Not sure what you're getting at but my point still stands...

Gold as an investment -- you have lost a lot of purchasing power investing in Gold... don't take my word for it, look at the data and performance returns, that's my point. So your stored wealth has lost it's 'wealth' over time, it's an objective view. As the USD debases over time due to inflation (the Fed numbers are bs btw) your wealth has decline in purchasing power. You would've made more with real estate, stocks. Remember that you're denominating Gold's value in USD.

Apples to apples -- Gov can freeze your gold account at a 3rd party custodian - if you won paper gold, or store physical metal in someone else's vault. Same with any custodial crypto wallet, or your Bank account.

The point is to self-custody, meaning you hold your own gold, physically... likewise with Bitcoin, you move it to Cold Storage, where you and only you own the private key.

You need to do your own research on cryptos, and not follow the herd/hype. I could say the same about the usual scumbags pumping Gold and precious metals.

Seems like your outlook of the future is total anarchy, where we will fall back into some barter society where golds is the only thing people want to use as a medium of exchange :)

Q did state not to worry no?

C'mon man!
