What happens if this this turns gold in a shitcoin?
It certainly changes the equation. Gold’s super power was its perceived scarcity (albeit, it’s not hard capped like BTC).
Also curious to see if it follows the same parallels as diamonds/lab diamonds.

The only difference between a lead atom and a gold atom is three protons. Lead has 82, gold has 79. So, in theory, stripping three protons from a lead nucleus should result in gold
Reminds me of shitcoiners playing around with their token supply caps
