The main advantage of bitcoin over gold is simple: the supply is fixed.
Not theoretical.
Not political.
Mathematically.
21 million. No exceptions.
Gold seems to be scarce until the price rises.
Then more extraction becomes profitable.
New reserves appear.
This is how raw materials work.
Bitcoin doesn't care about the price.
Higher demand does not create more supply.
This only increases competition for what already exists.
This is a huge difference over long time spans.
Gold has been a reliable store of value for centuries.
But it still inflates at around 1–2% per year.
Bitcoin inflates to zero and eventually stops completely.
In a world where governments cannot stop printing, the deficit becomes an asset.
The predictable deficit becomes a premium.
This is why institutions compare bitcoin to gold.
And this is why, in the long run, bitcoin does not try to replace gold.
He tries to outperform it.
