Physical gold is a good option

… but is it? It does not work as money that well. Or what do you think?

It is good as a store of value.

You can't buy things digitally with it so it is not the future, but as a diversification, it is a good option

I think it is better than fiat. It comes with other trade-offs which make it a non-starter imo. Like we have steel, why are we talking about building a skyscraper out of bamboo?

Well the question is can you take allodial title off it? Fiat is a scam. Largest scam in human history. Its not hard being better then fiat.

I mean, at least as much as you have allodial title of your own life.

They kill you, they can take ur gold.

Not necessarily the case with bitcoin.

Well key word "IF" btc is stored properly.

I think gold could pass that test too if stored properly, if its geographically hidden. But btc defenitly has a lot of advantages.

Infinitely better than fiat, but it comes with a bunch of other limitations.
