And there's also oil.

But of course, it's not an investment.

You know, oil is a futures contract, whereas gold can be held.

And then again, when you come to crypto...

75% of all crypto is Bitcoin and 25% of the other 1 million coins or however many there are is not Bitcoin.

And it's very similar to gold versus the above ground supply of gold against the above ground supply of other commodities.

So I just think that's a very good way to think about it.

And I think the financial services industry has been hoodwinking people for years, trying to call things alternatives, put the fees up and that sort of thing.

But they're not really.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, private equity, I mean, it can be very good.

But of course, the disparity of returns in private equity funds is vast.

Whereas if you buy an index fund, everyone gets the same outcome.

So there's a very different sort of fundamental thing going on there.

Well, I think so.

Has it been granted permission from someone high up in financial circles?

I don't know.

Well, there are rules, of course.

And that is that if it's created by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England or Goldman Sachs or someone like that, then, of course, it's a legitimate thing.

But because it came from chaos and it came from the cypherpunks and that sort of thing, it's never been accepted by the financial services industry.
