Can BTC truly be considered digital gold?

[cryptohog]

A: Bitcoin shares gold’s characteristics: finite supply, decentralized issuance, and censorship resistance. However, BTC’s smaller market cap (~$2.2T vs $2.9T for gold) makes it more volatile, meaning price swings are more extreme. Analysts recommend diversifying between BTC, gold, and other hard assets to manage risk.

It’s digital gold in concept — but still evolving toward gold’s global trust level.
