2)Easier to divide:
Compared to gold, Bitcoin is easier to divide. The smallest unit of bitcoin is 1 satoshi, and a bitcoin can be divided into 100 million satoshis. At the same time, the Bitcoin split has almost no cost, while the golden section has a huge cost.
in the blockchain... there is no btc..
there is no 21mill limit rule
in gold in the ground there is no bars of 1tonne, 12kg. or ounces of 28 grams
there is no 195thousand tonne limit that then gets divided
..
the real limit and measures.. start small
miners mine sats and grams
its only 'basket termed' for easy human brain to understand big numbers after the mine
in 2009 the first block reward was not 50btc.
it was 5000000000sats. and every 4 years that reward number halves
for graphic user interface after the data fact. this is divided down by 100mill to become 1btc basket term
so technically your not splitting a bitcoin. your instead lumping sats into a btc basket
grams of gold can be lumped together into bags of kg gold or smelted into tonne bars
but humans years ago decided to lump gold into bars of 12,000 grams as their basket number
and a subset 28gram = 1 ounce
..
but the point is
bitcoin always is a unit of measure from sats -up
gold always is a unit of measure from gram -up
it only becomes basket terms down.. AFTER humans play around with it
some well-known investors like Robert Kiyosaki continue to call Bitcoin is 'digital gold'
I myself don't mind what they call Bitcoin but Bitcoin is actually not digital gold because its value is not based on gold. Bitcoin to me is more valuable than gold, the position of Bitcoin is higher than gold.
According to statistics, the total market value of global gold currently exceeds 8 trillion U.S. dollars. If the market value of Bitcoin exceeds 8 trillion U.S. dollars, the value of a single Bitcoin will exceed 400,000 U.S. dollars. This is just a judgment on Bitcoin's value as a "digital gold".
Why do many people call Bitcoin "digital gold"?
its an concept analogy..... not a asset-peg-reference
EG concept analogy :-yes
'its mined, like gold.. bit digitally'
EG pegged asset:- no
'its digitally backed by gold'
