Listen shiny rock fans - i understand you think gold and silver are "hard money". The problem is they're paper-traded to death. For every 1 ounce of physical gold there's 200-250 ounces of "paper-gold" being traded. So your "hard money" asset is overwhelmingly valued by derivatives, options and other financial instruments created by institutions who also leverage these tools to manipulate markets.

Listen, you had a great run. For around 5,000 years you dazzled people with your physical properties. But all good things must come to an end. We no longer live in an analog world where I take my horse to the local merchant to exchange gold for goods. Those times will never return - and if they do it means humanity has completely collapsed and you should probably favor metals like lead and brass aka ammunition.

Everything is digital now, your "hard money" rock is not only obsolete but severely compromised by modern finance, electronic markets and institutions who are the beneficiaries of effectively free money from our governments. And they use this money to trade against you.

I have great news though. We have something something even better now. Something even more scarce, transportable, verifiable and even infinitely upgradeable. We still can't even imagine the possibilities of things we can do with bitcoin - we have barely scratched the surface. I would like to welcome you to bitcoin with open arms and help you embrace the future of money.

Problem is: Bitcoin derivatives like ETFs will do the same thing to Bitcoin 🥲
