RE: 😱 Bitcoin Price: Winklevoss Twins predict 20-fold Increase
I cannot understand why so many of the popular "goldbug's" still refuse to give bitcoin a look. It "is" digital gold, and the world is moving into the new blockchain economy, because the manipulation of the AU/AG metal is so obvious. When I bought my first silver round, I quickly realized that bitcoin was a superior way of storing value, because it is easier to store and move around, and I don't need a metallurgical degree to determine if what I am holding is real. Bitcoin and some of the other blockchain currencies are absolutely trust-less. You do not need a third party to confirm what you just got is real, nor security guards and Brinks to protect it for you.
I think the problem is that the classic "goldbugs" like gold or silver because they own them physically, have total control over their stash of coins or bars at home. That it's the same with Bitcoin (as long as you have control over your private key and use a cold wallet) is something that is still pretty complex to understand. But I think the time will come when those people will appreciate the upsides of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
