Bitcoin and Gold: The Deliberately Ignored Truth 🔍
"Bitcoin is just virtual code, it has no real value?"
What about the internet? What about your online banking account? What about every social media post you make?
The cornerstone of modern society is a combination of code + electricity.
"Gold and silver have real value!"
Let’s face the reality:
Gold does not cure diseases, does not generate electricity, and does not automatically appreciate.
Its value is entirely built on human collective consensus.
Art, real estate, fiat currency... all are the same.
The dimensional advantage of Bitcoin:
✅ Absolute scarcity - A mathematical limit of 21 million coins
✅ 7×24 hours global liquidity
✅ Anti-censorship - No central bank can freeze it
✅ Physical-level anti-counterfeiting - Guaranteed by cryptography
✅ Self-custody - The private key is sovereignty
(Can gold complete cross-border settlements in 5 minutes?)
Classic doubts and truths:
🔹 "Rely on electricity and the internet?"
→ Try using a credit card or online banking during a power outage?
🔹 "It can be hacked!"
→ The Bitcoin network has never been breached
→ An exchange's problems ≠ Bitcoin being unsafe
(Just like you can't blame the email protocol if your mailbox gets phished)
Ultimate freedom of choice:
You can:
• Store Bitcoin in an exchange (like a traditional bank)
• Control your own private keys (be your own bank)
• Even run a full node (become part of the system)
(Can gold give you these options?)
The dividing line between the old and new worlds:
🏛️ Gold belongs to the era of horse-drawn carriages as a value-preserving asset
🖥️ Bitcoin is the native asset of digital civilization
When someone says "Bitcoin is fake" -
What they truly resist is the evolution of the value storage paradigm.
(After all, medieval people also thought paper money was a "devil's contract")
Old buddy, give it a like!
