"If you need something from somebody and they demand Bitcoin, you will pay them in Bitcoin or you just won't eat." Gold has been money for a very long time. We just stopped recognizing it. Now sovereigns are waking back up. FX reserves. Settlement in Yuan. Accumulating quietly. The world is going from an era of abundance to a level of scarcity.
