Bitcoin, on the other hand, is great on the 'exchange' side of the spectrum, but I (seemingly alone) do not consider it a good 'reserve' currency. Marry the two (or at least get them being regular fuck-buddies) and one has a very robust solution which would be relatively cumbersome for attackers to meddle with.
why do u think it wouldn't fx well as a reserve currency? nightly settlements btwn nations could occur in an instant unlike gold and no centralized warehouses for bullion would be needed.
Gold is the ultimate store of value and has been since the dawn of civilization. That's not going to change any time soon.
But I don't see any reason why, under the right conditions, bitcoin could not function as a reserve currency.
It wouldn't diminish gold's status at all. Both are decentralized and debt-free, so they complement each other quite well.
