What good would that discovery bring if we can't get the gold anyway? There is really no reason to hate on gold as it is not against bitcoin, and nor is bitcoin against it.
I think the discovery is also necessary, because the discovery is the result of the thinking of scientists who have found something like gold and then they developed to be known among the people as well.
although the bitcoin is higher than gold at the price, but we must still appreciate an invention of others.
