After reading a lot of posts made by people on this forum, I realized about 75% of them see Bitcoin as a digital Gold. For me, I don't think Bitcoin is a digital gold. Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin to be precise, was developed to be a safer option for transaction of goods and services and also the best mode of payment. Bitcoin was introduced to disable all the restrictions that banks and the financial system presented. A lot of people have lost huge sums of money because they saw bitcoin as a digital gold. I know others will argue that bitcoin has also made people rich but for me, I don't think it is advisable to consider Bitcoin as a digital gold. Bitcoin is a digital currency.
Bitcoin is often equated or referred to as digital gold because Bitcoin has all the same characteristics as gold.
First, the amount of Bitcoin is limited, only a certain amount will be produced. Then, Bitcoin can be broken down into smaller units without losing the value of the unit, so we can buy less than one Bitcoin. And, Bitcoin technology is also stable and will not experience degradation, nor can it be possible to make fake Bitcoin.
Actually, I also disagree when many people think bitcoin is digital gold because such perceptions often make people have a wrong understanding and consider investing in bitcoin as safe as investing in gold.
