being tech based makes its adoption lower than other fiat currencies that are common with non-tech people.

It happens every year, and comes back to normal. LN will increase the value soon.

For bitcoin to be backed by gold, this has to be accepted: total bitcoin supply = total gold supply

171,300,000 KG of gold = 21,000,000 BTC

which will equal almost (8 KG) per (1 Bitcoin)

and to really back it by gold, governments will have accept the exchange of bitcoin for their gold reserves.

"backed" means that if you have (1 unit of currency) be it one dollar, euro, or pound I can exchange it for 1 oz of gold .. now, later or after 10 years and still get that 1 oz or 1 gram of gold.

no currency as far as I know promises that it would pay the equivalent of gold in the future, instead you get the current market price for GBP/GOLD or EUR/GOLD  for a currency to be backed by gold it would be EUR=GOLD

the good news keeps coming, it seems that people are now understanding the tech and value bitcoin brings.

some cabs do accept that, by hanging signs behind the seats for passengers to transfer bitcoins.
