Posted on 11/07/2023 6:12:21 AM PST by Enlightened1

This chart tracks Gold vs Bitcoin performance from a $1 investment on 6 Oct 2009 when Bitcoin first had a market price.

To sum up the above it compares if you invest $1 in Bitcoin when it first came out and $1 in gold. What your value would be worth on Oct 5th, 2023?

In Bitcoin it would be 26.8 million while in gold it would be worth $1.81.

Today Nov 7th Bitcoin would be 38.5 million. While gold would be $1.94. You can see it in the link at the top of the chart.

Yeah, but bitcoin can disappear tomorrow. Nobody knows the real reason it was created, regardless of the reason they tell us for its creation.

The government could shut down or over regulate Bitcoin any time it wants. Thanks but I’ll stick with gold & silver which I consider the safer bet.

“In Bitcoin it would be 26.8 million while in gold it would be worth $1.81.”

Assuming you didn’t lose your Bitcoin when Mt Gox was hacked.

I bought my first bitcoins in May 2013. For $88.

I still have the first ones I bought. People will debate if they are an “investment” or even real. I am not going to argue with anyone about that.

What I do know is that I am debt free with a new truck. All because of this “imaginary” investment.

Bitcoin just released its first “physical” version of the coin. It’s selling at auction. Ironic. Isn’t it?

The same thing that happens to the majority of the global money supply.

Well, EMPs are not going to take out the world.

An EMP would mean someone set off a nuke over this country. My guess is we would have bigger fish to fry. And, a bucket full of gold isn’t goi g to help much either.

EMP is very limited. It would only affect the miners in the EMP area.

It would not stop Bitcoin.

The only way to stop Bitcoin is to turnoff the entire Internet, and I don’t think that is happening.

I cash some out every year. There isn’t a problem at all.

I pay my taxes and move on with my life.

“Bitcoin” isn’t an organization. Whomever is selling a physical “coin” is just another in a long list of people trying to make a buck.

If the government could have shut down Bitcoin, then would have already done it.

They can’t because it’s world wide. One country cannot shut it down.

Furthermore, as long as you have internet access, then you can access Bitcoin. You
