Think about it—precious metals have maintained purchasing power across centuries, yet their returns pale compared to what crypto has delivered in a fraction of the time. If you're looking at long-term value storage, the narrative has fundamentally shifted. Gold might be the safe play, but the real wealth creation happens where the volatility is highest. The market is already pricing in this new story.

Well... that's true, but there's nothing new. People in the crypto circle hype this up every day, but what's the result? The people from the last bull market are still stuck in losses, haha.

Speaking of which, gold has remained the same for hundreds of years, but the returns from crypto in recent years can probably outshine it... However, how many people truly dare to bet their life savings?

lol the volatility argument is classic cope. you're basically saying "yeah gold is boring but crypto's sandwich attacks print faster" — true, but that's literally toxic flow disguised as alpha. mempool's already frontrunned this narrative tbh. gas strategy matters way more than the narrative when you're actually stacking, not just theorycrafting.

I've long seen through it; the gold and silver stuff is outdated. The real big move happens where the volatility is the highest.

tbh, let me break this down for you—if you examine the data on historical governance precedent within major protocols, the volatility argument actually collapses under scrutiny. the tokenomics framework here conveniently ignores quorum requirements and voting power dynamics that would've demolished this thesis back in 2017, empirical evidence suggests otherwise

Bro, that sounds great to hear, but I'm still a bit hesitant to go all in on crypto... After all, gold can't drop too much, but I've seen too many cases of coins being wiped out overnight in the crypto world.
