My Take: Why BTC Trumps Tokenized Gold
The #BTCVSGOLD debate is back, especially with the tokenization trend, but let's be crystal clear: Tokenized Gold is not Bitcoin.
Tokenized gold ($PAXG , $XAUT, etc.) attempts to bring gold's stability to the blockchain, but it remains a centralized, "trust-me-bro" asset. You still rely on a custodian, an auditor, and a legal structure to ensure the physical gold is actually in the vault and redeemable. This is the definition of counterparty risk.
Bitcoin ($BTC ), on the other hand, is the original, permission less, and trustless digital asset. Its scarcity (21 million hard cap) is guaranteed by mathematics and decentralized network consensus, not by a third-party promise. You can verify the entire supply and every transaction yourself.
Gold is Old Money. Tokenized Gold is Old Money with a digital wrapper. Bitcoin is the Future of Money. For true sovereignty, absolute scarcity, and censorship resistance, Bitcoin reigns supreme.
I choose the orange coin every time.
