Part 2/7:
Gold, a long-established safe haven for investors, is a finite resource, with its supply capped due to the limitations of mining. However, the creator argues that Bitcoin's total supply is even more restricted, limited to 21 million coins, which cannot increase over time. This fixed supply creates a stark contrast with gold, as increasing demand does not necessarily lead to an increase in the supply of Bitcoin, while higher prices for gold could prompt additional mining efforts.
Divisibility and Portability
One of the standout features of Bitcoin is its divisibility. Unlike gold, which is cumbersome to split into smaller increments, Bitcoin can be divided into much smaller units called satoshis. This ease of division makes Bitcoin accessible even to those who cannot afford a whole coin.
