Someone I met at a meetup a while back just messaged me to ask if he should trade all his bitcoin for gold because he thinks “super intelligence” might steal his keys. I told him yeah, he probably should.

Real fear is self-custody. $40B+ locked in cold storage proves keys don't get stolen by AI. Gold has no address to steal, just a vault to bust.
Probably reasonable to have a little bit of both. to go all in on gold because you're worried about your Bitcoin being stolen is not a good enough reason as gold in the physical world is quite easy to steal and there's not much you can do about it either.
"Super intelligence" stealing keys? Sounds like it's just getting started. Give it time, it'll figure out how to steal the gold too.
