and don't you try and talk your way out of anything either adam, every time you touch the keyboard your error and ignorance only increases. You're like one of those spots a dog excretes on the side of a car

Now don't be nasty adam, I wasn't saying anything that isn't common knowledge. You know nothing about gold other than what you've seen on the TV and we don't need that drivel here.

It would be so nice to go too a forum where people actually used their brains instead of regurgitating marketing spiels on every subject.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('careinke', '
')Peace. P.S. I do appreciate gold; I believe it’s the second most sound form of money out there, which is why we own quite a bit—but in the form of jewelry. The challenge with gold lies in its dependence on human involvement in transactions, which can be imperfect. BTC, on the other hand, operates through mathematical algorithms, enabling faster final settlements without a central authority.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AdamB', 'A')nd if memory serves, I once asked you how I could have performed my last motorcycle sale using BTC, and you referred me to a book or paper on the subject.

In the case of the motorcycle, I can at least see HOW I could take a Kruggerand, slice off some chunk of it, and hand it to someone. But having no bitcoin account, if I did, is it like sending someone money using Zelle or something like that? I HOPE that the buyer has a BTC account, he HOPES I have one as well, and I send his email/phone number some bitcoin?

[theluckycountry]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AgentR11', '
')There aren't "BTC accounts". There are wallets and addresses. You create the wallet yourself out of a string of random words that you choose. For non-interesting amounts, you can do this with a phone app. Once you have a wallet, the seller can create a send-to-me address; you (owning bitcoin on your phone), can scan a QR code generated by the seller that has the info of that send-to-me address, and SEND SOME BITCOIN to it. That SEND command gets munched up into the ether, and will (usually) clear via so-called "miners" in some non-trivial amount of time. When it clears it registers in the sellers wallet, less a modest processing fee that the miners keep. Keep in mind, this is NOT a zero timespan activity.

It *DOES* work. I have used it. It is an absolute, royal pain in the butt to account for properly, as the transaction is a capital gain/loss that you have to record at the time you execute the SEND command, and then report at the end of the year on your taxes. No where near worth the trouble to buy a pizza with. I could see buying or selling a motorcycle or high end desktop computer, or even real estate or gold... maybe.

A funny side note... So while I have other stuff as a store of value, I have little interest in saving up bitcoin. I have no confidence that the events that would cause me to want to spend the bitcoin, would nicely align with events keeping bitcoin value high.

Gold Soars $145 in 48 hours as China Takes Charge
Don't listen to any of this nonsense, a couple of days ago they were blaming China for the big retraction in price. These commentators have to justify their desks so they come up with dribble like this all the time. It reminds of the oil price commentary where they'd blame an oil shock on a tanker sinking or a minor outbreak of war somewhere obscure. The reason Gold's been going higher is because it's a Tier one monetary asset and it faithfully tracks inflation in the US dollar and other currencies. Half the world has been buying it for when the US dollar system falters for this very reason.

I just noticed you did not reply to this post, good thinking, avoid the embarrassment.

This was a big part of your problem.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')American exceptionalism is a real thing. We the People of the United States should be proud of our heritage. That recognition does not justify American supremacism, however. Nor does it mean our safety, security, or sovereignty depends on what other countries do and believe.

The United States embraced some humiliating defeats not just on September 11, 2001, but in the waning year of the George W. Bush administration, when risky financing and overextended loans inflated housing prices and unleashed the Great Recession.

Instead of taking stock of where we were wrong, we went with a false messiah, Barack Obama, who chimed, “We are the change we have been waiting for.” But we were the ones who caused our own downfall. How could we make changes if we did not change?

From this self-righteous refusal to own our failures came the Occupy Movement, Black Lives Matter, and the re-radicalization of race. Obama long harbored bitter disgust for the United States, and he seduced the American public. Under the Obama Administration, humility was minimized and disparaged, for sure. One of the most repeated words in the 44th president’s speeches was “I.” It was all about him, and to hell with America.

And the country was humbled for the worse. Obama called us all racist and insisted that we needed the government to run our healthcare. He exhorted us to flood our country with “undocumented immigrants” so that we could pay back for all the wrongs that American imperialism had caused. America fell into decline.

America’s further humbling came under bumbling Joe Biden. Defined by Biden-Harris’ arrogant incompetence, suffused with dementia and DEI, America became weaker, worn out, and adrift, all while witnessing the left’s culmination of all their wishes. Obama got his third term.

You voted for him didn't you adam, as did inke, and plant. Where's plant nowdays? Off sulking about the the failure of his brave little ukrainan dream no doubt. Biden failed him. No doubt he'll crawl back in a month or so with some tall tale about a trip to Bern or Dubai. He's watched too many James Bond movies. Just like you watched too many john Wayne movies I suspect. Was he your role model? No, it would be Rock Hudson Took one too many up the tailpipe
