Well I just experienced yet another reason why #btc > #gold

Looking to diversify my holdings, I bought a gold bar about a year ago at a local coin shop. Cash transaction, no ID required. "Wow" I thought. "Nice and private that was nice."

Went to the same shop to sell it back. "Ill need your license...and I need to snap your picture and scan your fingerprint." What?!? "Why?" County bill of sale law.

I tried again in nearby, more conservative county: "yup its the law" Which law? "I dunno"

So basically shotgun #KYC'd. 

Roach motel.

 

 Yup. Welcome to gold. Bitcoiners dont diversify because bitcoin is the best asset 

Gold is up only 86% in the last 4 years 

Bitcoin is uo 1500% in 4 years 

Dont chop your legs off for a shiny rock
