Part 6/11:
In terms of divisibility, Bitcoin outperforms gold convincingly. Gold can only be divided to a degree that ruins its physical integrity; meanwhile, Bitcoin can be fractioned down to 100 million satoshis with precision, making it perfect for everyday microtransactions and financial efficiency.
Another critical point is portability. Gold, even in small amounts, involves logistics—loading, shipping, securing—resembling a “furniture moving war zone,” Livingston quips. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is teleportation for capital; a few keystrokes and wealth can be transferred across borders instantaneously, at any time, and without middlemen or physical risk.
