down.

There are so many examples that disprove this statement that it's honestly hilarious.

and no government can inflate away and leave you poor.

No, instead you can get left poor by some scam you fell for and have even less recourse to get your money back than if it was the government.
