Fiat is so catastrophically broken that grown adults are cramming shiny rocks into underground bunkers like medieval peasants hiding grain from the tax collector. We live in the 21st century. We can split atoms, edit genes, and launch cars into orbit. Yet people are hoarding metal because they don't trust their government's paper. That's a civilization-wide distress flare. Silver belongs in solar panels and circuit boards, powering the energy transition and technological progress. Gold belongs in electronics, automotive systems, and medical devices. Instead, they are sitting in dark vaults doing absolutely nothing. Locked away as dead capital. Hoarded by people who correctly diagnosed that fiat is a dumpster fire but reached for the Bronze Age solution instead of the digital one. This hoarding distorts prices and chokes innovation. It artificially inflates the cost of industrial inputs. Progress literally slows down because we're using resources meant for production as a hedge against monetary collapse. Industrial metals should be powering technology, not sitting in vaults as monetary theater. Bitcoin was designed to be money. Nothing else.
