      Gold and Bitcoin also hedge against inflation, never pay negative interest, and when held directly are not subject to haircuts and do not depend on strangers keeping their promises.https://twitter.com/Schuldensuehner/status/1158283652733788167 …

      #Gold and #Bitcoin keep surging in tandem amid Risk Off mood and as yields fall around the world. Because neither gold nor Bitcoin pay interest, they become more attractive as low yields make bonds less appealing, BBG‘s Goodman says. pic.twitter.com/QNDjAt9vIm

      It's a long shot, but if good retail assay tech is developed, along with a new form factor (which would resemble jewelry more than coins, point being to optimize for minimum-destruction assayability) silver would be more useful than gold for most transactions of most people.

      Silver’s higher -often seasonal- usage in manufacturing/products vs gold may make silver more prone to market volatility than gold. The increased manufacturing usage also makes silver more correlated with certain sectors. I think that makes silver worse money than gold.

      Bitcoin is better money than both gold and silver as its use case is singular: Bitcoin is money. Bitcoin is arguably not used in manufacturing processes. This lack of utility beyond its purpose should keep bitcoin at low correlation levels to other asset classes and sectors.

      Perhaps. I tend to think such factors are not as important as some economists make them out to be.

      For silver, assayability (and its counterpart, counterfeitability). Industrial revolution counterfeiting tech killed retail use of gold and silver coins.https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/1145207850727178241 …

      Some of the same craft skills & tech that gave us the industrial revolution also made it much easier to counterfeit coins. As fake coins spread, use of bank notes grew. Here's a fake silver dollar made in Birmingham via a technique invented in Sheffield. https://www.coincommunity.com/articles/swamperbob_8_reales_birmingham_counterfeit.asp … pic.twitter.com/Qbx7heTq2p

          Assayability and counterfeitability make sense as factors. Highlights the importance of the ability to verify authenticity in general. Thank you.

          Counterparty to verify is exactly why Gold cannot compete with BTC. When Central Banks have taken delivery of fake Gold, what chance has everyone else. Irrespective of there not being enough Gold on the planet for a tiny tiny coin for each person.

          I’m definitely going to read into this tonight! Very interesting. Already I like the part where even the bills (IOUs) changed over time. Part of the reason I’m an advocate of both metals and bitcoin is that each of them can do things the other can’t.
