Gold has value everywhere in the world
I can buy and sell gold in any amount with a 15 minute drive and zero questions. It's pretty liquid.

A goldbacked crypto is literally an oxymoron. If you dont hold it you dont own it.

Kitco hates bitcoin and bitcointalk hates gold. Both are stupid positions to take. I hold both and i trust my gold will have value next year a lot more than my bitcoin.
