Why peole always comparing bitcoin and gold? Bitcoin isn't a gold but they have similarities that their price very expensive. That is why all of us wanted to have bitcoin in our hand.
You said it yourself. They're frequently being compared due to them having a lot of shared characteristics; namely:
- Scarcity
- Fungibility
- Durability
- Divisibility
and many more, and bitcoin comes out on top. Gold is only advantageous when talking about gold being used in jewelry and such, and the typical argument "what if there's no internet or we had an EMP hurr durr".
And no, they're not being compared because of both being "expensive"; because you can buy fractions of both gold and bitcoin anyway.
but gold has a more stable price than bitcoin, because gold can be accepted by all countries as asset savings, so price changes will never be as fast as a bitcoin that can drop 50% in just one week
if that happens to gold, chances are that the stability of the world economy will be disrupted, and of course, many people begin to doubt the existence of gold
Goodluck paying your groceries with your gold. Gold is a lot more stable due to liquidity, and that's it. Bitcoin is only 10 years old, liquidity will come in time.
