There is a higher likelihood that gold goes to $0 than Bitcoin does at this point.

One is growing in value and the other is falling.

Don't get caught on the wrong side of a paradigm shift.
It seems people are misunderstanding what I'm saying here.

I'm not saying gold is going to $0, but if you have to pick between gold or bitcoin β€” gold has a higher probability of going to $0 at this point.

Probabilistic conversation much more interesting than the binary one.
Additionally, many people believe the non-monetary value of gold is important. They forget to mention that gold jewelry demand peaked in 2013 and has been falling since.

Non-monetary value dropping quickly among younger generations.
Young people would rather have digital skins and other digital products to show off wealth and status than gold rings or necklaces.

It is unlikely that either gold or bitcoin goes to zero, but the probability of it happening to gold is much higher IMO.
Lastly, central banks have become net sellers of gold for the 1st time in nearly a decade. They used to be long only bids, but now they have been net sellers multiple times in recent months.

The narrative is changing. Tailwind is gold goes down over the next decade. We'll see :)
Also, @lexpaval pointed out gold for tech sector is less than 8%.

If jewelry demand is falling, central bank demand is falling, and so is investment demand, then we are likely already watching early signs of gold collapse. Will take years, but underway.

Digital artist @rekodi_i is quickly becoming one of the most interesting artists in the world.

The next drop is tomorrow night.

Time for a thread πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½
1/ @rekodi_i's last drop was 15 pieces of beautiful art.

Each piece was a 1 of 1 and the total collection went for more than $150,000.

That's just the start though. Image
2/ The next @rekodi_i drop will be the "Death to Fiat" collection.

Only 15 pieces with each being a 1 of 1.

There are 12 pieces that will be sold for 0.01 ETH and then 3 pieces that will be auctioned off.

A pseudonymous artist is quickly becoming one of the highest grossing digital artists nearly overnight.

You almost won't believe this story.

Time for a thread πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½
1/ About 2 weeks ago, someone reached out to me about a digital art collection that they had created.

It came via Twitter DM.

Not sure why this one caught my eye, but I was intrigued by their question.
2/ The individual told me they were a digital artist and they wanted to find a partner for launching their new collection.

They explained they wanted to launch it under a pseudonym, but were worried that no one would discover their work.

Peter Thiel allegedly built a $90+ million tax-free Roth IRA.

The crazy part? The maximum amount you're allowed to contribute to a Roth is $6,000 per year.

Time for a thread πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
1/ Peter Thiel is a self-made billionaire famous for co-founding PayPal, Palantir, and Founders Fund.

He was also the first outside investor in Facebook, which has led to a net worth reported to be around $5.7 billion.
2/ Thiel is 53 years old, assuming he's been maxing out his Roth since he was 18, the maximum amount he could have contributed is $210,000.

So how did he earn more than 23,000% return on his retirement account?

The United States is in really bad financial shape.

The government has taken in more federal income tax every year since 2009, yet they lose more and more money each year.

Time for a thread πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸ½
1/ The US government has more revenue coming in the door every year.

Since 2009, federal income tax revenue has almost doubled.
2/ Although the US government has made more revenue each year, they continue to lose money year after year.

The last time the government spent less than it made was in 2001.

For 20 years, the government has lost money. Insane.
