 I guess that’s where we differ. I think gold is a shitcoin too. Gold shares a lot of the qualities of other shitcoins. Obviously no maximum supply, we can find gold in the ocean and in space. You can’t trade large quantities of it across large distances efficiently. You can’t cross borders with your wealth in it. Its effective use needs a 3rd party. Gold was good at one point in the past on a small scale but it’s not great today.
