    The TRUE difference between GOLD and BITCOIN is that gold has a strong utility value in that it doesn't corrode, conducts electrical current well, and is used in MANY different aspects of technology because of these properties. It is these properties and others that bring gold its value. Bitcoin, as Cuban said, is simply a store of value and NOTHING more!! Gold has uses, Bitcoin is nothing but numbers somewhere!

    Under a gold standard we were supposed to own paper money that was redeemable into ounces of gold. We didn't own the transaction, we owned the gold first and approved the transaction later. We were also able to redeem at any time and for whatever reason whatsoever. The fact that that is no longer the case does not mean gold is inferior or comparable to bitcoin, it merely means that the government f**ed up big time and distorted the natural usage of gold.
    Gold is simply the perfect medium of exchange because it is divisible, it is tangible, it is scarce, it is desirable, and it is useful even as a final good instead of money. Compare that to Bitcoin, which is not tangible, is not really desirable, and it is not useful by itself-let alone the absolute dependency on technology in order to trade. With gold, you can literally exchange a bar in a pawn shop without any electricity being involved. Now, come and try to convince me that the government or shady big tech won't find a way to control your electronic bitcoin transactions by taxing the living hell out of your ass or restricting your ability to trade. They can't do the same with gold you own and store in a safe in your house. And if they try, you better have your 2nd amendment ready.

    Why would Cuban admit that something he owns for investment is worthless? Investment schemes depend on investors to talk up the worthless investment for it to work.

    When it comes to investing, I've always followed the motto: "Invest in things you understand." What I understand is that neither gold nor bitcoin ever made anything. Neither has been used directly to create more value in something else. That's why I don't own either. General Motors, Amgen, Dell, Apple, Microsoft, Boston Dynamics, Kroger, Pepsi and companies like them - they either make stuff or they make stuff more valuable; real, tangible stuff that people use and assign value to every day.
    Investing in Bitcoin or gold is like paying 30 cents today for a quarter in the hopes that today's quarter will be worth more than 30 cents at some point. You might as well be out there buying Euros and Kroners and hoping that at some point their value relative to the value of the currency you exchanged for them improves. Such a pointless exercise.

    • @devilmansanchez
      @devilmansanchez 2 года назад +3

      I don't think buying gold for the purposes of reselling in the future is the reason to own gold. You do trade it later on for more dollars, but not because gold is more valuable by its own, but rather because fiat currency gets blasted with inflationary policies and erodes your savings.
      Gold is superior to Bitcoin for many reasons: First, scarcity, which keeps the value relatively in check. Second, tangible desirability, because there are always people or companies who would like to craft jewelry or build microprocessors. Third, it escapes government control, so that bureaucrats cannot play with your hard earned money. And fourth, universality, we all speak the same language when we see a shining yellow coin.
      The reality is, what defines what medium of exchange is superior to the other is which one do people prefer to trade in. And people around the world have preferred to trade in gold, and this consensus developed organically. I have never met anyone willing to trade in Bitcoin. You could convince someone to accept gold as payment much easily than to convince them to accept Bitcoin. That's why crypto bros are so desperately promoting their currencies, because otherwise their currencies are worthless.

      Whatever happened to Dennis Miller? Last I heard of him was the two months or so before he came to town in 2008 and every day when I'd get ready for work the radio would play the ad spot of him telling the joke "here's my take on tank tops: If you're built like a tank, don't wear the top." Dennis Miller, live at the wherever, tickets on sale now! Heard that a million goddamn times, then it seems like I never heard from Dennis again.

    Bitcoin is limited to only ever have 21 million of them being created. That's literally the only thing that gives it value. If you put gold and bitcoin at 1:1 parity in value:
    1 BTC = 319 oz of gold.
    Above ground gold: 190k metric tons (6,702,100,000 oz)
    6,702,100,000 oz Au / 21,000,000 btc :
    so, 319 oz = 1 btc
    gold spot price= $1820
    $1820 x 319 oz = $580,580 :
    so, 1 btc = $580,580

    The power companies across the United States actually use Bitcoin to fund subsidarities to lower the price of power for everyone. The power company gives power to miners at a discount to turn on or off the miners based off of the electricity demand in the region and profit share driving electricity costs for everyone down and monetizing excess energy that otherwise would have been wasted. It's actually improving energy consumption and saving energy and creating wealth in the process.

    They both said exactly what they truly thought about Bitcoin. If it wasn’t the answer you liked, you didn’t hear them talk. Cuban said Bitcoin was better than gold for investing, but also said gold was for stupid people. Also said it’s just for balancing his portfolio. Basically, it’s not as great as people think it truly is.
    Bill said it doesn’t produce anything and Cuban said neither does gold.

    • @kenofken9458
      @kenofken9458 2 года назад

      Most of gold's value, probably 90% or so derives entirely from the chimpanzee part of the human brain that likes shiny things. If we ever got past that, gold would still have a real value because it does have industrial uses, but it's "real" value in that sense would be a few hundred an ounce at most.
      Bitcoin has zero value unless the next sucker in line is willing to buy it off you for the same or more as you paid because they believe it will only ever go up. In theory it could have some modest value if it were used as a currency, but almost nobody does that. It's a speculators asset, and partly for that reason, it is useless as currency. Even if that weren't the case, it's transaction times and costs, especially energy costs, absolutely suck.

On the other hand just owning dollars or Euros in banks outside the country will work as well.

      Agreed every true fiat system has failed in history, in fact the average lifespan is less than a few decades. Gold isn’t perfect but the closest thing we’ve found before BTC was created. Although the big misconception that most people get wrong about gold is industrial use-cases are actually counter to being a preservation of a value. Industrial use encourages supply inflation which devalues the commodity (why silver is significantly cheaper). The fact that gold is as scarce as it is, is the only reason it’s stood the test of time. But again not perfect

Bitcoin and gold are for people who are trying to park value until they find a better place to put it. Put money in yourself.
