The fact that Bitcoin is younger than gold but has already been compared to it says a lot already. Just a clear indication that Bitcoin is better than gold and will hold more significance in the future.
People who still struggle to accept this are just holding on to the past.
The fact that a 16-year-old asset like bitcoin is being compared to a thousand-year-old asset like gold shows the huge potential of bitcoin. But that doesn't mean bitcoin will outperform gold or be better than gold because they are two completely different assets. A virtual asset and a real asset, meaning they are not interchangeable, how can one be said to be better than the other?
Why don't they call Bitcoin is Gold or Gold 2.0, and just call it digital gold? That means they will not replace or compete with each other.
Gold is not only used for investment and as a store of value, but also has practical applications in most industries such as electronics, medicine, electronics and in life such as jewelry, cuisine...Can Bitcoin take on those roles? How can it be said that it is better than gold when it is only used for speculation and has no other practical application?
