#比特币与黄金战争 Don't obsess over whether Bitcoin can surpass gold anymore; in fact, these two things are fundamentally not in the same dimension.
The rarity of gold? Basically, it's just geological luck. Bitcoin is different — the cap of 21 million coins is written into the code, a hard mathematical rule that can't be changed. Once mined, it's mined; no one can recreate it out of thin air. As for gold, who can guarantee there are no new deposits underground? With new technology, maybe they can mine a whole new batch.
The real issue is that gold is really inconvenient to use. Buying and selling involve costs, storage requires professional vaults, and transferring depends on logistics or banks... it’s a hassle. Earning interest with it? Impossible. Like a heavy stone, it looks good but can't be swung around easily.
Bitcoin is much more flexible. In DeFi, you can lend and earn interest, collateralize contracts, cross borders instantly, and transfer freely between multiple wallets — this is what modern wealth should look like. High liquidity, high efficiency, everything can be managed right in your wallet.
Basically, one is clinging to the past, and the other is a bet on the future. When holding positions, it's important to build some psychological resilience; don’t just think about which will win. The key is to understand the underlying value logic of each. $BTC

Haha, someone finally said it. The gold standard has long been due for retirement.

I agree with this logic. Gold is just an antique; Bitcoin is the real money.

The hard cap hardcoded in the code is indeed impressive; there's no way to compare with gold.

Disputes are far from everything; everything is controlled by something.

Gold is just a psychological placebo; Bitcoin is the true mathematical art.

Can gold be used in DeFi? No, it can't. That's all there is to it.
