Gold is a 5000 year old illusion propped up by tradition, hoarded by central banks and sold as safe by ppl who still fax docs. It has no fixed supply, no auditability whatsoever, and no place in a digital future. Bitcoin is the upgrade: hard-capped, borderless, programmable, open and owned by no one. One was chosen by primitive men who feared the unknown. The other was built by those who embrace it.

Bitcoin is gold for the post AI world ! But it doesn't mean the real world is going away .. Gold is by far the biggest asset class .. most ditributed asset .. and was forged in a Super Nova :-)
Bitcoiners don't need to bet against Gold !
"most distributed asset .. and was forged in a Super Nova"
so does iron.
Yes .... But Iron's half lfe is 10 years .. you can increase with Stainless Steel but it was not availble 5000 years back (Valerian Steel exists only in Game of Thrones :-)
Gold is forever ... Most dense 20 gm per cc ( same as Sun's core's outer layer) and most inert .. I mean there are denser elements but then they become on reactive ... So optimum ..
Our ancestors chose gold ( or iron) because they understood .. it was not a fluke ...
Rather aggressive Statement but yes!
