It's more about being able to send money w/o using a custodian or third party. The cost to transport gold is far far higher. Fiat can be clawed back or amended centrally. Missing the point of how and why bitcoin is cheaper.

I am, because it is, in fact, not cheaper

Very few people in a position to send or receive $1 million share your hilarious paranoia about the government seizing it from you, and the ones for whom that paranoia is justified and Bitcoin has a genuine use case are not people who have my sympathy

For people who are *not* transferring large amounts of cash directly linked to criminal activities, the risk of direct governmental action against you is not nearly high enough to justify the quite *enormous* transaction fees associated with transferring Bitcoin

"L2" is a word you can apply to anything, like "fairy dust" Theranos blood tests may not actually work in L1 but wait until they hit L2

What a wild ride. If I understand the position correctly: Bitcoin can be used to buy pizza better than ever but isn't a currency and cash doesn't matter because it's FIAT nonsense unlike Bitcoin which is backed by unrecoverable energy. I don't know about you but I'm convinced.

Bitcoin is inherently counterintuitive. And i thought exactly like you. We hear many stupid ideas in our lifetimes but, there are these few times where we eventually realise the stupidity was on us. https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Maybe try out sources without bias who do not want to sell you (on) Bitcoin? Maybe? They MIGHT have an agenda. Just sayin'.
