Wow, these gold bugs really hate Cryptocurrency with a passion. I was a gold bug myself years ago. I would visit a gold site called kitco and read all the threads about metals and a return to a gold standard. It was there, on the kitco site, that I first heard of bitcoin. Being young and only slightly invested in metals , I found it easy to switch to bitcoin. I’d imagine if I had been older and more heavily invested in gold, I’d most likely been jealous and hostile toward something that could threaten my investment like bitcoin.
Anyway I stumbled onto the site recently, and was surprised to find a Cryptocurrency section. Then I read a few of the threads.the section clearly isn’t there to educate or inform anyone about Cryptocurrency. It’s just a lot of fud. Nearly every post is about something negative. I thought gold and cryptocurrency people had more in common. I am still into metals, though if I have any extra funds , every single penny goes to crypto, not wasting it on metals anymore. Crypto is the future.
I'm a metal rather than a crypto person, but I share the disgust for some gold bugs forums. Talking about gold-backed stablecoins, you would think to find some interest among them. The climax of their argumentative level reduce itself to the classic If you don't touch it you don't own it. They keep repeating it like zombies |

It's been a decade since Bitcoin emerged as a decentralized digital currency for the people. While it's no secret that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrrencies have some drawbacks, they're still a great alternative to Fiat when it comes to making payments without a centralized entity in charge of our funds. With latest advancements such as DAGs, smart contracts, Layer-Two scaling solutions, Dandelion Protocol, Zero Knowledge Proofs, and more, it's becoming more evident that crypto will someday replace traditional payment processors like PayPal, Apple Pay, and Android Pay. Yet, Blockchain technology is still struggling with user adoption and regulatory compliance. Nonetheless, do you believe that there's hope for Bitcoin to beat traditional payment processors or will those same payment processors adapt to the Blockchain in the future?  Adoption. All we need is the receiver to accept directly bitcoin Correct, adoption is the keyword, but why, after 10 years, adoption of btc as a means of payment is as good as zero, both at retail as much as at institutional level? |

Bitcoin acceptability is very high and it is increasing day by day.
I don't know of any restaurants, grocery stores, clothes shops etc... in my city, accepting btc. Institutions don't accept btc either as payment method. Probably I misunderstand what you mean by acceptability. |

You have compared btc with physical gold.
How about comparing btc with a gold-backed stablecoin?

Kinesis è un progetto che verrà lanciato il primo luglio 2019.
Si tratta di Stablecoins coperti da metalli preziosi.
Verranno lanciate due valute
Un KAU corrisponde a 1 grammo d'oro
Un KAG corrisponde a 1 oncia (31 grammi) di argento
Ovviamente potranno essere utilizzate frazioni di Kaus e Kags.
Una caratteristica del sistema Kinesis é la rendita che viene offerta a coloro che partecipano nel sistema.
Tale rendita viene finanziata dalle commissioni create dalle transazioni delle valute kinesis.
Per la prima volta nella storia, investire in oro offrirá una rendita.
Purtroppo letteratura in italiano su questo progetto non se ne trova.

Kinesis plans to bring together precious metals investors, users, wholesalers, producers, along with crypto users and anyone else who would like to participate in a completely new alternative monetary system.
I think they also have some bidding or auction details about those precious metals they will going to acquire. ABX provides this facility to enable suppliers to act as Liquidity Providers and access our exchange directly and sell metal at the “Offer” price. Currently, producers must sell to an intermediary and hit their “Bid”, which decreases their revenues materially. That's interesting. Only insiders know about the constraints producers are subject to |

This is the first time that allocated gold ownership has delivered this kind of non-debt-based yield, so Kinesis have a lot of interest from the $15trillion gold trading industry.
"Gold gives no yield" won't be true any longer! |

Kinesis Money ist ein evolutionäres Geldsystem, das die realen Vermögenswerte von Gold und Silber als Basis für digitale Währungen verwendet. Diese Währungen bieten eine 1:1-Zuordnung von physischem Edelmetall, wobei die Transaktionsgebühren jeweils beim Versenden, Ausgeben oder Handeln der Währungen anfallen und dann proportional als umlaufbasierte Rendite auf die Kinesis-Währungs- und Token-Inhaber umverteilt werden, was zu einem Nutzungsanreiz führt. Angesichts der jüngsten Entwicklungen, die Fragen zur Tauglichkeit von auf USD und Bargeld-basierenden stabilen Währungen aufwerfen, ist dies möglicherweise der ideale Zeitpunkt für die Einführung einer auf Gold basierenden stabilen Währung. Eine, die von einem institutionell und wirtschaftlich verantwortungsbewussten Unternehmen geführt wird. Kinesis revolutioniert die Edelmetallindustrie, indem sie nicht nur Gebühren für die Lagerung von physischen Gold- und Silberbarren abschafft, sondern den Eigentümern ein facettenreiches Gebührenbeteiligungsmodell bietet, das den Eigentümern der Gold- und Silberbarren mittels dieser Rendite mehr Wert bringt. https://www.presseportal.de/pm/132025/4258960Ich freue mich auf die Diskussion  |
