Gold's scarcity is vulnerable to synthetic creation. Marathon Fusion says it demonstrated high-rate conversion of mercury into stable gold. By contrast, no 21,000,001st ZEC can ever be made; Zcash is the 21st century's store of value. x.com 

Gold will see a diamond-like price decline if lab-grown gold takes hold. The quoted post says lab-grown diamonds halved diamond prices since 2016; gold is currently the largest asset class on Earth, so its money moving into Bitcoin could be consequential. x.com

Gold's scarcity is limited by technology and economics, and AI and automation are already loosening it. Mining needs no humanoid robots, only cheaper exploration, drilling, hauling, sorting, processing and maintenance; lowering the cost per ounce turns lower-grade deposits into profitable reserves and expands recoverable supply. Strip away gold's monetary premium and its price gravitates toward the marginal cost of producing the next ounce. Bitcoin's scarcity, by contrast, is set by code. x.com  … Show more

Gold is set to take off as energy-driven stagflation traps the Fed and negative real rates favor it. Today's dovish hold was likely its last chance to hike: once the AI bubble bursts, the Fed loses that option, while current debt-to-GDP rules out Volcker-style hikes without fiscal insolvency.

Bitcoin's fixed 21 million supply makes it preferable to oil, gold and silver, whose higher prices encourage more production. Sell those three commodities and buy Bitcoin.
