In 50 years, the Dogecoin-supply will be increasing at a rate of 1.4%.

In 2011, the gold supply increased at a rate of 1.6%.

Do you think gold is too inflationary to be used at a store of value?

frankly, gold is "lost" all the time

I actually do feel that gold is too inflationary to store value. Many people simply don't realize at what scale it's being mined and how much of gold there's in the universe (hint: more than enough to build gold toilets for every human on the planet and not even scratch the surface).

I'm sure you have a financially viable scheme for importing gold from other galaxies far-far away, but you're keeping it for us to figure out, right?

Because gold exists only on our planet and in other galaxies far-far away?

Even importing gold from other parts of our own solar system is a long way from financial viability.

You're right. We should be building bitcoin toilets for every human on the planet instead.
