Whereas, the confidence of goldbugs in gold is actually a historic perspective which is probably overconfident. The future of gold as a reliable settlement vehicle is dismal.

If it's so dismal, why can't you name a single counter-example to replace it?

I already did. My perspective is future oriented. Gold's dismal future is baked in regardless of whether a replacement is developed.

Your perspective, as I stated in the post earlier, is trying to convince people that a currency = money when it's not. Anonymintcoin, just like bitcoin, will be a currency and not money. Money is something that can't arbitrarily be changed by some guy on a random whim when he wakes up in the morning, like Luke Jr deciding he wants to alter the blocksize to some strange number, or change the security model to something else entirely. Money can't transform to something completely different at random. That's obviously not fungible or anti-fragile amongst millions of other issues (not that bitcoin is fungible in the first place).

In the grand scheme of things, cryptocurrency is a complete waste of time and just people trying to fool themselves into thinking they can create money when all they're making is currencies. Why is bitcoin not banned? Because the govt loves people wasting their time with currency instead of having actual money. That and the fact that it's designed as a 1984 tracking system by default.
