"No central bank, or anyone, can create bitcoins past the 21 million limit."

Oh yes we can.  Bitcoingold, Bitcoinsilver.  We can fork this stuff till hell freezes over and that is a big hole in the system.


"As time goes on, the Fed will want to create more dollars.  (As it always has.)"

And so will the scammers who are taking over bitcoin and inflating the supply with these bogus forks.


"So, I'm still thinking that gold and silver, whose scarcity is secured by physics, rather than computer code, are the superior forms of money for improving our freedom from governments and bankers."

Right you are,   after thousand of years gold/sliver/copper are still holding value and bitcoin (AKA compute code) is already being corrupted and manipulated into being just another fiat.   It's looking like it was too good to be true after all.
