You raise a fair point regarding gold's historical tie to its paper currency for redemption purposes. Bitcoin’s design, however, favours an independent unit of account, intended to stabilise value without fiat's constant appraisal.

I know, that's why I fully support not using BTC/USD to determine prices when I spend on Bitcoin.
Bitcoins design absolutely does NOT "stabilize value"
Bitcoins design is to permanently create the maximum amount of deflation as possible.
which is why Bitcoiners hodl and don't spend Bitcoin. They expect the value of everything to fall relative to Bitcoin.
its a design flaw.
