According to Odaily, Messari Co-Founder, Dan McArdle, has expressed that Bitcoin and gold have always attracted people due to their shared fundamental driving factors. In his statement on platform X, McArdle pointed out the many overlapping areas between the two assets.
In the early stages, when Bitcoin users were just beginning to realize that Bitcoin was more suitable for modern society, gold had already failed. The reason for this failure, as McArdle explains, is that gold is easily centralized and governments have botched everything related to the gold standard.
McArdle's comments highlight the ongoing debate between the traditional and digital assets. While both Bitcoin and gold have their unique advantages, the decentralization of Bitcoin seems to give it an edge in the modern world. However, the discussion continues as both assets continue to play significant roles in the global economy.
