Why we HOLD

Gold is indeed fairly untamperable and even tightly coupled with proof of work to extract and accumulate; however, relatively few people can put it to use and the means of moving it are difficult, timely, slow. I see more and more people, just average working-class, non-technical people understand the economy and currency better and better. I loved the invention of Bitcoin, but it wasn't until I saw the entanglement of a platform, Ethereum, with the concept of a currency that I truly got excited. Eventually, we'll see a few of these become the standard of all exchange and services. I THINK, Bitcoin will always exist, Ethereum will be that platform, and a few other's on the edge will always be providing new types of services and multipliers of efficiency and specialty. But, again, best of all, none of it is centralized, non of it is tamperable. The days when a select privileged, generationally "royal" few can devalue everyone else's wages, even the LIFETIMES of savings of everyone else is over. It must be over, it must end. It's too oppressive and has stolen away so much from so many.
