Obviously #bitcoin is the only true Bearer Asset left.

“The story would be very different, because in the United States, subsoil rights do belong to the landowner (unless they’ve been sold separately), so if instead of being born in Auvergne, he had been born in Texas, he could legally be exploiting his gold, or at least negotiating with a mining company to take a share of whatever is earned from his deposit.

And the truth is, when things like this happen, the only thing that comes to mind is wondering how far private property rights go in many places. Is it logical, or at least fair, to find a gold mine on your own land and not have the option to negotiate? It would be a very different story if this man hadn’t spoken up about his discovery.”

Opinions?
