      If your pension plan does, it’s not real gold right? Who has it? Are you sure? Are the records transparent?

        It’s held in reserve by a bank if they are invested directly in gold. Who is holding your crypto? Oh that’s right no one is.

              Crypto is not immaterial, there is a digital (digital stuff exists in the real world, since it’s not fairy magic) copy of all Bitcoin transactions spread all around the world. Without the physical presence of nodes, bitcoin would not exist.

              Also, Crypto does not equal Bitcoin.
