Matt is spot on. Any informed person will recognize the tired and blatant market manipulation tactics of one Chamath Palihapitiya who at one point, owned 1% of the circulating supply of Bitcoin before selling out prematurely. Something he has often lamented.
"There's a structural flaw in gold. Because it's physical, you can't really use it to settle international transactions. You either have to store it with a third-party -- a vault in Switzerland, London, or New York, which puts it at high risk of seizure -- or you have to transport it via insecure/slow planes, trains, and busses. No central bank wants these things."
A classic debate/sales technique when you position one thing vs. another is to focus attention on a small issue with one side, rather than providing a balanced view.
Nothing is perfect. And IMO it's far easier to make bitcoin holdings quasi-private than it is to make gold securely non-physical.
Central bank adoption is coming. They'll hold both bitcoin and gold. It'll just take time.

Are you utilizing @TreehouseFi's $tAVAX strategy?
Here’s how it works:
When you deposit your $AVAX into vaults, its staked through BENQI to mint $sAVAX.
THEN your $sAVAX is supplied into @aave and from here, the strategy borrows $AVAX and reallocate to BENQI for more $sAVAX.
This is a tokenized 1-loop strategy risk-managed daily, boosting staking yield while converging the fragmented lending and staking rates.
