Gold is an insurance against crisis. Goldbugs are basically preppers, who will be vindicated by disaster, when their insurance pays off. It's like saying "I told you you need this underground bunker, see, there's war above ground now." When there's no war, the bunker is less useful (although it makes great family parties). I like and own gold, in a small proportion, because the crisis will come. But I own Bitcoin, because it does not need to wait for a crisis. You can use it today, for many things. Building a new future is much more pleasant than calling for disaster. Building new things that were not possible before is what makes Bitcoin beautiful. I can wait like an old grumpy guy for a disaster. And even though it will probably come during our lifetimes, I want to live now. This is by the way the reason I like cryptoanarchy as well. All other political philosophies and strategies are waiting for the word to change (usually turn to shit, but sometimes it waits for enlightenment of humanity after said shit passes and they will build on ashes of the fallen civilization). Cryptoanarchy is for today. You can live it now. You don't need to wait for anyone. Cryptoanarchy is for the young mind, to empower those that choose this way. Today.
