1. The first way is illustrated brilliantly in the book "Chasing Gold," which shows how, when the Nazis were approaching, every country had to get their gold out of there and it was really difficult. For example Poland didn't get their gold repatriated back for 80 years. It took till 2019. This book is a fabulous advertisement for bitcoin even though bitcoin has never been mentioned once in the book.
2. Even if you have a currency based on gold coins they still get debased, because they'll change the alloy and over time they'll bring the good coins in and they'll send out some that are half gold, half copper and eventually you get screwed.

None of the core facts have changed:
✅DA-POW ledger based on time and energy works without anyone in charge
✅bitcoin is both money + a network
✅gold is not a network - based on its physical limitations, it needs a network outside of gold to work
✅gold has failed before and cannot be upgraded
✅gold supply is elastic
✅USD is failing: $38 trillion debt + no buyer; train has left, NSTT
