"Bitcoiners don't waste time demonizing gold. It's the perfect PoC for PoW sound money in a crisis-ridden debt-drenched world. Instead study gold's history--how and why it became a central component of central bank balance sheets--and demonstrate how BTC fulfills and advances upon those very same functions"

"The general public doesnt understand Bitcoins value proposition but neither do they understand why conventional wisdom dictates not to save in fiat. While they are aware that it is both absurd to have one million dollars sitting in cash in a brokerage account and better to invest in financialized/monetized assets e.g. stocks bonds real estate collectibles etc. they dont know why this is the case. If they understood the latter (why conventional wisdom dictates not to save in fiat) they might be one step closer to understanding the former (Bitcoin's unique value proposition)"

"The Rise of the US Gold Standard: The U.S. Coinage Act of 1792 established the dollar as the national currency backed by gold and silver (a bimetallic standard). The Treasury held these metals as reserves which both backed and were convertible into the currency. This ensured the monetary base was anchored to or collateralized by physical assets. During the Civil War the US suspended this convertibility causing inflation and a volatile exchange rate with gold. The Resumption Act of 1875 restored gold convertibility at prewar parity leading to the Gold Standard Act of 1900 which made gold the"

"For those wanting a quick macro primer on why gold is melting up lets unpack it from two primary vectors: BRICS de-dollarization and re-collateralization. Before doing so a bit of context: For those living under a pet rock for the past two years gold has been on a tear since early 2024 more than doubling in a year and a half. When gold moves this impulsively and sustainedly its signaling at least two things: 1) a flight to safety 2) geo-political monetary shifts and 3) the involvement of large institutions. China is openly stacking gold for its reserves and theres chatter the US might"

Now let us cover the historical context of the USs current fiscal and monetary situation before exploring X potential US counter-offensives which we simply list here: 1) Re-collateralizing the US monetary base with gold alone (which on our view seems unlikely as this would be a concession to Xis strategy) 2) Adopting a BTC-only system (also unlikely given"
