Physical gold poses serious logistical challenges. Transporting it, storing it securely, and executing transactions all require extensive infrastructure and carry hidden costs.
Beyond convenience, there's a deeper issue: gold supply credibility. Watch the pattern—whenever gold prices surge, suddenly there's news of fresh mining discoveries flooding the market. This convenient timing raises questions about how transparent the actual supply truly is.
Bitcoin eliminates these friction points entirely. Immutable ledger, instant settlement, no middleman required. The supply cap is mathematically fixed and verifiable on-chain.
As demographics shift and younger generations inherit wealth, their preference will likely lean toward digital assets. They're native to blockchain systems and understand the difference between trustless networks and opaque commodity markets. That generational transition could reshape how value gets stored and moved.

That gold scam should have gone bankrupt long ago. Not only are the shipping fees exorbitant, but you also have to trust a bunch of middlemen... See on the Bitcoin blockchain, everything is transparent to the end.

You're right, the old and outdated logic of gold should have been eliminated long ago. Wait a minute... Have you noticed those "newly discovered" news every time the gold price soars? I mean, I really can't hold back anymore.
On-chain verification > central bank vaults, there's nothing to argue about.
The key is generational transition; young people simply wouldn't bother to mess around with a gold bar. They inherently understand Bitcoin.
By the way, the synergy between mining conglomerates and paper gold is also impressive.

The old tricks with gold have long been seen through; our generation doesn't fall for that anymore.

Haha, here comes another set of "Bitcoin perfection theory." I just want to ask, how can the on-chain verified ledger still be exploited so deeply by me...
