Until a currency has a military and economy behind it, it’s a toy. That is what a currency represents: power and trust.

Until a gold has a military and economy behind it, it’s a toy. That is what a gold as a rock represents: power and trust.

"0 mention of Bitcoin" might have sparked a discussion, but: as a Millenial I feel your mention of "Boomer" is unwarranted, and as a dev in fintech I very much understand blockchain tech, but "the future of the monetary system" and Bitcoin? Payments maybe, but "the monetary system"? Please.

Gold is not a currency. I’m not sure what point you think you are making but you aren’t refuting the point about currency.
