I keep hearing people call Bitcoin “digital gold.”
But gold has been around for thousands of years, and Bitcoin is only ~16 years old.

Do you think Bitcoin can really replace gold as a store of value — or should they just complement each other?

I’m curious what older members here think!
This world is now in a global village; we need something digital that can solve a lot of financial problems, and Bitcoin has come to be one of them because of the financial freedom it gives its investors.

You just said that gold has been in existence for a very long time, while Bitcoin is just 16 years of age, and it has started to be compared with gold, which means it is very important and has a good future because the rate at which Bitcoin price has appreciated is incomparable to that of gold; that is why people are looking at Bitcoin as their long-term saving option.

Furthermore, Bitcoin is a digital currency you can hold, buy, and sell without the involvement of any third party, while gold requires a third party; and there is nothing like fake Bitcoin, while we have a lot of fake gold everywhere. If you mistakenly buy and save fake gold for future savings, you will regret it; therefore, buy Bitcoin and hold it for long, and you will appreciate it later.
