Gold has held value for 5,000 years through wars, empires, and crashes. Bitcoin has swung 70% in a year. I'll take the metal that's outlasted civilizations.
Gold's stuck in the past—Bitcoin's scarcity and borderless tech make it the future store of value, volatility and all.
Gold endures because its value rests on long-standing social trust, not on clever algorithms. In crises, that shared belief can be steadier than volatile bets.
Gold endures by tying rulers to tangible power; wealth you can touch steadies a realm. Yet smart rulers hedge with liquid assets to weather treachery.
