    "Gold backed crypto" eliminates most of the trust minimization properties that come from holding directly either gold or crypto. It disempowers users from validating either.https://twitter.com/maxkeiser/status/1153464858714759169 …

    As the biggest Gold bug in #Bitcoin BY FAR I believe I was the first to point out back in 2013 (or sooner) that a Gold backed crypto makes no sense. It doesn’t make the crypto more valuable and it doesn’t obviate the need to verify the Gold. It’s an oxymoron.

        How about some kind of "standardize value system" or "standardizing the exchange ratios for gold, silver, land" or "exchange equivalencies" or "establishing fixed crypto values" for food, clothing, shelter, electricity, etc?

        I beg to differ @maxkeiser. Trust of the quality of the metal is an old problem. Holding it directly may assume an assay everytime it gets exchanged. Blockchain can be used to certify quality and safety all while offering redemption as the ultimate Shit-test. PM @AgAuCrypto

        Response on why not Holding gold bars instead: https://youtu.be/aQcHqs9mkbA  By the way 99% of the planet is unsafe to hold gold because of security or jurisdiction (confiscation) that’s why we do what we do!

        Commercialization of Bitcoin can only occur through asset tokenization. Gresham’s law now applies to $BTC & all software access keys. Gold is the perfect beachhead asset token because of regulatory alignment. If $USDT makes sense, $AGLD makes more sense. You are mortal after all!

        Mr. Szabo, what do you make of India’s Economic Ministry’s recommendation to the Govt. to totally ban all Crypto and severe punishment (upto 10 years) for even holding it? Their official “report” is a literal copy from BlockGeeks and other internet sources with a “ban” slapped on

        Asset-backed tokens have certain useful properties, but trust minimization is not one of them. But there are many situations where that is just fine.

        Agree. But being able to do so 24/7/365 with accompanied digital signatures and zero need for reconciliation between counterparts is useful in certain situations.

        Exactly. “so called “fiat” currency” is in question. Not tethers. This only reinforces cryptocurrency as a better currency than fiat. To go a step further...cryptocurrency is most secure when digitally native and unattached to the physical world. https://twitter.com/dan_pantera/status/1121798196932386816 …

        Not to mention backing one commodity by another is like saying “silver backed gold” - it’s redundant and nonsensical
