Gold has an unlimited supply, as long as they keep digging, and you pay jewish markup fees. When you sell it, you pay the jewish low-ball price.

BTC will slow down minting of new coins. Since its the first network, someone will always want it. You can buy and sell it for low fees.

Gold has no function? Are you sure about that because I'm 100% certain there are things you own that use gold as part of their functional components.

crypto is a part of the 4th industrial revolution, the play is to mask the introduction of communism 2.0 (destruction of civil rights) as necessary in battling climate change.

Nigeria can ban what they want, in reality the people still hold crypto and will be able to trade it for other crypto and buy stuff with it.
What will happen is exactly what happened in China, a black market for crypto, even a worse situation for the state.

What circumstances?
Increasing inflation which increases inflation uncertainty and hurts businesses with variable cost structure. Funny variable cost structure businesses are the largest weight in the U.S. stock market (tech & con services + amazon) and have benefited from falling marginal input costs. An inflationary environment favors businesses whose revenues rise with inflation but costs were incurred in the last and do not rise with inflation. This describes many energy and natural resources companies which are a very small % of U.S. stock market cap but are the best performing sector in 2021.
Very few people understand these differences and will simply see stocks going down as nominal prices rise and they will seek out store of value assets in an inflationary environment.
