#比特币对比代币化黄金 $BTC CZ vs. Peter Schiff Debate: Can Digital Gold Surpass Physical Gold?

When it comes to fighting inflation, why has gold held its ground for thousands of years? It’s simply because it’s slow to mine, has a limited supply, and global annual production grows by just 1-2%. Plus, all central banks recognize it, giving it the status of an official reserve asset. But honestly, physical gold is cumbersome to transport and hard to divide—you can’t exactly use a gold bar to buy a cup of coffee, right?

Bitcoin operates on a different logic. With a hard cap of 21 million coins, its scarcity is locked in by code. More importantly, it’s decentralized—not influenced by any country’s policies, enables cross-border transfers in seconds, and can be split up to eight decimal places with ease. In just over a decade, it has already outperformed gold in terms of portability on a global scale.

Gold relies on historical consensus and central bank endorsement, while Bitcoin bets on technological trust and future narratives. Which is more valuable? That probably depends on whether you trust tradition or code.

After research and analysis, the hard cap of 21 million with a fixed issuance rule is indeed more transparent than gold mining’s annual 1-2% supply increase. But the problem is—the gold consensus backed by central banks has accumulated over thousands of years, while BTC has only been around for a little more than a decade. Can the trust foundation really be considered equivalent? Data shows that institutional holdings are increasing, but personally, I think we still need to pay attention to the movements of these major whale addresses and avoid blindly following out of greed.

The status of gold over thousands of years essentially comes down to consensus and endorsement by central banks. For Bitcoin to surpass it? It first needs to surpass the aura of official reserve assets in terms of confidence—that’s the real challenge.

The hard cap of 21 million is really impressive, but what if the central bank doesn't approve it...

The hard cap of 21 million is really impressive, but will those central bank people accept it? That's the real question.

Honestly, the belief in gold that's lasted thousands of years basically comes down to everyone agreeing on it, but with Bitcoin, it's the code that determines everything. Can it be changed? No, it can't. That's a huge difference.
