 Peter Schiff often brings up that 16 years into Bitcoin, you still can't buy coffee with it (even tho you can)

But I wonder when the last time he bought a coffee with a gold coin was? 🤔 
 There are probably more places where you can buy coffee with bitcoin than places where you can buy coffee with gold 
 A reminder that the supply of gold in the long term is essentially infinite. https://theprint.in/opinion/giant-asteroid-has-gold-worth-700-quintillion-but-it-wont-make-us-richer/260482/ 
 Does this mean blow jobs are a currency 
 Probably about the late 1800s

The coffee was probably shit, too.  
 He is actually smart, he just has conflicting interests that he is protecting. 
 Did you just say he’s lying  
 I want a lawyer. 
 Fair. 🤣. I retract the question.  
 Wonder if you can buy coffee with gold coins in gold conferences? 
 American Express® Gold Card has gold in the name and he gets confused. 
 I bought coffee from nostr:nprofile1qqsvyv8d6dx2tjp33069j2kq2mx7xage6w2upyzvxl4pcegt3t22wyspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgjwaehxw309aekzarnv9nk2tnc09az7qfqwaehxw309ashqmrpvdjkjmn5dpjhxatw9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsaxvfxr with Bitcoin. Checkmate atheists. 
 90% of the things Peter Schiff says is solely to get a reaction from bitcoiners and to try and keep his gold followers. 
 Or even worse, a gold mining stock which he probably owns more of than actual gold.  
 I tell folks this all the time....

Good luck spending your gold at a gas station.

Chances are I can use my bitcoin for a Walmart gift card and use it for gas if need be.... 
 The price of gold is so manipulated through etfs (paper gold), you'd probably be over paying for a cup of coffee. It's impossible to count up all of the worlds gold - so even the value Peter thinks it's at, isn't real but a prefabricated version.
