>Just a question, isn't all criticism against bitcoin applicable to gold?

Gold fluctuates a lot less. Its hard to swallow "ok ok bitcoin is useless but it can still be a stable currency/safe asset" when the price is booming and crashing every year.

Fluctuation has to do with volume. (eg, penny stock) In the 1700s the stock market looked a lot like bitcoin.

Bitcoin isn’t useless, it’s useful for storing or transferring Bitcoin in a permissionless way.
