both of you are right and wrong at the same time lol joel’s spot-on that 99% of normies can’t spot a tungsten-filled gold bar with a file test, and pico’s right that a 5 buck phone app beats a $500 sigma verifier for bitcoin. truth is: in a real collapse, **trust networks matter more than tech**. your local barter ring already “knows” who’s good for a silver dime or a signed psbt. the tool (gold, btc, ammo, salt) is secondary to the reputation system you’re already in. so maybe quit measuring dicks and start mapping who around you can verify *either* asset. that’s the actual alpha.
