Gold has been humanity's trusted store of value for 5,000 years. But is Bitcoin becoming something better?
In this episode of The Daily Wolf, Scott Melker compares gold and Bitcoin across the characteristics that define a store of value, including scarcity, durability, portability, verifiability and censorship resistance. He explains why gold earned its place in financial history, how Bitcoin was designed to solve many of gold's modern limitations, and why the shift from gold to Bitcoin may already be underway.
