    The function of Store of Value (SoV) of any money is acquired by common belief of it's worth. It happened with gold in a very long time-span. People holding gold would not benefit …

    Most people in 1900 would not transact in Gold although it was the first settlement. The world was fine till governments decided to operate without hard money as first settlement l…

    You are basically being first choosing the store of value that will be used in the future. That's a risky move if you fail. Are the rewards desirable? That's an interesting discusi…

    I'm just reasoning why it will happen. Macro markets do not always react fast to these kind of trends. I agree with your description of the present and close past, thus calling an …

    What if sentiment is blue-pilled and holding dollars is actually the gamble? You would be holding the wrong side of the stick. I would agree that dollars have little downside but t…
