I'm a gold proponent and I'm not losing sleep over gold being threatened by this, but... "Free energy" (obviously a nebulous term, but let's run with it) could truly result in gold's supply expanding much more quickly than it does today. The same is not true for Bitcoin because "more energy" doesn't change the fixed supply. The risk is about hostile miners attempting to carry out double-spends, re-orgs, block censorship. But in a "free energy" scenario, honest bitcoin miners would have access to the same energy, which makes a sustained attack by hostile miners harder to carry out.@jhaarblockware @mmjukic In a narrow vacuum, yes. In a "free energy" scenario, all financial assets would collapse, & as a result, all assets with a financial tie would collapse alongside them. IE BTC & gold would do what they did in COVID, except probably fall closer to $0 (before exploding higher).View original on X ↗
