Im tired of hearing in the normal world (outside our BTC world) so many idiots talking and repeating like parlors "the best investment is always gold, you never lose value".
Lets analize this phrase a little because if some of this people start to at least understand what they are saying first can come to a good conclusion.
First of all in the same phrase you can find the answer and the contradiction, if is the best investment how it can never lose his value? Or better to point out, if he never lose value is that is not a investment itself it only not lose value, and that makes it a reserve of value nothing more. They are confused between the nominal price against FIAT money, but its not worth more its only not losing his value.
Some fools never understand a pretty basic concept, the money is to BUY goods and Services, so no matter the equivalence against another coin or FIAT that is only for an easy accountabilitie but the main fact is how much good and services you can buy with the same at determinate time, more or less?.
In change of gold, BTC not only is a reserve of value is it a proper investment and he keeps gaining value not only because of his deflacionary idea, but also because against an equivalence FIAT or good and service you are gonna be buying and having more of that with the same amount of BTC.
IF you take gold and adjust it with the inflation you are gonna see it, you gain nothing at all. But if instead of gold you buy BTC and you adjust it by inflation.... well surprise surprise look how much more did you have.
