 Bitcoin is digital gold and bitcoin is money, bitcoin is what gold was 2000 years ago. 
 is pretty much how ive described bitcoin 
 Yeah read the whitepaper again  
 At what point in the white paper is it referred to as a gold?

 Ah yes, 

"A store of value" 

"Gold" 

"I don't trust economics I make my own shit up"

Clearly,  and it shows. I'm not going to correct this thinking. 

Go read the whitepaper again,  because you're missing the point.

We don't need digital gold when we have gold already.  


 
 If you don't understand an analogy it's not my problem, you're a troll and you know it. 
 No, I just know what I'm talking, which seems like trolling because you don't understand.

You spew Saylor talking points 
 However use bitcoin as you prefer, neither I am going to convince you nor you are going to convince me, do not waste your time.

Satoshi created bitcoin and made a point of saying it on bitcointalk and in his emails to protect us from monetary devaulation, which is a store of value, and on the other hand he also created it to be uncensored money.

If you don't accept the duality it's not my problem, I use it for both.

If I want to call it digital gold I call it digital gold, because gold was used as a store of value and money.

And here ends this stupidly meaningless discussion of what the white paper says or does not say.  
 When you can define the protocol how you want, change the understanding and underlying structure,  then where is this "trustless" system.

You can't "trust" a protocol that's changed, soft or hard forks to get back to the original protocol? 

Yeah I don't want anything with that.
