Why Bitcoin,
could be the 'better gold' of this era?

If you lived 100 years ago,
you had to protect your wealth,
you could only choose gold.

If you lived today,
you at least have to ask yourself one question:

Is gold still the best store of wealth?

This is not a question of speculation,
but rather a question of survival and security.

🚩What does 'store of wealth' mean? It's not about making money, it's about 'surviving'

Many people, when they hear about investment, their first reaction is:
👉 Can it go up?
👉 Can it double?

But in the truly brutal history,
Humans are not primarily concerned with "how much money they can make," but rather with:

Will the things I've worked so hard to save up still be there in 10 years?

This is called "wealth storage".

You can imagine it as—
You need to take the essence of your time, labor, and life.
Compress it into something and leave it for your future self.

Over the past 5,000 years, humanity has tried many things:

👍Shell
👍 Copper Coins
👍Silver
👍Land
👍Diamond
👍Stocks

But in the end, it was gold that truly won.

🚩Why has gold been able to win for 5000 years?

It's not because gold is "good-looking".
Rather, it's because it happens to meet 5 conditions:

💥Scarcity: It won't easily increase in quantity.
💥Durability: Won't break
💥Divisible: Can be cut into smaller pieces
💥Easy to recognize: Everyone can understand it at a glance.

Social consensus: It has been recognized as valuable for thousands of years.

Therefore, gold gradually became:
👉 The most powerful "value consensus" among humankind

But here's the problem!

Is gold truly "safe"? History has given us the answer.

If you believe gold is absolutely safe
Then you probably haven't studied history carefully.

First, gold is difficult to store.
Gold requires vaults, insurance, and transportation.
Moreover, the more you have, the higher the cost.
During World War II, the vaults of the BNP Paribas bank...
They were taken away in whole batches by the German army.

This incident teaches us a very realistic lesson:
When the world really gets into chaos
The bank's safe deposit box may not belong to you.

Secondly, gold has extremely high conversion costs in times of chaos.
During World War II:
Shanghai
Paris
Amsterdam

As long as it is a high-risk area
Gold transactions often involve discounts of 60% to 70%.
Even lower.

Even worse—
Once people know you have gold
Your personal safety will be in danger.

Third, will the government really "legally confiscate" the gold?

In 1933, the U.S. government forced its people to:
At $20.67 per ounce
Hand over gold

One year later, the government repriced the price:
$35 per ounce
What was the result?

👉 The gold held by the people has been "legally devalued" by 41% within a year.
👉 The US government seized a total of 2,600 tons of gold.

And all of this happened—
One of the countries in the world that most respects private property rights: the United States

🚩Gold faces a fatal problem in the digital age.

Imagine a scene:
Can you use your phone?
Transfer 1 kilogram of gold to a friend?
cannot!

Gold has a fatal flaw in the digital age:
It is not "digital" enough.
It's like living in the WhatsApp era.
But they could only use a fax machine.

The emergence of Bitcoin is not essentially about speculation, but rather an upgrade.

In 2009, a person named "Satoshi Nakamoto"
Introducing a concept:
Is there a way to do this without relying on the state?
It doesn't rely on banks and can't be printed arbitrarily.
What is the value that can be transferred globally?
And so, Bitcoin was born.

You can think of Bitcoin as:
A type of "digital gold with hard-coded rules"

🚩Why is Bitcoin called "better gold"?

Let's look at it using the same 5 conditions:

1️⃣ Scarcity

Total quantity: 21 million
Never one more
Unlike gold, which yields 1.5% to 2% annually...

👉 Bitcoin is absolutely scarce.

2️⃣ Durability

It won't rust
It will not corrode
No loss

👉 It exists as long as the network exists.

3️⃣ Portability (This is the key difference)

today:
$1 million worth of gold ≈ 12.5 kilograms
You can't bring it on the plane at all.
But $1 million worth of Bitcoin:

👉 You can take away 12 words that only one brain can remember.

4️⃣ Divisibility

Minimum unit: 0.00000001 BTC
In real-world transactions, this is already incredibly small.

5️⃣ Social consensus (the one that many people question the most)

Sixteen years later, one fact must be acknowledged:
The US launches a Bitcoin ETF
BlackRock founder Larry Fink said:
Bitcoin is a digital form of gold.
Both Trump and Putin have publicly endorsed Bitcoin (with different motivations).

👉 It's no longer a niche experiment.

🚩Data Speaks: How Has Bitcoin Performed?

From 2010 to now:
Annualized return: approximately 1.67 times
It is 14 times that of the S&P 500.
It is 24 times that of gold.

Market capitalization:
Approximately $2.3 trillion
Exceeding Saudi Aramco
Top 10 global assets

And the key point is:
Bitcoin represents only 0.22% of the world's $900 trillion in wealth.

People who currently hold Bitcoin:
Approximately 100 million people
Only 2.5% of global internet users
What does this mean?

👉 It's still in its very early stages.

Gold is like a martial arts manual that has been passed down for 5,000 years.
Bitcoin is more like the newly invented "Internet".

The story of gold is now finished.
The story of Bitcoin has only just begun.

🚩This may be the only "consensus upgrade" that our generation can participate in.

It took 5,000 years for gold to establish a consensus.
Bitcoin took only 16 years to develop.

This could be:

Since gold,
Humanity's first upgrade in "wealth storage"
Not every generation
Everyone encounters moments like this.

One last question for you.
If in the next 20 years,
The world is becoming increasingly unstable.
Money is becoming increasingly easier to print.
The boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred.

You would choose:

👉 A heavy, difficult-to-transfer, and potentially confiscated asset?
👉 Or is it a digital asset with hard-coded rules that can be transferred globally?

Do you think Bitcoin is a better form of gold in this era?
