Thereโs a debate that refuses to die in crypto: Bitcoin vs Tokenized Gold ๐ช
And honestly, the more I watch this industry evolve, the clearer my stance becomes.
Bitcoin is disruption. Tokenized gold is preservation.
They are not the same asset class, not the same ideology, and definitely not the same future.
Gold has 5,000 years of monetary history โ but itโs also stuck with 5,000 years of limitations.
Tokenizing it solves the form, not the function. You can wrap gold on-chain, make it liquid, fractional, programmableโฆ but at the end of the day, the value still relies on a metal sitting in a vault someone needs to guard. Thatโs not censorship-resistant. Thatโs not permissionless. Thatโs just TradFi with a shiny UI.
Bitcoin is the opposite: a monetary network, a settlement layer, a belief system, and an asset with no issuer.
It doesnโt ask for trust. It replaces it.
And thatโs why it continues to attract capital that thinks in decades, not quarters.
But hereโs the part most people miss:
Tokenized gold isnโt a competitor to Bitcoin โ itโs a competitor to the old gold market.
Itโs great for traders, great for funds, great for liquidity and global access.
Iโm not antiโtokenized gold at all. I actually think it grows massively from here.
I just donโt mistake it for what Bitcoin represents.
If youโre betting on the future of money, you pick Bitcoin.
If youโre hedging legacy market volatility, you pick tokenized gold.
So my stance?
Both will coexist โ but only one becomes a new monetary standard.
And that asset is Bitcoin.
