Bitcoin's fixed supply is positioning it as a long-term asset superior to gold—at least that's what market analysts are saying now. Unlike gold, which can technically be mined indefinitely, Bitcoin's 21 million coin cap creates genuine scarcity. This structural advantage matters. While gold held its ground as the store of value for millennia, the digital age demands digital solutions. Bitcoin doesn't rely on central banks or geopolitical factors the way precious metals do. The numbers speak: a truly capped asset class versus one subject to supply shocks. Analysts argue this makes all the difference when you're looking at decades ahead.

Hey wait, can gold be mined infinitely? That logic doesn't quite hold up. I believe in the cap of 21 million for BTC, but who knows what will happen in a few decades? Maybe it will need to be upgraded again. True scarcity is probably a false proposition; as long as there's internet, it can be replicated. The digital age is the digital age, but gold has a kind of faith-based premium—something different that insists on competing. Analysts have been saying this every year; when will it actually be implemented? Honestly: I have all my funds in one position, but I don't have much confidence either haha.

The 21 million cap is a tired phrase, but it is indeed better than unlimited mining.

The cap of 21 million coins has been talked about for so many years, but we still don't know when that day will come. This logic doesn’t really hold up; I haven't heard of gold being able to be mined infinitely either. Digital assets are digital assets; why forcefully elevate Bitcoin to compete with gold? Let each play their own game. Bitcoin is indeed scarce, but can this thing retain its value for decades? I have some doubts. Why say that gold relies on geopolitical factors while Bitcoin is not influenced by market sentiment? Isn’t that nonsense? A cap of 21 million sounds great, but how many are frozen on exchanges right now? What about liquidity? Analysts say nice things, but I only trust my own Wallet. Humans have to go through a round of Bear Market to truly understand; why boast so much? Scarcity is indeed an advantage, but to say it's stronger than gold... it’s still too early. Forget about this; just hold on to it and that's it.

Gold has been gold for thousands of years, while Bitcoin has only been around for a little over a decade and dares to claim it is superior. Where does this confidence come from?
