Bitcoin: Digital Gold or Bubble?
Bitcoin is referred to as 'digital gold' due to its fixed supply (21 million coins) and inflation-resistant properties. In 2021, the price of Bitcoin once surpassed $60,000, attracting institutional investors. However, its price subsequently plummeted, sparking controversy over the 'bubble theory.' Supporters argue that Bitcoin is a long-term store of value, while opponents point out issues such as high energy consumption and lack of intrinsic value. In the future, whether Bitcoin can become a mainstream asset depends on regulatory attitudes and market acceptance.
