BTC doesn't have to fight gold, does it?
In fact, BTC is made to defeat fiat. Gold is something different. You can have both BTC and gold. why force yourself to choose one over another?
Gold is good. It made stunning jewelry.
BTC is good. It pays for my coffee.
Often people who consider Bitcoins as an asset does this type of comparison.
Actually it’s people’s mindset on how they gonna treat Bitcoins.
You are considering Bitcoins as a way to pay bills for your coffee, but someone is trading (buying and selling) to make profit. So yes comparing exists for the better asset. I consider Bitcoins as both an asset and a way to pay some of my bills and for this I love Bitcoins more than Gold. We also know the fixed amount of BTC created or present , so yes it’s more scarer.
