Another massive gold deposit just got confirmed—and the precious metals crowd is celebrating like they struck lottery. Champagne popping, victory laps, the whole nine yards.

But here's the twist nobody's talking about: every time a "historic" gold find makes headlines, it kinda proves the opposite of what gold bugs preach. If new supply keeps materializing, where's the unstoppable scarcity?

Meanwhile, certain digital assets literally have their supply cap written into immutable code. No surprise discoveries. No geological surveys flipping the script overnight. Just math.

Funny how traditional store-of-value cheerleaders ignore this inconvenient fact. Maybe scarcity isn't about what's buried underground—it's about what can't be printed, mined beyond limits, or "discovered" when prices spike.

Just saying, the irony is delicious.

Gold has been discovered again, but what is truly scarce is the stuff that is hardcoded; this logic is incredible.

Damn, it's this trap again? Gold is endless, but code is truly scarce.

Haha, the gold mine is at it again with this trap, every time they discover something, they end up slapping their own face.

Again talking about the scarcity of gold, as soon as a new mine is found, it all falls apart, laughing to death.

ngl, the "discovery" timing is sus... every bull run spike and suddenly there's a "historic" deposit? ran the data on past announcements and the correlation is way too clean. transaction patterns don't lie, but mining company press releases? different story entirely.

They've dug up another gold mine, and the gold bugs are all excited... lol This logical flaw is huge, the supply can just appear, what about scarcity? The hard-coded limit is the real scarcity, gold? It can be mined anytime. The traditionalists really know how to deceive themselves, it's just ironic.

No matter how much gold there is, it is just dug out from the ground; what is truly scarce are the things that are hard-coded.

Gold is so easy to mine, what else is scarce, haha.
