Gold was the soundest money before Bitcoin, but it leaves the opportunity for obfuscation that led to fiat in the first place. Let's not be delusional, governments that are already tied in to the central banking cartel, even if opposed to the USD, will prefer fiat over Bitcoin.

This does not speak for individuals, only for those that directly benefit from the cartel. View quoted note →
