Gold
The Case For Gold
Proven store of value for 5,000+ years. Physical, tangible, and universally recognized. Zero counterparty risk if held physically.
- ✔ Less volatile than crypto
- ✔ Tax advantages in many jurisdictions
- ✔ Functions offline / off-grid
- ✘ Harder to transport/divide large amounts
Bitcoin
The Case For Bitcoin
The hardest money ever created. Fixed supply of 21M. Portable, censorship-resistant, and divisible. The "Digital Gold" of the internet age.
- ✔ Massive growth potential (Asymmetric bet)
- ✔ Instantly transferable globally
- ✔ Easy to secure (Hardware wallet)
- ✘ Extreme volatility
THE SCARCITY DEBATE
Comparing the physics of the atom vs the mathematics of the bit. Why the modern prospector holds both.
Gold supply increases by ~2% annually. BTC supply halving ensures terminal scarcity.
Both require 'Proof of Work' — one thermal/caloric, one electrical.
BTC has surpassed gold as the scarcest asset on the planet by SF metrics.
Gold excels in local commerce without electricity. BTC excels in global flight.

The Verdict: Why Not Both?
Many modern investors view Gold and Bitcoin as complementary. Gold is your defensive shield (Wealth Preservation), while Bitcoin is your spear (Wealth Expansion). A healthy portfolio might target a 5-10% allocation to these hard assets.
