"Bitcoin isn’t gold" - Ray Dalio I agree to an extent. BTC has been behaving unpredictably - M2, gold, global liquidity… But Dalio’s argument that it can’t be compared to gold because it lacks central bank backing, privacy, and faces quantum risk is debatable. Firstly, Central bank backing isn’t what makes money sound. It’s scarcity and credibility. Gold had that before central banks adopted it. Bitcoin simply formalizes it with code. Secondly, transparency isn’t a flaw. Public settlement is exactly why Bitcoin can function as neutral collateral in a digital economy. Lastly, is the quantum threat. It’s a valid concern, but it’s being actively worked on - quantum wallets and other post-quantum cryptography advancements. Regardless, these ‘risks’ are why BTC is a fraction of gold’s market cap. A true bargain. Once resolved, there’s no telling how high the price will go.
