Bitcoin is better money than gold. The simplest ye most overlooked reason: scarcity.

Gold’s supply is elastic. As price rises, so does supply. A bet on gold is a bet against human ingenuity. A bet against our ability to engineer more gold.

I don’t want to bet against Elon to store my hard work.

Bitcoin fixes this. It's finite. A bet on humanity, not a bet against it.

KYC makes any money social credit. So as long as your company does not provide KYC free services you are a hypocrite of epic proportions. Not to speak about fungibility, which is an essential requisite of money that gold, cash and Monero have but not Bitcoin. There are trade offs. You choose aud...

It’s a tough debate. I think it’s best better feature is because it’s auditable. Because if it was scarce but not auditable then it would outcompete like gold does to silver, but it wouldn’t trounce it. If there was a gold mirror that was auditable then that is already 10x better than gold. ...

da fuk? why is mallers making gold FUD? "gold is short human ingenuity because Elon will just fly to Mars" is right up there with "Bitcoin is insecure because quantum computers"
