I also still do not understand why they can say gold betbecause many people already assess the advantages of cryptocurrency, referring
because many people already assess the advantages of cryptocurrency, referring to BitCoin as digital gold. Indeed, Bitcoin and gold have many similarities:
+ (Scarcity).
It is necessary to make some effort to get gold or bitcoin. so gold is mined in mining, and Bitcoin - with the help of complex computer calculations.
+ (Universality).
Both valuable assets have value, which is common in all countries. there is no need to convert Bitcoin into local currency in each country as well as gold, which has a notable value.
+ (Increase in value in times of crisis and inflation)
During a critical situation in the economy, when there is a big risk of losing your savings money, people massively buy gold and Bitcoin, and this reflects in the price. An example of this situation is events in Greece and Cyprus .
+ (Operation outside the banking system)
The government has no direct influence on Bitcoin, ie it can not "print" Bitcoin more in case of deficiency or withdraw it from people's accounts. The same goes for gold.
however Bitcoin is an advanced form of gold, as evidenced by a number of advantages:
+ (Excluding the possibility of forgery)
Gold can still be faked somehow. Or the quantity can be reduced in the finished product, which greatly reduces the final cost. periodically there is news about the fake ingot Bank. Bitcoins can not get involved in anything like this.
+ (No need to bring it)
When you move to another country you do not have to think about how to carry Bitcoin safely. this is enough to transfer them to your BTC online wallet to have access to anywhere. At the same time bringing gold is a real problem especially if you have a lot. You will face restrictions on the amount of gold permitted to carry. in addition, there is a high risk of theft. Or you can make insurance for gold, which requires additional cost.
+ (Used as a means of payment)
While there are currently not many services that can be paid with Bitcoin, every year that number is increasing. but it's unlikely you can pay for items with gold somewhere.
+ (No risk of foreclosure) It will be seen that it is impossible to confiscate the personal gold of the entire population of that country. However, in 1933 the US government forced its citizens to hand over the gold stored in their homes. in case of embezzlement have to pay a fine or they will be imprisoned. Certainly, people receive replacements in the amount of gold they submit. But soon after that the devaluation of the US dollar followed, which was hardly a coincidence, and the entire population of the United States suffered losses. but this scenario is not possible with Bitcoin.
+ (Convenience and security) Wherever you are, you always have access to your savings over the Internet or mobile. Unfortunately not like gold. In any emergency case this advantage is particularly noticeable.
thus, we can say with certainty that Bitcoin is a sophisticated functional form of gold. Investing in Bitcoin You have a guarantee that your savings will not be lost due to devaluation, you can be sure that the government can not gain access to your personal account
thank you for the info and explanation that you gave above. now I became convinced that the value of bitcoin can not be replaced with gold or so forth .
the most important thing now for all of us to keep the spirit of investing in bitcoin. because bitcoin is a digital effort that can provide great opportunities and opportunities for us to become successful people (millionaires / millionaires)
