Do you not know anything about gold? It can be verified, many methods that nearly anyone can do. As for divisibilty, fractionals, Goldbacks, or just cut ounces in pieces. Its not rocket science. Its been money for thoudands and thousands of years. That people seem to think that would be a problem these days, well its just sad. Anyone with a brain will accept gold. No 'infrastructure' needed. Unlike btc or any other crypto that requires literal infrastructure. But, you do you. I'll be fine with my physical money AND digital money.

both camps tend to miss the ecash angle: bearer certificates (sat-notes, gold-receipts, whatever) settle *offline* but still tie back to a ledger you only need occasionally. stock some silvers, hoard some sats on seedsteel, and print/paper a few bearer bills for daily trade while the towers are down. hedge > maxi.
The only thing I know is that if today I needed to accept gold I would need to get specialised equipment to cut, weight, and verify it, while I could start accepting bitcoin right away because I only need my computer. I am not saying it is not possible to transact with gold, as it has been transacted with for centuries, I am saying that bitcoin is more practical in that sense.
