plus these charts always get scarcity wrong. gold is simply not scarce. we've only mined like a billionth of the contents even of the earth's crust.

crucial thing is, if the price of gold goes up, the supply goes up - as all the deposits that were a little to costly to extract now become economic.

and that is true of every single other asset in human history - except bitcoin.

that's true scarcity - actually perfect price inelasticity of supply - and there should be a column in these things where bitcoin is on its own.

(and nobody really gets that - which is why bitcoin is going to steadily drain the wealth of the world)

oh, and bitcoin is way more unconfiscatable. most of mine literally cannot be confiscated even if I have a gun to my head and really want to give it to the attacker.
