GOLD

Murky_Opening2532

Where did you get your info. ITS NOT GOLD OR BASED OF OFF ANYTHING. It has its own markets.

BuddyIsMyHomie

What’s insane is like—well, where else is your money safe? CASH? No, $DXY down >12% and the USD getting further devalued. EQUITIES? This WAS the move if you believed in U.S. Capitalism and engineering/innovation. Not anymore. CRYPTO? This ALSO WAS the move given policies, public bullishness, insider support (Sacks, Barron, etc.) Not any more… GOLD? This is ironically the place where you go when you don’t believe or trust in the administration. Apparently, DJT is either retarded, immoral and extremely greedy, or is acting on behalf of those who benefit from destabilization.

Syncopat3d

Such a foolish dramatic perspective. What if you try using Nov 2021 as a starting point, for a slightly longer perspective? GOLD: 1774 -> 3974 (+124%) BTCUSD: 56988 -> 121714 (+113%) BTCUSD has a higher realized volatility, so past performance is even less indicative of future performance. Yes BTCUSD is nice, but just because you like bitcoin does not mean you have to make fun of gold or gold holders.

Commercial_Leek6987

I am not “going on about” anything, I am pointing out that GOLD-SP500-BTC being down at the same time! Usually investors move money from one to another. Liquidation of all non-cash commodity at the same time is something I have not seen before.

Escapement_Watch

lol Crypto always stutters when GOLD PUMPS. We need gold to calm down and chop sideways then we can resume. But I think it will be a slow melt up bull run that extends into 2026. It is very different now with institutions and etfs.

Johnsie408

If they were all falling at the same rate then they would appear to be stable. You need to compare these currencies to something else like GOLD or BITCOIN, all currencies are losing ground against these safe havens.

LinoStar69

I bet GOLD will hit 5k before ETH 🤣

bitcoin_islander

Look up the GOLD/BTC chart and dont cherry pick data based on the last 6 months alone. Gold going nowhere.

iwannaskibbittvbeep

ETH, while it is the most useful ALT, will never be anything close to GOLD when it comes to inflation proofing your portfolio. Its closer to gambling, and most of my portfolio is in ETH, so take my word for it. I also do a lot of SILVER/GOLD investments.

iwannaskibbittvbeep

GOLD/PAXG is inflation proof because gold is a store of value. BTC and ETH are crypto, a small subset of finance and are affected by inflation. BTC will have more crashes. GOLD doesn't really crash that hard

olegai

and the reality is that if you would've bought GOLD you'd be in much safer space:)) and look at the gold performance this year ...

Lagna85

If u bought GOLD at the start of the year, you will have +53%. If u bought BTC, you will have +28%. For most alts, it's negative.

jwz9904

Old is GOLD

EvilBeanz59

more than that my friend. You are seeing more fiat chase the same amount of BTC. The direct reasoning on BTC and its ATH is because of easy money )easier than normal I should say LOL) because of this you see a direct influx of where those dollars go....GOLD BTC and other assets.

*If you are lucky enough to be an investor who has access investments in the capital markets in the U.S, you really should diversify.* There are a lot of people in developing and 3rd world countries who don't have access this type of market that are relatively efficient, high growth, free of corruption and manipulation and BTC may be the only option for them. Use February 2021 as a starting point when BTC reached $1 Trillion marketcap as a global asset and not 2018, 2013 or 2010 when BTC was either a relatively small or tiny asset giving you some outrageous CAGR which cannot be repeated by a multi-trillion marketcap asset. From there BTC performance is still impressive but it's more in line with other traditional assets. It's actually very impressive that despite the huge appreciation in gold with central banks buying thousands of metric tons of it in the last few years and the AI narrative and CapEX spending in the stock market, BTC is still a top performer among these assets in the last ~5 years from when it reached a $1 Trillion marketcap. I throw individual stocks in the comparison because people inevitably scream NVDA today like they screamed TSLA in 2020. Outpeformance of various asset classes, individual stocks and even BTC wanes and waxes and nothing is guaranteed so diversification is key. BTC has been a great diversifier even after reaching a monstrous $1 Trillion marketcap. *Annualized from 02/19/2021 when BTC reached $1 Trillion Marketcap* | Asset | From Date | CAGR | |:-----------|------------:|:------------:| | NVDA | 02/19/2021| 75.1% | META | 02/19/2021| 24.28% | MSFT | 02/19/2021| 18.06% | GOLD | 02/19/2021| 17.87% | BTC | 02/19/2021| 17.20% | AAPL | 02/19/2021| 16.18% | QQQ | 02/19/2021| 13.65% | SPY | 02/19/2021| 12.38% | GOOGL | 02/19/2021| 11.57% | TSLA | 02/19/2021| 11.44% | AMZN | 02/19/2021| 6.74%

Not sure drops in $USD qualify as new ATH. We should be measuring against GOLD.

The cause of “uptober” is quite simple: it is the beginning of Q4,and if markets have done well during the year, this forces sidelined tradfi capital into the market, needing to keep up with competitors and their own benchmarks. This is not just a simple matter of fomo, it is a necessity to keep up with your benchmarks and competitors, or you will lose AUM or even your job. BTC is a great vehicle for this, due to its high volatility, returns and liquidity. Not much can substitute for it in this regard. This is especially true if SPY and GOLD are up a lot on the year; it’s only natural to begin eyeing BTC as a way to catch up. Conditions going into the end of this year could not be more perfect for a textbook performance chase, as many were shaken out by the tariff tantrum and either underperformed or some still (esp liberals and moderates) sidelined entirely. Many of the traditional crypto specific seasonality effects are fading in relevance with a fundamentally different set of participants driving the market post ETFs. But the drivers of the Q4 performance chase have become more relevant, if anything.

Little late, but this popped on my feed, I wanted to maybe add at least one coin that’s unique in that it’s coin literally reflects the price of gold, its chart therefore is fantastic, it’s called PAX GOLD, so yea bitcoin is one you def want to have. Many others will say other big coins (ETH, Sol, LINK) but I wanted to add this as a good one to start with

It's absolutely disingenuous to talk about global liquidity and outpeformance then to use the starting point of 2015 when BTC was a tiny $4 Billion marketcap asset that was almost at penny stock levels and had zero impact from global liquidity. Use February 2021 as a starting point when BTC reached $1 Trillion marketcap as a global asset. From there BTC performance is still impressive but it's more in line with other traditional assets. *Annualized from 02/19/2021 when BTC reached $1 Trillion Marketcap* | Asset | From Date | CAGR | |:-----------|------------:|:------------:| | NVDA | 02/19/2021| 73.92% | META | 02/19/2021| 26.11% | MSFT | 02/19/2021| 17.78% | GOLD | 02/19/2021| 17.18% | AAPL | 02/19/2021| 15.89% | BTC | 02/19/2021| 15.37% | QQQ | 02/19/2021| 13.74% | SPY | 02/19/2021| 12.24% | TSLA | 02/19/2021| 11.29% | GOOGL | 02/19/2021| 11.22% | AMZN | 02/19/2021| 6.89% At around ~$1 Trillion range, an asset has reached megacap status and you need significant fundamentals and/or narrative to attract real money for continued appreciation -- the returns become muted.

I am up over 400% on all my BTC buys from the bear market in 2023. That's better performance than almost anything else I could have put my money into. Sure I could have put everything into NVDA or the 5 Alts out of 50,000+ that might have outperformed BTC but I don't have a crystal ball. Only thing I was fairly certain of was that BTC was trending up after a bear market bottom and it was a movie I'd seen before. *BTC is Alpha. BTC is the diversifier that gives you out-peformance in a portfolio of traditional assets* which you should be owning anyway. *A portfolio doesn't mean holding an assortment of shitcoins, the vast majority of which lose money and/or massively underperform BTC.* Alts give you ZERO diversification and only introduce more risk. Why? Alts have a very tight correlation coefficient with BTC, meaning you are totally depending on BTC appreciation to increase in value and even if BTC goes up, most Alts likely still won't appreciate much or at best just pump and dump which you won't be able to time. | Asset |From 2/10/2023 | |:-----------|------------:| | NVDA | 742%| | BTC | 428%| | GOOGL | 154%| | AMZN | 137%| | GOLD | 98%| | QQQ | 93%| | MSFT | 90%| | SPY | 59%| | AAPL | 49%| Sharing 1 address with ~$5,000 invested in cycle bear market of February 2023 ==> Current value ~$28,000 https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/38DsNUNwTfuGsnPzCF9EyotGq1wuuiqhsu It's a timelocked BTC HODL address.

Be patient. As governments roll out biometrics and CBDCs the crypto payments space could explode. Imagine black markets multiplying 10x or 100x. How will they be settled? OIL and GOLD are already being sold for crypto. Those are trillion $ markets.

bitcoin_islander

Look up the GOLD/BTC chart

LinoStar69

BTC is up \~10% since January, while NASDAQ is up \~16%, SP500 \~10% and GOLD \~40%. Yep that shit ain't worth the risk anymore

nezeta

BTC is now at $110K and expected to reach $1M eventually. Not many people doubt it anymore. So, why would it be too late? Do you really think like of GOLD and NVIDIA will do 10x?

Never bad to buy GOLD! digital or real

The new law requires that stable coins be backed by cold hard USD OR treasuries. Treasuries are US government debit. So if you have stable coin and want to issue $1 billion, pegged to dollar, then you will take $1 billion in US Treasuries to back it (because treasuries pay interest unlike straight USD). So great, on one hand you have a nice stable coin. On the other hand, you just bought $1 Billion of US Debit. Your stable coins can trade world wide, on any crypto market that lists them (or defi). Congratulations, your international stable coin is success. But at the same time, you just exported US Government debit. -- It's a way for government to get more credit and to export that credit to places that otherwise might not buy that debit. It's a new line of credit for the US Government to borrow from. -- Not sure what he is getting about with the second part. But typically governments don't straight up "default" on their obligation. They inflate it away. They inflate the money supply and pay off their debits with newer dollars that are worth less. Look at USD/GOLD or the dollar index. The dollar is losing value. If I borrowed $100 from you in 2000 and then gave you back $110 today, you might think "wow, 10% return, thanks!". But $100 in 2000 had the buying power of $180 today. That is, that $110 still buys less today then $100 did in 2000, so you got more dollars back, but you can buy less real goods/services with it today.

deadpanpoker

You asking this question might mean you don't understand the role that BTC is currently playing... Why do folks invest in real estate properties? Cash flow, home appreciation, tax advantages, etc... Why do folks invest in Gold? (hint: same reason why people invest in BTC) Me? I invest in GOLD & SPX6900 which is the next BTC.

no harm in diversifying! Especially if you're up big! I love BTC and will always be a BTC maxi but the facts are the marketcap cant 5x at this point w/o the entire worlds GDP skyrocketing. Mint ends 2140! BTC is here to stay and will increase longterm from here as supply and demand will always be there especially as generations grow up with BTC being the GOLD standard! Make your own decisions, but your advisor isn't giving you bad advice! Think of altcoins and things that can be a little riskier but maybe get you bigger gains that you can reinvest into BTC! NFA

Look up the GOLD/BTC or the XAG/BTC chart for yourself that everything against bitcoin goes to 0. Sell silver, buy bitcoin is a no-brainer.

Tru say but the crazy thing is that if the creator of Bitcoin wud actually cash in their coins they’d almost be the richest person in the world 🌎!!!.. And that whole thing started in 2008 and now it’s worth more than GOLD.  Basically nothing which is sort of what bitcoin is becomes the wealthiest asset in the world, and it’s crazy to think 🧐

A. It doesn't store a value, asset backed systems exists that do, and not just GOLD!!!, there's also asset backed bonds and other fully collateralized financial instruments. B. It's a bubble, perpetual growth is a mathmatical impossiblity, if bitcoin is worth 1m USD per coin it's market cap would be 21 Trillion. C. It's only actual value is the price of the transactions on the network, currently $501, 456.6 worth per day, this is a fraction of it's market value.

It’s getting kind of weird. Is BTC hard money? Sure. Does it fix much wrong? Yes. However imagine if someone went there with a huge flag that said GOLD!! It would be kind of weird. End of the day it’s just money

About the BYBIT card, do you guys have plans to expand to more region this year or anytime soon??? I know BYBIT is literally one of my favorites exchange, even as most CEX is banned in my region, BYBIT still consider us..... But how does BYBIT are as well making plans to differentiate itself from it top competitors in the trading market(excluding the option to trade gold, stock etc) And talking about GOLD, why is TRADFI Gold not available to trade 24/7? And honestly when I saw the announcement, I thought we'll be able to trade physical gold through p2p but I get it now(bybit us a digital asset platform, so trading physical gold is near impossible) but are there any plans for physical bar/coins for gold trading through regional p2p and what securities measures are in place to prevent scam if you're planning on physical gold trading? And is they any plans to expand TRADFI to more region as well? Since it's limited. And about the breach from Lazarus in North Korea, is there any ongoing plans to recover the stolen funds? Through maybe tracing each transactions made and is there any new string security measures in place to ensure history doesn't repeat itself? And if there's a security measures, do you like make plans to place a bug bounty to pay ethical hackers for pentesting? Thanks for hosting the AMA My USER ID: 388349801

No way. GOLD will remain unrivaled forever. BTC will eventually be at #2, but its market cap will be half that of GOLD (like $20T vs $40T).

If I was 23 again I would observe AI was added to my competition, ontop of women and immigrants. Easy to see they have to reset the fiat system since it is clearly on a runaway track. Just like pokemon cards, the value of BTC is in the purchaser's eye. In 1991 everyone thought upperdeck baseball / hockey cards were a wise investment. The only thing that was certain throughout human history was GOLD in your hand not that ETF crap. BTC is subject to the new system just as it is subject to fiat today. Your internet access can be restricted, your person can be cut off from fiat exchanges and currently BTC is getting wrapped up into the NWO. So if you do wind up having a bunch of it you will have to be a whore of the "golden age" system in order to use it. The days of trading BTC for hockey bags of cash are gone and the freedom we had is gone with it. So, observe your freedom is being further restricted each year, your competition is increasing with each deployed GPU and issued passport and everyone is getting less competent and less willing to uphold a system that keeps them fed due to rampant fraud and general degeneracy. Your call bud, but if I was 23 again, I'd start reading a bible.

Massive_Branch_2320

Whats interesting is one guy was yelling at me saying the original promise of btc was "insane returns" and me daring to question that thesis by showing the white paper was somehow blasphemous. I mean, sure, at the moment BTC is acting like GOLD did before it acted like a "stable" currency. But BTC never promised anything other than verifiable transactions and ownership of an asset in the digital space // cannot be duped etc. I don't get why its so hard to get that without gaslighting us with tulip lore. Anyway, glad Im on this sub. I cant believe the animosity they have towards people that were able to make big positive change in their life outside a rigged system. How dare we find an alternative! Imagine these folks back in the day encountering the internet? "ITS GOING TO ZERO!"

>Yeah 'these' (gold) asteroids! Wow the irony of you trying to correct me... Your assumption is that every asteroid is gold and not these "coveted" other metals. I gave the OP the benefit of the doubt to assume he was meaning all the possible metals.when they described ' these asteroids'. I guess YOU can read it the other way. So yeah the "the irony of you trying to correct me". You're inserting yourself into a conversation just to redefine the discussion so you can be pissed about something. >A cursory bit of research into industry and the metals required would make it obvious to anyone that bulk gold provides very little industrial benefit. Sure, buddy. Spoken like someone who hasn't done their research. 'most useful metals in industry' or 'rarest metals used in industry' Such searched relate to NOW which INCLUDES FACTOR ON THE CURRENT PRICE OF GOLD. There are many uses where anything but gold is a lesser sub.

Jay314stl

Do this same math-but in GOLD and see what you come up with.

Knerd5

These hypothetical 6102 conversions gloss over the foundational aspect of what happened. Gold was seized because the USD was literally BACKED BY GOLD. At the time in order to print more dollars you literally needed to *have more gold*. The economy was frozen in the great depression because of the limitations of a hard currency and thus extreme measures had to be taken. The USD is not and will never be backed by bitcoin. It will never be backed by anything ever again. Getting a nation wide bitcoin seizure past the Supreme Court will have an insurmountable climb because of this. Understanding the context of 6102 is more important than what 6102 actually did.

You're very welcome! Glad to help! This is the perfect time in your life to start saving for your future! If I could go back in time, I would tell my younger self the same thing. Basically, to build an investment portfolio that contains a diverse selection of key investments. Investments that not only look like they are going to rise "to the moon" so to speak, but also some more conservative investments (like index funds that are tied to the performance of the most successful companies), or Bonds that have guaranteed returns, real estate, etc.) to hedge your risk. The best thing about investing in this day and age, is that you don't require a broker like when I was your age. And you can get started with as much or as little money as you can spare. I started day trading just a few years ago on Robinhood, just because it was easy for me. I put at least $100/mo into BTC and others and have recurring purchases set up to automatically execute monthly purchases out of money that gets automatically transferred into my RH investment account so I don't forget. I think you get the idea, you're totally doing the right thing by starting to save for the future now! The only other thing I might have told my younger self, was to buy more gold! Lol. BTC could very well be YOUR GOLD!

Cold-Operation-4974

i want several acres of land and guns and gold bars and a selection of 90s and 2000s automobiles. preferably in a mountainous region within half an hour from a walmart and mcdonalds. what i buy and sell to get there doesnt matter much. i dont really see the point of OWNING shares of Apple over investing in AAPL through a traditional brokerage platform. *(yes i realize that blackrock and fidelity and vanguard get all the voting power to control the corporations and thus control the planet. i never believed BTC was going to change that. i honestly believe BTC was made by the CIA to buy the USA another century of hegemony and give the secret banking families that control the planet more time to take over the world's supply of GOLD because there will be less upward pressure on the price of gold due to all the demand that will shift to BTC. banks have been and will continue to take over the world and governments will continue to do whatever it is banks want as has been the case for the past 500 years. i dont think this ends until jesus comes out of the sky to defeat his enemies. am i crazy. sure. i also bought BTC at $7k and i'd like to learn more about this cold storage thing. but its a bit confusing.)* the same thing goes for gold and bitcoin... though i could see a future where i might want to keep a portion or all of my gold holdings in physical coins buried in the woods... i cannot see a situation where i need to do the same with bitcoin in other words. i see a .0001% chance of a zombie/nuclear/weimar/electromagnetic disaster bringing us to a world where guns and bullets and gold coins reign supreme. it would be very convenient to be holding a box full of gold coins and not GLD shares that are entirely gone. poof. i see a 0% chance of my bitcoin or stocks being useful in that scenario. if the US stock market goes to ZERO... its because there are aliens blasting us with lasers and bioweapons and the only safe places to live are in caves... so BTC in a cold wallet is as useless as BTC on the coinbase platform or BTC in a fidelity ETF.

Stackertotherafters

I was all in on bitcoin, got in mid 2017. Now, I see that having some bitcoin is fine but the true system outside the system is GOLD. I’m happy to answer questions to dig deeper if you would like but I am more convinced than ever that bitcoin is the distraction to take the attention away from what is happening with gold. The fiat system is broken by design, and rapidly devolving into worldwide hyperinflation. A new system must be implemented. But, gold is THE item to carry wealth through time. Bitcoin will exist, sure. But it isn’t the end all be all like many believe.

Narrow-Ad6797

When you say things like this it's insinuated the dollar will not collapse. If that's your point we might hit 7.18 billion ZWL(the hyper inflated zimbabwe dollar) within a year. Assuming the USD stays not collapsed, 50m per coin would mean a market cap of 1.05 QUADRILLION dollars, a little under 3X the entire world's real estate market. Or 67.6X bigger than the market cap of GOLD. No way Jose. No way.

Django_McFly

Plenty of easy money to make in crypto. Some random shitcoin is going up 100%+ everyday. Within the last two year you could have bought $16k BTC. $900 ETH, $10 SOL. BTC is $100k+ today. ETH is $2300 and SOL is like $150. If you couldn't make any money off of that, I don't know what to tell you stop. Actually I do: STOP PICKING ULTIMATE DOG CRAP THEN BLAMING THE MARKET BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THAT YOU ACTUALLY CAN'T ALCHEMICALLY TRANSMUTE SHIT INTO GOLD. > Bitcoin breaking 100k didn’t give us the Altcoin season we were expecting Ultimate dog shit tokens always die. Always have. Always will. If you think there was no alt season, it just means you picked this cycle's BCH or NANO. You thought AVAX in 2025 would rise from the ashes like ETH in 2021. Unfortunately it turned out to be EOS in 2021 where it showed the world it would never be relevant.

Smooth-Negotiation15

I’m not investing primarily to get rich. I’m stashing money in BTC to escape the inflation and devaluation of fiat currency. Because of endless printing of cash, naturally GOLD & BTC will rise over time. If I get rich, awesome. If I don’t I’ll still be in a better position long term vs being in all cash

> If you bought BTC a year ago for $100 you'd have $110 today BTC was $64K 1 year ago. It's not up 10% in 1-Year, it's up 62%. I could do this math in 3rd grade. - BTC 62% - GOLD 45% - S&P 500 ~9% - QQQ ~9%

Considered selling paper SLV and GLD and buying tokenized versions like Meld GOLD and SILVER as well. At least buy PSLV if you can.

The1WhoDares

I have plenty of it, well actually I have a few hundred. 300+… its not a bad deal, especially right now. Sol has gone down, but it has been going up. Things are LOOKING really good for the cryptocurrency community right now. U own ANY crypto and u have GOLD fingers. lol, I wish I could buy more, TBH

It’s BETTER THEN GOLD ITS THE ASSET OF ASSETS…. Do ur due diligence or mock me

Ayyy very nice! Check out PLAT/GOLD chart. Plat is so undervalued and will play catch up

Suggest you look into rare metals exposure too. Gold, Silver, platinum, palladium are all coming off of range lows compared to SPX (GOLD/SPX chart for example). They should be outperforming SPX especially if 10Y yields keeps rising. We seem to be in a period where commodities will be marked up, hence outperforming the SPX Just a thought…do some chart analysis and see for yourself.

I personally think the US ETFs and the institutional interest has changed the game completely. Just how it changed the game of GOLD when they were created. From that point on, the downwards volatility had been massively reduced.

NitefeederToken is absolutely primed for a face melting run. This is meta GOLD at 3.5m mc and just over a year old. Team is pushing. Massive game near completion. PEPES ONLY PET. Nitefeeder - Pepe's pet kiwi bird. Found in The Boys Club and Night Riders Comics by matt furie. Zeus is bundled fake garbage and is at 50mc rn. Dont fade or you may pay 🙏🏼

GOLD is also inflating. BTC won't ever catch GOLD.

You may need a certain level subscription. Where you type in the ticket, type “=BTC/GOLD” and just verify you’re using the correct units (USD vs market cap)

excellent analysis, we actually should be comparing Bitcoin to GOLD to determine if we are at an ATH compared to gold, and for that we have a ways to go. But all in all ATH really doesn't mean much these days, when you are comparing the hardest asset known to man. Eventually its going to ATH everything else.

NotTheSharpestPenciI

ATH? lmao. No, it isn't. It's dollar that's sinking. BTC/EUR: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=BTC&to=EUR BTC/GBP: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=BTC&to=GBP BTC/GOLD: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=BTC&to=XAU And so on. As a bonus, USD/GOLD: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=XAU I didn't need you to prove my point because I already unsubbed, but thanks anyway.

Not a coin, GOLD. XAUUSD

Lmfao. This is GOLD after I watched that YouTube video with her saying this last night. 😂

PutMiserable34

I'm not a stock market investor. I've invested in property....and Ive done well. I heard of bitcoin maybe 10 years ago and almost bought 10 for $A30K....but didn't. I've now invested $A100k in Bitcoin.... planning to just set and forget. I'm hearing now it's soon to crash. Looks like an invest High Risk as unlike property and eg GOLD Bitcoin is not just a set and forget investment. I think I'll sell it now as it looks more a worry.....or reduce it to $A50K

TheModernJedi

However with the Robinhood 5% cash back GOLD card…!

It already is BETTER THAN GOLD, ya Jerky!!

Quite simply because they do what they want with their money. They may have secured, bought GOLD or others. The key is to continue buying when it drops. At least that's what I did.

tobypassquarant

See, it has to have independent value that is transferred cross border and not tied to any country. CBDC's won't work because its still essentially transferring US dollars or Euros etc. You want something that transfers like GOLD, independent of an country's central bank and economy but still has value everywhere you go. It's always telling when governments do something - they never rush to do anything but somehow a lot of them are rushing to hold BTC as part of their reserves in such a short time span? Further, this is a global effect, not only in the USA. Why? Who's advising them? Why do they need it and why is it so important to do this with HASTE when nothing else they do is quick? Politicians are useless unless THEY want something done. On top of this, other issues seem more pressing but they're conveniently being ignored in favor of this. What's the goal? Answering these questions will lead you to a similar idea. Something is happening, and it's never good for the average person. Securing the facilities are easy, it's been done before. Just look at where Blackrock's data centers are... Energy constraints are a non-issue; as our civilization grows and advances, our scientists will continue to develop ways to harness more energy.

So.... nation states are now buying the tulips. Fuckin useless tulips that don't do anything. This doesn't end well. Yes, BTC is up. and it will be up for a long time, but it's not "forever". It lacks utility and real value. We'd be better off holding... get this, GOLD! I know, I know. The gold bugs are insufferable, and they're wrong... but when you think about it at a NATIONAL scale, you know they're right. At that point, it's obvious. Just hold... anything else.

For the early responders that seem confused by the analogy. Yes you can break gold into ounces and grams ect and yes BTC into satoshi ( 100 million per BTC). We all know that. I was comparing pound of Gold compared to BTC. Before you get more complicated over a pound and a Troy Pound.. I was referring to a 16 ounce pound not a 12 ounce Troy pound. Depending how you look at it in comparison it takes about 2 pounds of GOLD at current valuations to equal one BTC… and this still makes it significantly more rare than gold. As of April 30, 2025, the spot price of gold is approximately $3,313.61 per troy ounce . Using this figure, we can calculate the price per pound in both standard (avoirdupois) and troy measurements: 💰 Gold Price Per Pound (as of April 30, 2025) • Standard 16-ounce pound (avoirdupois): $3,313.61 × 16 = $53,017.76 • Troy pound (12 troy ounces): $3,313.61 × 12 = $39,763.32 Gold is typically measured in troy ounces, so the troy pound is more commonly used in the precious metals market.

> ETH performed second best at the current time. So you only want to compare ETH to Shitcoins that lose money? ETH has an annualized return of 3.3% over a ~7 year period. It's a toxic non-performing asset. You could have mad more money in U.S. Treasuries staking fiat at zero risk than holding ETH. **Since the 2017/18 ATHs, 7+ year time frame* (Stock Market doubles every 7 years, Rule of 72) | | Annual Return| |:-----------|:------------:| | BTC | 24.93% | QQQ | 16.82% | GOLD | 13.26% | SPY | 9.91% | ETH | 3.3%
