> The Bitcoin Historian’s post argued that gold’s scarcity was no longer assured while describing Bitcoin’s supply as fixed.

An Oct. 23 post from The Bitcoin Historian (@pete_rizzo_) attributed a call to buy Bitcoin (BTC) to an unnamed former PayPal president and linked it to a claim that scientists could turn mercury into gold.

The post argued that gold’s scarcity was no longer guaranteed while describing Bitcoin’s supply as fixed. It did not name the former PayPal president or identify the scientists behind the claimed process.

The mercury-to-gold claim remains unverified, and the post provided no evidence for it. The post also offered no supporting details for the alleged Bitcoin pitch.
