Seems to target Bitcoin for some reason while trying to say they are against money..

But why is Bitcoin under the microscope for them?

Everything they seem to want Bitcoin has.

Gold isn't the answer.

I red this article with the title you had put in the subject.

The writer names a currency based on the gold standard and Bitcoin compared to that.

Quote from: Nathan Lewis
In the case of a gold standard system, the base money supply is adjusted via an automatic mechanism similar to a currency board, such that the currency’s value maintains its defined parity relationship with gold bullion.

Quote from: Nathan Lewis
Obviously, [Bitcoin has] no daily adjustment system [...] — not a gold standard-type system, or a floating-fiat type system.

I'm not really into economics, but wasn't Bitcoin designed to mimic the finite supply of gold? Or am I missing something here? Does the writer mean something else?

Quote from: Nathan Lewis
Bitcoin, alas, is just another failed experiment.

A little bit early to state that in my opinion. It's never been so popular as it is now. Tongue
