May the new gold be as successful as the old one!

Strawman much?
First off, I originally specifically said "Gold's monetary utility is also easily replaceable.", already taking into account that gold has other utility than just the monetary one.
Secondly, I was talking about the concept of intrinsic value in general.

Firstly, I said that bitcoin would be far worse to use as gold as an monetary asset, because it has no intrinsic value, and that creates more instability. Now when you are telling that intrinsic value doesn't exist, then you are either trolling me or just confused
Intrinsic value is based on the important needs of society. Electronics is a very important need in today's society. Telling that intrinsic value of gold is bullshit, is saying that we could very well live without electronics. Yeah you could. There are plenty of people living like that in PNG, go visit them and see how well their economy is doing Please don't try to provoke needless arguments with me. While talking with markj113, I really felt good that I'm talking to someone who isn't a religious fiend. Please don't ruin this experience for me
Bad intentions bring out the worse in me This shows the power of gold as a monetary asset.
This is my Double gold Doubloon from Spain's King Phillip II's rein in the 1500's.
It still has purchase power 500 years later due the gold content.

We don't need to read the charts to know when to buy the dip because Bittard shows up with diarrhea of the fingers every time!

you guys should edit the images with width=100 if you are going to quote each other back and forth
You are right, sorry. Fixed. May 24, 2018, 12:45:33 PM
Gold isn't a very good monetary asset, since it's market is speculative and that makes it unstable. But bitcoin would be far worse, because unlike gold, it has virtually 0% intrinsic value. Stability is what the monetary system needs, because that is very important to develop the economy.
I think "intrinsic value" is bullshit. 
Value is always subjective. (see "a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse").
So, you actually can't comprehend that gold has irreplaceable value in electronics?

I think "intrinsic value" is bullshit. No he's 100% right. Every school of economic thought other than Marxists, who still cling to the nutty labor theory of value, have given up non subjective theories of value. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_theory_of_value

I think "intrinsic value" is bullshit. Also, gold is impractical as a means of exchange, which hinders its "stickyness" and price stability.
If bitcoin scales well and has increased adoption, it would become more stable.

Everything is green dildo exept BTC and ethrium ...

I'm not a big fan of investing into precious metals with highly speculative markets, but BTC vs gold, I would choose gold. Bitcoin may be limited, but it is also easily replaceable. This makes it's value far more fragile.
With PoW vs PoS, the environment isn't an issue, but the cost of production is an issue. It's all about the numbers, talks about the environment is just for PR.
Gold's monetary utility is also easily replaceable... with bitcoin. We might see that play out over the next decades.With PoW vs PoS, the environment isn't an issue, but the cost of production is an issue. It's all about the numbers, talks about the environment is just for PR.

Can we go up now like crossing $20k and more
I'm still kicking myself for not selling off the rest of the coin I have loaded on the exchange when it last bounced off $11,500.

Gold has no future because of the upcoming power abundance. Right now it is extremely inefficient to make gold which can be done but to produce 1 gram it would cost you a million dollars so digging it up is far more economical.
Bitcoin is limited does not matter how much free, very cheap power you have you cant produce more only push up the hash-rate to astronomical levels. Free or extremely cheap power you still need a unit of measurement to contact business. And the other thing prof of stake or any of the other stuff the carpet is ripped right out under there feed if power or environment is not an issue.
Trust me its on the way and or in place.

Your so full of shit.
By your own figures (which are inaccurate) power costs would have to reduce 99.96% just to break even on buying a mined, fully refined 1g gold.
And that doesnt even include the building and running costs of the new power plants then the nuclear reactors or particle accelerators required to produce the tiny amounts of gold.

They do have too much power in their dev team who operates like a company and it will bite them but it could possibly make it easy for governments acceptance.
But... what if technology can't fundamentally support that "too much power" stuff ?
That's what we're starting to see with mETH, and the mETH-heads are too busy getting high on gas to see the forest through the trees.
The forest be burning, yo.
The big issue they're missing is Bitcoin miners are essentially building tons of infrastructure for these hydroelectric, geothermic areas and of course love solar and wind but fuck that logic.

My respects to anyone whose work is about creating real value and developing the economy. Then you must also see this (crypto) as a fun game and not take things overly serious
Goes against the grain here but I have always said for me personally I use crypto for short term gains then plough the profits into gold for the mid to long term.
In the future I see crypto being banned with state issued and controlled crypto being the legal alternative.
Most will disagree but no one has a crytal ball and time will tell.
