Some people are still referring to bitcoin as digital gold and it is acting like it in adoption. Bitcoin is not a global macroeconomic tool.


Examples of global macroeconomic tools are central bank policies, international trade agreements currency exchange rate policies and many others.

Bitcoin is a store of value

I do not know if it can evolve further as mainstream payment network but it can be used at anytime at anywhere there is internet which is what that is important.

Bitcoin is part of many people's portfolio already

Yes it is a political asset already.

Don't you think to go further, BTC would need to adapt and become something that would be used more in the transactions, other than just hodling it all the time?

Bitcoin indeed still is and had the option to be a payment option - however, as for now, it is mainly used for bigger transactions, not the ones that you make daily via fiat.

And what would be the endpoint for BTC adoption, in that case? Everybody accepting it as an ultimate store of value?

I see more options there As BTC, first and foremost, was intended as an alternative to the traditional systems.

My biased point of view.
Bitcoin is more than been a digital gold since it covers more than gold like scarcity or an hedge during crisis.
It is a decentralized payment method and a proof that financial sovereignty is possible. Not excluding it's flaws


Indirectly but it's still Young not to mention has no central head.

Bitcoin is first a decentralized P2P payment method. Store of value is just a side effect of its potential and hedge towards inflation.
Yes. One thing that has never seized in Bitcoin is continuous development to cover it's flaws. No system is perfect.

No endpoint to its adoption is people finally accepting financial freedom.

And it still is. Can you tell me an alternative to traditional system if it's not Bitcoin?
There was gap in the market for those that wanted self custody and Bitcoin was a solution
And still is.

For me Bitcoin is digital gold, although surely many people disagree, but from what I get today from Bitcoin is a tool to withstand money inflation in my country and become an asset to add the value of money that I have saved in it, Bitcoin even though it can be considered more than investment assets, but I treat it like gold, which is to save in the long run and be a store of value.

You can consider them as gold, physical gold and digital gold, and as store of value, hedge against inflation, but Bitcoin ourperforms gold since 2009.

The ROI chart shows you this fact about gold and Bitcoin performances.

Bitcoin has limited supply, gold is not.
Bitcoin is fungible, gold is not.
Bitcoin is decentralized and it's harder for governments to seize your bitcoin if you store in self-custodial, not on centralized exchanges.

Generally Bitcoin has many advantages against Gold.

I think Bitcoin can still become store value besides of gold. But in the future, Bitcoin can be used for payment network transactions globally because that needs an agreement from all governments. But now, some countries already use Bitcoin as their strategic reserve and also store of value.

This is the beginning of a new chapter and will stronger than we were before. So Bitcoin for some people will be their digital gold because the value can give them the profit like they invested in gold.

I don't think it would be used for payments as of now or in the years to come , because it's not suited for that kind of activity.

But who knows, maybe eventually we will be there.

Bitcoin is scarce, a store of value, not issued by the government, an hedge against inflation and many more. These qualities are almost thesame with that of actual gold. I still think Bitcoin is a digital gold which will soon evolve into a macroeconomic tool.

• Although Bitcoin's main role was to serve as a means of payment, the obvious truth is that people prefer it more as an investment or asset since its value appreciates.
• Nothing is impossible  with Bitcoin,  so it can.
• 60/40%?, this i can't  really  tell
• Using the US government as a case study, i would say yes, it is becoming a political tool.

Yes you are right with all that and I also know it, we can also see the data from any side indeed Bitcoin is superior therefore considering digital gold is not a bad thing as a claim for Bitcoin.

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and we know the disadvantages highlighted are that there is no physical form and has a volatile market nature, but we like it.
