Bitcoin destroys gold

I can’t sell my physical gold instantly while I’m at home. With bitcoin I can do it from home... naked.

I can’t tell if my gold is real or fake, it could just be a tungsten bar from China. With bitcoin I don’t need to worry about such trivial things. Everything is open for me to verify without any third parties trust.

I have no idea how much gold is really out there. With bitcoin I know exactly how much is being produced and how many exist.

I can’t send my gold anywhere in the world instantly. With bitcoin I can do it in the middle of the ocean from a satellite to someone anywhere on the globe

I can’t sell a small portion of a gold coin instantly or pay for things easily. I would have to melt it in the crucibles to buy a taco from jack in the box.

I can’t mine gold in my shed out back. I can with bitcoin, if I had the funds.

Gold is for boomers.

Bitcoin destroys gold.

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

https://preview.redd.it/vli0ofqwf6w71.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a704c47375637858c27216379ae8313dadf8be8 This could be a long read. Kindly bear with me. I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation .
