Bitcoin isn't like gold. You cannot launder money or evade tax using gold. No need for trust means no trust. We know what "gold standard" means. You can guess what "bitcoin standard" would mean. Those who think bitcoin is an asset storage are delusional.
> You cannot launder money or evade tax using gold.
What makes you think that?
Trade dirty money for bullion, then trade bullion for cash at a pawn shop - money laundered.
Buy gold, after it appreciates trade it for a good without reporting the capital gain - evaded taxes. Or simply accept physical gold in return for labor without reporting or paying taxes.
