Calling bitcoin "digital gold" doesn't capture the full picture. While gold is physical and needs to be stored and transported, bitcoin is digital, decentralized and can be transferred globally in minutes without needing intermediaries. It's also programmable allowing for things like smart contracts and decentralized finance which gold can't offer. So while bitcoin and gold share some characteristics, i believe bitcoin is a whole new asset class that goes beyond just being a store of value. It's more about revolutionizing the way we handle money and value.

They share many things, and that's why some call it a digital representation. Or gold of a digital world.
Why not?
Sure, everybody understands what differs the two, because they are two different breeds of assets.
