Crypto, this generation's pyramid scheme. Intrinsic value of all crypto = $0.

In relation to central bank debt note loaned to America by a private corporation? Our dollars are debt notes. Bitcoin backed by gold will run the FED into the ground. Principle I understand brother. There are schemes. But our foundation starting point is Ponzi...lol. The reason why gold and Bitcoin go so high is because the real value of the dollar has last value radically. It is worth 4% of what it was in 1913 when it started with this FED system.

Personally brother I think Bitcoin and Gold will tank the FED. And America pay off its debt. And simply print its own money like a good little country should have a long time ago. But yeah...I would not trust crypto outside of Bitcoin. There certainly is the potential of schemes. Yep. Blessings.

Bitcoin backed by gold?

There is so much hype out there with regards to cryptocurrency and so many trying to make money off it as brokers, etc. There's a level of scammers working that market to be aware of. I'm seeing some of the "hype" in this thread.

One thing that is not hype is Bitcoin is becoming legit. Another is how Chase bank and central banking would not want to promote Bitcoin for so long because it is not something central banking can control. At least in its formal state now. The tide is turning. Bitcoin may crash and take us into the trib. Or Bitcoin may become the beast system controller. But currently we just see that it does have merit. Is a reasonable consideration to the tanking American debt note.

I realize its not pegged to gold. There are some that are. But I am not sure how helpful that is...lol. Its just that there are ways to do it. If there is a way to peg Bitcoin to gold, I think that would be stronger than the hype of the American debt note. Just saying.

Gold-Backed Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies can be pegged to gold in hopes of limiting price fluctuations, and as a hedge against market downturns and inflation.

We don't have to agree. But for years central banking wanted Bitcoin seen as "underground criminal like money." I'm not saying there are not scams. Yes there are. But there is legitimacy to Bitcoin too though. Just saying Blessings.
