Yeah, you're not gonna give me a fake gold coin in exchange for whatever you wanted from me. I'll trust you to be honest and give me 100% pure gold.

You mean just like all of the <insert random scam>coins out there or <insert random wallet> that gets hacked? You realize there are brokers who help exchange gold right?

Oh, the "Bitcoin can be hacked" narrative again.
You realize you can manage a bitcoin wallet yourself right? I'm a software engineer, I trust the code that I can verify myself. And, regarding the brokers, I'd rather trust a decentralized public ledger than some dude's private ledger. Thanks.
Like, keeping gold in your house is gonna prevent you from being hacked (to death)
