For more clarity, the half truths I was referring to above were often about gold being a horrible store of value historically. Which is categorically untrue.

And the reasons he would state were misleading. (Always needing to be melted down to verify, etc)

Bitcoin is/will be superior to gold in every way if it stays decentralised and secure, but it’s never saw the need to be disingenuous about gold to make his points. Struck me that he likely has deeply rooted self-reflection/honesty issues.

I recognised the signs since I have/had the same shadow blindside in my make-up.
