    If this is really your perspective then tone down the condescension. BTC is only viable due to the poor policies of the Trump administration.

    Gold has utility. BTC has no usability beyond being a cryptocurrency. I can make things with gold.

      Not only that but Bitcoin is very limited as far as where you can spend it not a lot of places take it in order to actually utilize it for the most part you have to trade that in for whatever current value it may be whether it’s $100 or $50,000 depending on how much the price has been manipulated at this point. And just like gold it’s volatile it’s going to all depend on what an arbitrary amount set is worth. And with more regulation Bitcoin becomes more and more useless as far as currency goes. I love Bitcoin I love crypto in general however I also realize how limited it is once you actually try to utilize it any sort of way. If somebody says hey I’m using it for my savings account and then next week that point is worthless because you can’t catch then and nobody’s willing to give you the actual money for it Cool you got a bunch of zeros and ones that are in your name and marked on a ledger someplace.

      Is there any value in being the hardest form of money in existence, objectively 🧐🧐🧐

      Edit: the condescension is helpful in the long run. People hate Bitcoin/hate people who invest in Bitcoin are very unlikely to invest in Bitcoin. Therefore more for me, again!
