In this video, I discuss why Bitcoin is a better store of value than physical gold.

Not only is Bitcoin easier to store, transport, and assay-- but Bitcoin is also much more scarce than gold. Bitcoin's maximum supply is fixed forever, whereas gold inventories keep doubling every 47 years.

Unlike other commodities, Bitcoin's supply is perfectly inelastic. Bitcoin does not respond to high prices by bringing on more supply, unlike every other commodity.

Once the market finally figures this out, we will see a large increase in the purchasing power of Bitcoin.

Man, we live in a wonderful time where zero cost education is available. It's hard to believe YT is the conduit for such high-quality information. Your content continues to be top quality. Much appreciated.

I've heard Michael Saylor make this argument. Gold bugs seem to miss this simple fact about unfixed supply vs BTC fixed supply. Thank you for clarifying the details. As usual, you comb through logic and reason arguments to prove your point, well done.

I appreciate the way you are willing to revisit questions, that you’ve already answered, many times, in a new and creative way. It’s really generous, and true to your purpose.

I think the thing that people will never get over, is, how can something be valuable that you can't touch, or does not represent a share of something that can be touched. It took me a long time to get it. However I think a video explaining that to people would be very well received.

Hi Matthew. New listener here. New restart to investing in Bitcoin using dollar to cost average rather than trying to time the market. Love listening to you. Shorter content yet more content than most. Love the way you articulate your points and your voice is calming. Lol.

I started buying gold at $1200 and BTC at $100. Gold used to be 40% my holding, and my 401k was 40%, and btc was 10%.

Today BTC is 80% of my holdings.

When you don't have anything to add, you just write an algo comment like I just did and support the channel! 200k this year Matthew!

The 'doubling rate' formula is something I use a lot, and have found it a very useful tool. Basically, you simply divide the annual percentage rate into 70. The formula has something to do with the square root of two I believe, but the precise details are unimportant.
So, for example, if the population is increasing by 5% per annum, the population will double every fourteen years. Or, as with your example of gold, if the supply increases by 1.5% p.a., it will double every 46-odd years.
This formula will demonstrate how even a small annual percentage increase will compound to a surprising, and sometimes alarming, degree. Even at the Fed's target rate of 2% inflation, the currency will devalue by half in 35 years.

Gold is an analog asset in a digital world. Bitcoin is the future of what gold used to be.

[jamesthompson]

Just a comment on gold from someone who was there, gold fell more than 70% over 19 years from 1980 to 1999 and took another 9 years to regain its old high. By then, though, the cumulative rate of CPI inflation was over 160%. At the 2020 high gold had still not quite equaled its 1980 high when corrected for CPI inflation. Stocks, by contrast, have massively outperformed CPI inflation over the same period. Gold can be a *very* long-term store of value but even over a couple of decades it can suffer severe losses and take another decade or more to fully recover.

I still like owning physical metals. Got quite a bit, but hey that's diversifying. Got some oil and other things too but yeah, bitcoin is my main holding.

[adiintel]

As some one who holds both moneys fantastic 👌 well explained video for people who hold gold and always bashing btc

[sethanon]

As always a like, a thanks, and a comment for the wonderful video . This video is very enlightening. Thanks 👍

Interesting side note... GOLD is the same price today as it was in 2011

[michaelbuick]

I'm a bitcoin maxi but I did hold a little bit of gold prior to that boating accident. Not a massive amount, only a few % of my net worth, before the fire...

I'm holding it as a speculative asset because I think Russia and especially the CCP have way more gold than they are letting on, and are in the process of pulling away from the dying US centric financial system. If they announced some Eastern bloc gold backed rival to the petrodollar then the overnight revaluation in gold would be enormous.

One can dream.

Even on a Bitcoin standard, what’s to prevent central banks from issuing “paper” Bitcoin and controlling its value by manipulating supply vs demand? They are almost certainly doing this now with gold because they don’t have to prove their reserves. I think the only way out of such a problem is to completely decouple Bitcoin from the traditional banking system.
