Part 9/11:
The security model of gold involves armed guards and complex logistics vulnerable to theft or confiscation. Bitcoin's security relies on cryptography and decentralized consensus — the enormous computational power of the network itself acts as a shield against attacks.
A thief would need an immense amount of resources, expertise, and luck to compromise Bitcoin, whereas stealing gold involves brute force — guns and physical break-ins. This makes Bitcoin not only more secure but also resistant to coercion or state interference.
The Future of Money
