Trolling Amsterdam airports’ lack of knowledge towards bitcoin by making a joke of them asking silver coins as if it were bitcoins.
Twitter conversations give the gist of how much cryptocurrencies have been evolved and the importance of something which can be considered illegal if they didn’t go through that process.
To legally transfer gold not physically, the crypto community gives the idea of selling the gold off for crypto and then using the same crypto to buy the gold in another country which is a lot more easier than showing and giving proof for everything a person owns and the risk of carrying with will be eliminated.
The benefit of bitcoin is cheap to move and impossible to steal. The Gold has many disadvantages in that manner which compliments Bitcoin In a manner and supports the notion of people claims that Bitcoin can replace Gold someday.
John Maynard Keynes once quoted the Gold as “Barbarous relic” and the emergence of the cryptocurrencies and incidents like this Amsterdam Gold case hits the nail on the coffin which is ready to bury the Gold.
