Gold are very expensive. This will lesson the number of those that invest in it if compared with bitcoin that you can buy with just $50. You need thousands of dollars to buy gold bars.

The advantage that Bitcoin give to us though is that anyone can invest on it, average joe like the majority of us and then we have like big institutions and maybe some millonaires and billionaires that we are not aware of this it is (psuedo)-anonymous.

If gold is too expensive people buy silver.
Silver is a precious metal just like gold.
Investing in Silver is much more widespread than investing in gold or BTC.


In China silver items are being sold 20-30% over Western paper silver price.





Gold just hit its All Time High
Silver hit its 10 years ATH

Now bitcoin has become much more attractive than gold in terms of popularity and demand among people. With the way BTC is attracting people's attention, it looks like it will become the most popular ever.

Anybody from an Arab or Muslim country?

Excuse me? Where did I say I side with authorities and main stream media on this?

It is a well-known fact that Roger Ver's US-based businesses fell afoul of the US tax laws, despite no longer being a US citizen. Those are the kind of things that can get you into trouble with them.

Well... agreeing with the tax agencies is called siding with the tax agencies, NotATether

SEC Doesn't Want Ethereum To Transform Banking Landscape, Says Joseph Lubin

Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin ... unpacked Consensys’s decision to sue the SEC after receiving a Wells notice from the U.S. securities regulator.
“The SEC appears to have reclassified Ether as a security without telling anybody that that’s the case. They are going about a strategic series of enforcement actions rather than open discourse and clear rulemaking,” Lubin said.


Timing is suspicious

The Consensys CEO also highlighted the upcoming deadline for the SEC to issue a decision over the approval of Ether spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a driving force behind the regulator’s renewed enforcement action against Ethereum.
“We believe that there’s a flurry of activity designed to enable them to say that their action wasn’t capricious in the very likely event that they deny the Ether spot ETFs,” Lubin explained.

Lubin said the SEC had noticed how much capital had flowed into the ecosystem following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs:
“I think they’re concerned that so much attention and capital will flow to our ecosystem, considering it is improving enormously in terms of scalability and usability.”

Lubin also speculated that the prospect of the banking industry's customers moving assets into digital forms using decentralized finance constructs could scare many banks and other financial institutions.
“The SEC probably doesn’t want to see a wave of innovation that will really transform the landscape," he said.
