Back on-topic, the gold narrative is interesting, especially in the light of BTC overtaking silver as a SoV.
Silver is the most downwardly manipulated, financially indexed product in the ENTIRE WORLD. It's price is manipulated by the LBMA/Comex/BIS/ESF cartel. There is no actual price discovery mechanism at all because the price is manipulated by a single entity. Instead of silver being 'bad' as you claim, all you've discovered is that silver is the largest
inverse bubble on the planet while everything else is in an artificially high bubble.
The price of bitcoin is also controlled solely by a single entity that mainly operates on Bitfinex, except bitcoin is artificially rigged upwards. Who buys something artificially rigged upwards into a bubble? Morons. The goal of investing is to buy low, sell high, not buy someone else's artifical pump. Yea, you can make money attempting to ride other people's pump and dumps, but you can also lose everything, and don't pretend bitcoin is anything except that when it's obvious to anyone who isn't stupid that the price is controlled by a single entity on Bitfinex since it was $200.
I've put together some research about 'fundamentals' for gold/BTC (there aren't any)
What a complete dumbass. Transaction validators are designed to centralize in every single craptocurrency = they have ZERO fundamentals because it's supposed to derive value from some sort of Nash equilibrium aka decentralization. Any non-fungible token is also going to be a permissioned ledger by default without even factoring the above in. Shitcoins also have built-in, rent seeking middlemen and don't remove counterparty risk. You have a pile of toxic waste while claiming it has fundamentals. It doesn't qualify as 'money' under any circumstance, only as a currency because just about anything can be a currency. All currencies go to zero. They are not 'investments'.
Just like every currency ever created, the value of bitcoin started at zero and it's 100% guaranteed to return there again. It's only a question of how long of timespan between point A and B. This means you're inherently pushing a Ponzi or pump and dump by promoting it. Plato was wrong and Aristotle was right. To not be a Ponzi or scam of some type, money has to be an actual non-perishable, physical commodity. You people are either just flat out stupid in any form of real economics, or 100% chronic, psychopathic liars. There is no other explanation.
