[Changpeng Zhao Displays Gold Bar During Debate, Claims Bitcoin Verification is Simpler] During the 'Bitcoin vs. Tokenized Gold' debate between Changpeng Zhao and Peter Schiff, Zhao displayed a gold bar from Kyrgyzstan labeled '1000g 999.9' and asked Peter Schiff to verify its authenticity. Schiff stated that he could not confirm its authenticity as he was unfamiliar with the mint's markings and that it would need to be tested. He also noted that the color of the gold bar was slightly different from his 24K gold jewelry. Zhao argued that gold is difficult to authenticate easily, whereas Bitcoin verification is much simpler.
