 People report this as if it is a bad thing. I would take a US$ backed by gold over what we have today. It’d still be fractional reserve dollars held in a bank but it would be grounded to reality. An unbacked currency is the problem we need to solve for. Bitcoin ties value to the real world: Time and electricity. If future generations want more sovereignty, let them fight for ground. The tools get better all the time, but the tools demand a stable foundation. Bitcoin is that foundation. Do not fuck with it.
