BTC Vs GOLD
Use Case And Role In Portfolios
BTC is a purely digital, fixed supply asset (cap of 21 million BTC) used as “digital gold”, censorship resistant money, and collateral in the crypto system.
Its value is driven by adoption, macro liquidity, regulation, and its narrative as a hedge against fiat debasement and as a high beta risk asset.
Gold
Gold is a physical commodity held by central banks and investors as a long standing store of value and inflation hedge.
It does not yield cash flow, but it has thousands of years of monetary history and deep integration into the traditional financial system via bars, coins, ETFs, and futures.
What this means: BTC is a newer, higher octane alternative to gold with programmable properties and higher upside or downside, while gold is the conservative, established store of value benchmark.
