Gold is being demonetized, but it’s price will still go up when priced in dollars.

If you price gold in bitcoin, you’ll see it’s trending toward 0.

Your assertion regarding gold “betting on a regression of humanity” is false. It’s no more true than saying buying any commodity is betting on a regression of humanity. Gold has value because it is indestructible, and the thing you use to purchase it is fake. Period, end of story.

All the other stuff you’re talking about is noise. Gold is real. Bitcoin is real. Dollars are not. That’s as deep as it goes. It’s not a zero-sum game where it’s bitcoin or gold. Both have merit as diversifying instruments that act as wealth removed from the control of politicians. One digital, one analogue.
