> Just a question, isn't all criticism against bitcoin applicable to gold?

Pretty much. It is insane that gold mines pollute the environment while central banks hoard double-digit percentage of ever mined gold in their vaults. And I see also no difference in the stupidity of central banks supporting gold price or cryptocurrency price.

(There is a small difference, though, as a noble metal, gold actually has some utility outside inves^H^H^H^Hgambling and illegal trade)
