“As a newcomer to cryptocurrency, I once wondered: between Bitcoin $BTC and gold, which is more 'reliable'?
After reading the BBW preheat materials, I gained a new perspective—gold is the 'thousand-year symbol of trust in the physical world', but it has high storage costs (safes, transportation) and is inconvenient to divide (buying 0.1 grams is difficult); Bitcoin is the 'trust in the digital age through code', with 24-hour global trading and being divisible to one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin, but its volatility makes conservatives hesitant.
Tokenized gold (like PAXG) happens to fill the middle ground: using blockchain technology to anchor physical gold, it has the 'physical endorsement' of gold while possessing the liquidity of digital assets. Perhaps the future is not about 'who replaces whom', but rather the choice in different scenarios—families choosing gold for hedging, cross-border payments opting for Bitcoin, and institutions selecting tokenized gold? During the live broadcast, I heard a debater mention that 'the “inertia” of gold is precisely its stability advantage, whereas the “activity” of Bitcoin is the cost of innovation', this statement enlightened me: the evolution of value storage tools is essentially adapting to the changes in human needs.
The above is my humble thought, welcome to discuss～
