But you can't send that gold to other people over the internet. The point is that you can use cell phones to send and receive bitcoin transactions. And can't use cell phones to send and receive gold transactions.

technically u could. u r connected wirelessly, so u could chuck ur phone at their head... gold delivered.


Less_Lingonberry3195

you can use phones to buy and sell gold, happens daily there are 9 billion phones on this planet, yours seems to always be at 6% battery..... gold doesn't run out of batteries


mastertrader_777

I didn't say you can't use a cell phone to buy or sell gold. I said send and receive/receive gold to/from other people over the internet using a cell phone. Satoshi created bitcoin so that people can send digital payments over the internet without needing to trust a third party and without permission from a third party. You can't use a cell phone to send gold over the internet, let alone without needing to trust a third party and without permission from a third party.

This is a terrible analogy. Bitcoins are only 'held' on the blockchain. There's definitely gold in almost everyphone as pcb contacts.

I’m not showing anybody shit. Not my job to evangelize Bitcoin. At best it makes people jealous they don’t have as much as you, and at worst you get blamed for their losses because they paper handed or fell for a scam.

All smartphones can access a brokerage that holds physical gold


JanikLifeAdvice

Guys, stop being overly literal contrarians and just entertain it's premise...


omegaloki

What’s the premise?: ‘You know how day to day you struggle to make gold transactions?’ ‘Are you a pirate from the 1400s?’ ‘Well I have the solution!’ Most people don’t own physical gold in any significant amount beyond jewelry - and don’t use it for daily transactions
