Bitcoin has no value. It is useless 1s and 0s with no use in the real world. Investing in bitcoin means you speculate that someone will pay more for your useless 1s and 0s, this is why shitcoiners always shill their bitcoin, they need more idiots to buy bitcoin otherwise the value of their investment tanks. The entire rationale of the shitcoiners investment is that someone else will fall for the fraud. That somewhere out there, there is a greater fool. It is utterly unethical and any ”institution” participating in this scam should get their ass handled by the authorities.

No, fiats are issued by government. By law business have to accept fiat. I can do many things with fiat, pay bills, buy stuff and so on. I can’t do that with shitcoin, it is an unecessaey intermediary between the buyer and seller, it will never catch on as a way of payment, it is too slow and volatile to work properly as a means of exchange, so you can’t compare fiat with bitcoin. Bitcoin is useless but fiat is by law useful, regardless of what you think of that law.

The utility of gold does not justify it's price. There are other metals that are shiny and attractive, that we don't pay thousands of dollars an oz. There are other metals that can conduct electricity, that we don't pay thousands of dollars an oz. Gold's value is derived primarily from it's usefulness as money.

Most of the gold is held in vaults, to store value.

Anything can be made criminal on the whims of a tyrannical government. It doesn't make it inherently wrong, immoral, or whatever.

There are other metals than gold that can be used for jewelry, just as there are other stones than diamond, but they are not equally demanded by end customers, so they are not equally demanded by jewelry producers. I haven’t said gold is worth it’s current price. Those who buy gold at these levels are simply playing the same greater fools game as shitcoiners. Gold isn’t useful as money. I can’t buy anything with gold, except fiat. If we returned to a gold standard then yes I suppose you could say a lot of golds value would be as money.
>Most of the gold is held in vaults, to store value.
50 % is in jewelry, then there’s gold in central banks which is a remnant from the gold standard age. It is not newly aquired ”to store value” it is there because once it backed all money in circulation, and since the gold price collapsed down to $200 dollars/oz when England sold their gold centrals banks have agreed not to sell more than a smaller amount. Of course if there were a return to gold standard then that gold would become a lot more valuable. It’s funny because I guess you are right in a way, the central banks do store gold in vaults to ”store value” ie they do it to prevent a total market collapse + perhaps as a strategic reserve in case there’s a fiat meltdown. In such a scenario we would most likely return to the gold standard, as it is already tested and proven. But it’s unlikely to happen. More likely they just create a new fiat.

In fact I would go as far as to say Bitcoin is FAR LESS likely to collapse when compared to essentially any fiat. Most fiat is only relied on by one nation. Bitcoin is used in every nation in the world.

You can make the argument over and over Bitcoin COULD collapse. Yes, it could. But how would this happen? When? Why? How would nearly thirty thousand USD of value collapse? Because you believe everyone with BTC is just holding?

Bitcoin is by far the most overvalued "asset" anyone has ever seen. it's only utility is as a medium of exchange -- you can "hold" it (not really though, you are just withholding a secret key from others), buy it, and sell it. that is the same as literally any asset. Everything is a medium of exchange. except other assets have other uses too.

There are a few other steel stocks that are just as bullish, most are more expensive, but have been putting up impressive numbers these past few months.
