I can totally see both sides of the argument.

On one hand, BTC's potential for huge frowth is hard to ignore especially with how it's been gaining popularity and breaking new ground. It has clear advantages like being easy to transfer and divide which gold can't match.

But on the other hand, gold has stood the test of time. It's been a go-to store of value for centuries and people trust it especially in times of crisis.

It's really about balancing both in a portfolio and understanding their respective roles.

We can't ignore both assets. Each have their own advantages/disadvantages. I think for the time-being, BTC and Gold will remain the best stores of value. But as we shift into a digital and cashless society, Bitcoin will ultimately take the reigns as Gold's successor. People's perception of the "yellow metal" as a store of value or long-term investment will diminish. It will be solely used for industrial purposes and jewelry.

The future belongs to intangible assets. Bitcoin, NFTs, and CBDCs are part of this. Gold is not. It only exists in physical form. I'm yet to see if tokenizing Gold would prove to be a success or a failed experiment. BTC has been on a long journey since it's inception. Yet, it has achieved gains at at much faster rate than any other asset on Earth. Who knows what surprises we'll find in the future?
