wow stupid gold comparison. gold is on a whole different level. its like comparing a scion to a lamborghini. at least with gold i have the physical value to back it up

i hate it when people do this. its becoming my new pet peeve. this is COMPLETELY irrelevant to his argument. he was talking about how people have no problem buying 0.1troyounce coins of gold. whether bitcoin is better than gold or vice verca has NOTHING to do with his argument about how fractional denomination doenst prevent people from investing in gold.

as an aside does anyone know if there is a label for this specific form of logical fallacy or rhetorical trick or w/e it is?

Behold the magnificence of this handy cut-out-and-keep-on-your-wall chart!
