Yeah, gold rose like 2% today but that's likely just random market fluctuations, and I think that gain is going to be lost within a week. Meanwhile, compare bitcoin's price history in the past 7 years to gold's price history. Which would you rather have owned, honestly?
I think the main problem with gold is you really can't calculate, know, see how much of it is in circulation, unlike bitcoin.
I believe they are taming gold with these ETF's, future markets and shit by shorting. They don't want people to do gold rushes. Even if they do, CB's will just manipulate the prices so people will get fucked.
Yes. Central Banks are fucking gold hodlers right now.
They are trying to do the same thing to bitcoin but unlike gold we all can see how many bitcoins are in circlation and who got them. That's a big problem. For them.
They'll be able to short bitcoin for a time but then there will be a time where they won't be finding any sellers. They won't be able short it at some point.
Think it this way, would you buy bitcoins if it was $1k now? Yes? Maybe 3 pieces?
How many would you buy if it was $100/piece? 10?
What if they were able to successfully short bitcoin to $1? You would fucking buy 1000 or maybe 10k. Now think about that there are hundreds, thousands of people like you.
As long as there are people who believe in bitcoin, those shorters will get fucked. This is a certainty.
