Which is why gold is a bad currency.

And as an asset, gold is priced dramatically over it's industrial value, and it's un-productive. People shouldn't invest in shiny pebbles anymore than they should invest in digital magic beans, IMO.

How people decide to invest their money, isn't up to you.

I'm not telling people how to invest their money. That's between them and their financial advisor. I'm opining. I've no vested interest at all. I've no crypto position or gold position.

You're ranting nonsense every time there is a crypto post in an effort to continue the anti-crypto stance on HN. It is tired and I don't mind calling you out on it.

Crypto is here to stay, no amount of what you coin as opining, will make it go away. If anything, you're doing a great job driving people to wonder more about it. When people disagree with something so passionately, it drives other people towards it even more.

I have no problem with that. That's why we have this site, so people can see different viewpoints. They're free to make up their own minds.

I'm not tired, are you :)

It's been 15 years and no value outcome whatsoever. If the crypto community develops something useful, I'll be the first to jump on it. But for now, I'm sure OP will deliver, I just have to wait.
