The competition between digital gold and physical gold has recently taken on new twists. We often see this pattern in the market: first, the gold price is driven up, then there is a sell with bearish market to short, followed closely by news about artificially synthesized gold. This operation is indeed quite interesting.
In such a large environment, is there still potential for gold tokens like PAXG? Each position corresponds to one ounce of physical inventory, and a physical inventory check must be conducted every month. Compared to the virtual nature of BTC, is this token form, which has physical backing, more reliable or more of a burden? The market oscillates between gold and digital assets, and investors are becoming increasingly rational in their choices. The true value may still need time to be validated.

Playing the same old tricks again, as soon as the news about synthetic gold came out, I knew someone was going to dump.
PAXG, to put it simply, is prepared for those under financial regulation with a bottom line; it’s safer than BTC but lacks that thrill.
Real asset backing sounds solid, but the monthly inventory checks... no one can say for sure if there’s really anything in the vault.
In this market, it’s not the assets themselves that are unstable, but human sentiment.

PAXG is a compromise solution between TradFi and on-chain, sounds safe but still has centralization risks; if you ask me, it's better to just go for BTC.

A typical market maker trap, first eat the chips then pump, retail investors are always the last to catch a falling knife.
PAXG has physical backing which sounds reassuring, but this thing's liquidity is really much worse than BTC.
Physical inventory checks? Heh, do you believe it or not, it's still those people who call the shots.
Instead of getting caught up in numbers or physical assets, why not think about how to get out before this big dump.
Synthetic gold is out, is the next step going to be playing people for suckers again?
Gold tokens are just a pseudo-demand, if you really want to allocate gold, it's better to buy spot directly.
BTC is solid, no one can cheat, PAXG is all about trust games behind it.
Time validation? Brother, you might be waiting until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, the market has long forgotten.
