I'm optimistic about Bitcoin as a viable alternative to gold as a store of value. Imagine Bitcoin is just over a +decade old, but it's already a viable option for storing value. Isn't this evidence of its year-over-year increase in value? I mean realistically, no other asset has been able to match gold over the decades other than Bitcoin.
When it comes to usability, we all need flexibility, right? And have you ever heard of someone traveling anywhere in the world carrying a pile of gold?
Don't even mention fiat currencies, because fiat currencies themselves are no longer backed by gold.
