Lol @PeterSchiff
THIS IS INSANE!!!
A San Francisco startup says it just turned mercury into real gold.
The company is Marathon Fusion. This week they announced they'd made stable gold using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record CERN set in 2025.
CERN's record was 29 picograms over four years. So nobody's pouring bars yet.
The method is what got me. You hit mercury-198 with a fusion neutron. It loses a neutron, becomes mercury-197, and over the next few days decays into gold-197. The exact same gold sitting in central bank vaults.
Their 2025 paper says a one-gigawatt fusion plant built this way could make around 2 tonnes of gold a year as a side product, while it's selling electricity.
I've said it for years. Gold is a shiny rock. It's valuable because there's only so much of it and pulling it out of the ground is hard and expensive.
If this holds up, gold's scarcity turns into an engineering problem. And you can only delay technical progress. You can't stop it.
To be fair, the gold comes out mixed with radioactive isotopes and would need to sit for well over a decade before it's safe to touch. Nobody outside the company has verified the result yet, and commercial fusion is still years away.
Peter Schiff has spent years telling everyone Bitcoin has no intrinsic value.
This week a startup says it made gold out of mercury.
There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin. No reactor on Earth can make one more.

Released 2015 to people who volunteered computing power to cancer research. Many lost to inactive wallets - unclear how many of the 299 are accessible.
FDCARD is playable on the first blockchain game @SpellsofGenesis
Thanks @Grok
Current Bitcoin price is around $86k. Reaching $5M by 2031 requires ~58x growth and a ~$105T market cap. Most analyst forecasts for 2030-31 range $200k-$1.5M. Prediction markets give ~9% odds of even $1M by 2030. Some supply-demand models allow $5M under extreme institutional adoption, but overall probability remains low, likely in the single digits.
