Can Bitcoin be kept as generational wealth ?

[Tom Ronald]

The fact that Gold market capitalization is larger compared to Bitcoin can’t be overlooked but i would rather keep adding Bitcoin to my portfolio than holding on to Gold for several years. I’m aware some would rather invest in Gold for its long-term stability and also for generational wealth purpose which is applaudable reason why I’m curious if you can keep Bitcoin for generational wealth.

[_act_]

The world has been positive about bitcoin, including the government. Almost all the world governments do not against bitcoin. If you want to keep it for a very long time, it is a store of value and a generational wealth.

You can diversify. Although I prefer to just go for bitcoin because it is easy to store and purchase.

Bitcoin is more fungible, and more convenient to use than physical gold bars. Bitcoin is more secured than gold too, and even Bitcoin and Gold belong to different asset categories, comparison between them is not actually good.

In marketcap, you can see Bitcoin and Gold market caps.

Bitcoin is far behind gold in marketcap but one decade ago, noone thought Bitcoin can go far like it achieved in 2024 and 2025 with very high market cap $1.896 T like now. Biggest difference between Bitcoin and gold is their total supplies. Bitcoin is limited, capped at 21M bitcoins, and gold is not limited with unknown mineable gold on Earth and possible on asteroids and other planets in future.

When it comes to generational wealth you can think of Bitcoin. Infact Bitcoin is the best asset for long term purpose. Many folks can chose to invest in gold for all they care, but I don't see any reason to invest in Gold for all I care. Gold market cap may be higher than that of Bitcoin, but we should also remember that Gold has been in existence for decades, but Bitcoin has just been around since 15 to 16year now and  has gain recorgnition. If Bitcoin can be in existence for some couple of years now and has gain this recorgnition, then by 30years time from now Bitcoin will increase tremendously. So Bitcoin is an asset worthy of investing.

If you buy gold worth of $100, in the next 20 years even you sold it for $1K, the purchasing power of $1K in the future is worth for $100, so technically you didn't make anything after 20 years.

While Bitcoin, if you buy it worth of $100, in the next 20 years you old it for $3K, the purchasing power of $3K might would be $1K, so you're making 10x after 20 years.

If I'm a billionaire, I will turn most of my money into gold. Unfortunately I'm not, so I go most on Bitcoin.

Nothing against Gold, but there might be sometime in the future that Bitcoin will be in parity with Gold and if that happens, then it's really better to invest into Bitcoin this early and maybe wait for that to happen in the future.

At least we still have time, perhaps, 1 Bitcoin=$500k or even 1 million is possible and with that, we can call it a generational wealth or at least we can share and put it as a inheritance to the next generation. Our kids and their kids could live a good life because of our initial investment on Bitcoin.

Indeed, storing gold is quite cumbersome but we cannot rely on that and claim that Bitcoin is safer than gold because the internet world is even riskier than the real world. Furthermore, to evaluate which asset is safer, we need to have an overall assessment such as popularity, legality, liquidity....and I don't think bitcoin is superior to gold.

Gold has a larger supply but the demand and practical applications of gold are many times greater than bitcoin. That is why humans have been mining gold for over a thousand years and hundreds of thousands of tons of gold have been mined but there has never been enough gold to meet our needs. Not to mention, gold mining is extremely complex and expensive, and that only causes gold prices to continue to rise instead of falling as many people think.

Yes, but you have to have a good plan to be able to transfer it if you die unexpectedly while being careful how you do it, especially if you manage it with your private keys. If you have a mutual fund, or stocks, or a bitcoin ETF the moment you die it passes to your heirs but if only you know where a copy of your seeds are and no one will find them if you die unexpectedly those coins are lost. Or as Satoshi would say, you donate them to the community but they are not inherited by whoever you wanted.

I'll try to keep even for a bit for my offspring and to the next generation if I can. But if it doesn't permit and I have to sell for survival, I have no choice. This is what's good with Bitcoin, it's now become an asset that can be passed on to the next generation. It's here to stay and just like gold, it is a wealth that we can keep while we're on it and considered still quite early. Many don't think that it's going to be as good as it is now but later on they will realize, they'd feel bad and late for it.

The bullish case for Bitcoin is an informative book with a lot of insights and from this book, you can have some comparison between Bitcoin and gold. The author wrote about predictive future that Bitcoin will grow up more, get better adoption and Lindy effect can make Bitcoin stronger and stronger considerably with time, like how gold achieved it through thousand of years.

It's worthy to say about impressive growth of Bitcoin compares to gold, and Bitcoin is unprecedented thing with its exponential growth rate, better than both Gold and Internet adoption curves.

Bitcoin as a generational wealth can not be over emphasis because it has been proven beyond every reasonable doubt, have you thought of those who where opportutned to invest in Bitcoin in it's earliest days and was able to hold till date? The increment is significant enough for anyone to validate such doubt or curiosity of asking whether if Bitcoin holds a generational wealth potential, indeed it is a store of value and safe haven for a future and generational wealth for those that values it because one most surely determines what means to him or her, there are those who believes and there are also those who doesn't believe but yeah anyone can do whatever they like.

Actually, the concept is not much different, only BTC is not real and cannot be held like gold worn by women. BTC can be narrowed down to digital gold and if it is broader, it is an investment vehicle that is capable and has good defense with a supply that has no more words of addition and subtraction.

The case of people hodling gold is also the same if they are negligent, BTC is stolen, it is also the same if they forget to save the phrase or are careless, like to tell and show off, they will also feel bad things. For profit, it is also the same, even more sensational than gold, although we admit that the market is quite volatile. Many have set that if they have BTC, they will call a third party to give their BTC to their wife and children according to the law and fairly one day when they die.

Bitcoin has much more potential and use cases.
You put your value into something that only grows in value as time goes on. Simply as that.
And it does so better than gold.

flexibility, security and complete control are all in your hands, then of course Bitcoin is the only store of value that does not burden you wherever you go as long as you hold the right key. While gold is ideal but at the end of the day you will create a 3rd party to hold the asset and when you need a large amount you need to go through various special stages. Bitcoin can be easily withdrawn anytime, anywhere without any special requirements. This is the reason why bitcoin is a concept that can be accepted by everyone in the world.

I think Bitcoin is a great idea to hold onto for the next generations.

Gold is simply too inconvenient to handle in the real world, and the so-called digital gold is not the same as Bitcoin because you can't verify independently your ownership.

Keeping Bitcoin in your own wallet, and passing it to the next generation seems like a very smart thing to do.

Just remember to keep it off the exchanges... not your keys, not your coins.

If you use the search feature, you will find hundreds of topics that talked about gold and Bitcoin and the investment relationship between them. Therefore, although gold is a means of preserving value against inflation and political changes. Bitcoin can be a good investment asset in theory due to its increasing value and limited supply, but this does not prevent you from diversifying your investments from gold, Bitcoin, stocks, and others.

[apogio]

There are use cases for gold, of course (jewels, construction, electronics).
Gold is also scarce, that's why its price is going up relative to FIAT, making it a good store of value.

Bitcoin has use cases as well. It's mostly used as exchange medium for multiple products and services (a.k.a currency).
It's also scarce, making it a great store of value.

Based on that, and of course without giving any financial advice, I believe Bitcoin can be kept as generational wealth.

Gold's market capitalization is larger compared to Bitcoin but Bitcoin's market capitalization is on the path of reaching or surpassing gold, so for long-term financial profit, Bitcoin is a better choice, and a little riskier than gold. For leaving generational wealth, I would choose a secure Bitcoin hardware wallet and would safely store recovery seeds. This way, my funds would be safe and no one would be able to freeze my assets, nor would they be able to steal it because it doesn't take much space unlikely gold and you don't depend on 3rd parties.

IMO it's easier to own a Bitcoin than gold because you can buy Bitcoin with your device at home through an exchange. Bitcoin is a good store of value and can be used as generational wealth. It's easy to buy bitcoin but hard to keep for long term, especially someone who's no discipline, he can sell his holding immediately he then sees that Bitcoin depreciate a little. However, if want to keep Bitcoin so your family can inherit it, must be that you also teaches them about Bitcoin so they won't misuse it if they have full access to it.

The advantage of gold over bitcoin is just the stability to hold values in a long term and while you talk about wealth, gold stands better for generation inheritance but be it sure that the tendencies of adding in values will less to bitcoin if we considers it a long term goal.
So if we also talk about assets, bitcoin holds it authenticatedly because it volatile potential is a grooming to acquire higher values while it fluctuates between the bears and the bulls.
Knowing quite well that bitcoin usually do experiences annually events in every 4 years which turns to breaking new Aths as a season of it significant market performance to value increments.
If I'm not wrong generation year distance is between 20 to 30 years and now let's look at this factor to figure the two valuable assets historical performance and their possiblities of future performances.
We know goldehas exited for decades while bitcoin has only been for 16 years now. Making this comparison from 2009 when bitcoin was launched, then gold was at $1,100 per ounce while bitcoin was on $0 until it gained ait first value at $0.00076. so in distance matter up to date in the interval of 16 years that bitcoin hasn't been up to a generational duration of least 20 years, bitcoin has sustained a a valuable margin of $96,000 + as at when I'm making this post While gold is $2,800 + and in the past 4 years events in their various markets, bitcoin has sustained valuable volume of 117.6% while gold has achieved volume of 44.9%. I guess the difference is clearly notes that in a matter of time holding bitcoin is far profitable than gold which then would serve as reserve of values potentially on increase of values against the future.
While still taking Walk around in figure of which of the asset is good to store values for generations to come, it'd be a hands down beaten of bitcoin over gold if we also consider their historical performances such as breaking out of their recent ATH, then is withnessed that bitcoin has achieved an Ath of $109,993 While gold is $2,942.
The value of bitcoin has really surpassed the value of gold because bitcoin has a limited figure of 21 millions while gold is beyond measures. For this, if you can store your values on bitcoin within the range of a generation duration, you're sure to see atleast 5 bull run season which is mutilation of your initial value while gold maybe slightly volatile it holding value within the period might seem stable with less profit returns as bitcoin may perform.
