[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 8096749, member: 27832"]That's an interesting assertion. I mean, take the "[SIZE=5][COLOR=#b35900][B][FONT=Book Antiqua]Gold[/FONT][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] is real money" partisans. From [I]their[/I] point of view, it's the DOLLAR that's the "volatile asset", what with its value fluctuating against [SIZE=5][COLOR=#b35900][B][FONT=Book Antiqua]Gold[/FONT][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] by the day or hour or minute. And yet, since they're stuck dealing with the rest of us unenlightened fools, they have to make transactions denominated in dollars. I'm quite sure there are already people who believe BTC or Ether or Doge is a better "real money", and think their current price action is just because of misplaced confidence in the volatile USD asset. And if they prefer believing that [SIZE=5][COLOR=#b35900][B][FONT=Book Antiqua]Gold[/FONT][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] or BTC is non-volatile, and it's just that [I]everything else[/I] is going up or down in lockstep counterpoint to their Chosen Medium, who am I to question it?[/QUOTE]
