This is a fair point. I guess I was sorting shooting from the hip with that one. I think one can say that if oil had more collectible value it would not have gone into negative prices.

Oil has negative carry, meaning it costs money to store it and transport it... so does gold when it's vaulted but its really not comparable given density and optionality
Land has taxes/defense, maintenance if its to be productive...
Lack of negative carry is one of Bitcoin's most unique properties.

I'd argue that Bitcoin has a slight negative carry, due to a need to maintain security, but definitely much less per value unit than any of what you mentioned.
