If there are no catastrophic events, the "Internet kill switch" will be a moot issue within three years. There may still be the potential for continental separation, but methods exist for communication even at transoceanic distances without relying on cables or satellites. With geographically diversified mining resources, Bitcoin will be effectively unbreakable at that point.
That is when Bitcoin will start truly eroding gold's position as a monetary asset, after fiat currencies have been proven bettered by crypto.
Now you have brought up an interesting problem: can someone(e.g., superpowerful alphabet agencies) actually manage to exert control on the whole network by manipulating what's being sent through the cables? Maybe when we get all super-rich with bitcoins we need to construct our own submarine fiber systems, secured by quantum cryptography which is resistant to both sabotage and quantum computing. Well that's the thing. He's talking about radio waves. Not sure how manipulable those are. You still have limited range and routers/repeaters. That's where the network is vulnerable to manipulation. Nature has provided us with the ionosphere, radio stations could be built with reasonable(comparable to a mining farm even if you use short-to-medium wavelength) cost and decentralization.

Subdued reaction is good. It an indication of minimal frothiness, i.e., price will continue rising.

high volume on gold spot cfd today. Looks like major accumulation has begun to target $2k and beyond.
Always pays to know how to read a chart. For the noobs... london got in at the low(check the upthrust time) so don't think for a second that american panzies are gonna let london make all the profit. So look for price to slowly stagnate down towards the open of last london open. perfect entry.
