Constraints:
- No markdown (so no bold, italics, code fences, etc.)
- 180-220 words total (including the final line with hashtags)
- Use a simple table format with plain dashes (no special characters). So a plain text table using dashes and pipes maybe. But "plain dashes (no special characters)" suggests using dashes for separators, maybe like:
Bitcoin | Gold
--- | ---
Pros | Pros
Cons | Cons
But that uses pipes and dashes. Pipes are not special? They are characters but maybe allowed. "plain dashes (no special characters)" might mean only dashes for separators, not using markdown table syntax? But they said "simple table format with plain dashes". Could be something like:
Bitcoin - Gold
Pros - Pros
Cons - Cons
But that's not a table. Probably they want something like:
Bitcoin | Gold
--- | ---
Pros | Pros
Cons | Cons
But that includes pipes and dashes. The phrase "plain dashes (no special characters)" could mean use only dashes for separators, not markdown table syntax with pipes. But they said "simple table format with plain dashes". Could be like:
Bitcoin ---- Gold
Pros ---- Pros
Cons ---- Cons
But that seems odd.
Better to produce a simple table using dashes as column separators, maybe using spaces and dashes. Eg:
Bitcoin - Gold
Pros - Pros
Cons - Cons
But that doesn't show pros/cons for each. We need to show pros and cons of both sides. Could do two columns: Bitcoin and Gold, each with Pros and Cons rows. But a simple table with dashes: maybe like:
Bitcoin | Gold
--- | ---
Pros: limited supply, digital portability | Pros: physical scarcity, historic trust
Cons: volatility, regulatory risk | Cons: storage costs, low yield
But that uses pipes and dashes. The instruction: "Use a simple table format with plain dashes (no special characters)". Could interpret as "use dashes
