The Core Arguments • Bitcoin (The "Digital Gold"): • Trustlessness: Proponents like CZ argue that Bitcoin is superior because it is "on-chain" and requires no intermediaries. You own the asset directly through your private keys. • Censorship Resistance: It cannot be seized or frozen by a central vault or government, unlike physical gold which requires secure storage. • Scarcity: Its supply is mathematically capped at 21 million, ensuring no supply shocks. • Tokenized Gold (The "Digitized Standard"): • Intrinsic Value: Peter Schiff argues that gold has 5,000 years of history and utility (electronics, jewelry) backing its value, whereas Bitcoin relies on faith. • Stability: Tokenization brings blockchain efficiency (speed, divisibility) to gold without Bitcoin's extreme volatility. • Custodial Risk: The main counter-argument is the "Trust Me Bro" factor. Tokenized gold is essentially a digital receipt for physical metal in a vault. If the vault is seized or the issuer fails, the token could become worthless. #BinanceBlockchainWeek #BTCvsGold
