Gold is of high value and can be verified in a way that is known to that kind of asset alone.
You can not verify gold by yourself and you have to rely on gold companies as well as quality check mark from any qualified entity to "believe" that physical gold bars you own or are interested to buy are actually good one in quality. While as always, there are many scammers in any industry so there is a lot of risk that you can buy fake gold bars or unqualified gold bars.
Real estate is still another kind of high-value asset, and people are making money from it.
With real estates, you have to rely to the others too and you never know about a real estate's construction quality and durability against physical threats. You again have to rely on third party entities for inspections for example.
With all of these numerous assets around, there is just one thing to understand: If its not Bitcoin, it can never be Bitcoin."
Bitcoin is one; no one can duplicate it. Everyone has the right to have any other verifiable assets in their name, as it doesnt have to be Bitcoin. Just get your facts right and do proper research. There are more than enough high value assets that are not linked to bitcoin. You can take agriculture for example.
With Bitcoin, it's very simple. Copy and paste a Bitcoin address to a block explorer, you can both easily and quickly check that address balance, and any amount of bitcoin shown in that address is truly real bitcoin, there is no chance and risk of fake coins there.
Do you remember a conversation between Changpeng Zao and Peter Schiff in a blockchain conference, on stage, CZ challenged Peter Schiff like how he can know a gold bar given by CZ is a real one.
Peter Schiff actually failed with this challenge, but it's not surprising at all.
