What makes Bitcoin Better Than Anything Else!!

[Eagleyes669]

I've started Seeing People around me Questioning whether Bitcoin has The Capacity to be better than anything else or Is it better than Anything Else. That's being Asked for what? Almost 17 years Now and People still haven't stopped Questioning Bitcoin After It proving Itself For Such a Long Time. But as long as these questions are asked posts like this will be getting posted. this Post is another Post To Prove to people that it's Better than Anyting Else Available.

SCARCITY VS ABSOLUTE SCARCITY
Gold Is Scarce, Bitcoin Is Absolute Scarce. People say What does Bitcoin have to Make people choose it instead of Gold. Gold is also Scarce, and it's a Great Hedge against inflation too the best thing is that it has been around for Centuries. The Answer to That is, Bitcoin Is Absolute Scarce, No matter how Much the Demand of Bitcoin increases And How much People wants to get it The Fixed Amount 21 Million Is not Going To change, while in contrast if The Demand for gold increases than it is Now There will come a Method To extract More Gold. which directly restricts the long term value of Gold.

ACCESIBLE STORE OF VALUE!!
People Earn Money By working, and that money needs to be Stored. Fiat is a Store of Value that Provides Accesibility, you can use it to pay for your Coffee or your Gym membership but it is a Horrible store of Value. Each and Every Day More and More Fiat is Getting Printed which makes the person storing his Value in Fiat poorer. So Fiat is Accesible Not A Good Store of Value. Talking About Gold, it has proved itself to be a great store Of Value But we don't live in the medieval times to use it as an Everyday currency. So Gold is a Good store of Value but Not Accesible. but Talking About Bitcoin it is a 2in1 package where it is a Great Store of Value alongside being a better Accesible currency than Fiat. So Bitcoin Is Accesible as Well As a Great Store of Value

PORTABILITY & SOVEREIGNTY
This is where traditional Assets Fall Apart completely. You can own Land, Gold or Even Fiat but when you try to cross a border that ownership stops being fully In your control. You can't Take your Land With you, Taking gold gets questioned Taxed and even confiscated but Bitcoin, people don't even know you have Bitcoin. You don't need Permission to Move it, and you don't even need to declare it. Bitcoin is A borderless currency that Gives the Freedom to move your assets anywhere and any time You want.

As people start to understand, like me. Will choose No other Asset than Bitcoin and this recent dumps will Prove heaven for their Bitcoin accumulation.

Your post is really annoying with arbitrary capitalization of characters here and there.

Your content is nothing new but honestly I only scanned it as it is too annoying and hard for me to read your post completely with arbitrary bold and capitalization. I don't like this posting style honestly.

There is a Bitcoin book that is fortunately free access on Medium, but you can buy it on Amazon if you like reading a paper book. It can help you with more insights and add more information to your points written in this topic.

The bullish case for Bitcoin. It's is on Amazon too.

I don't know, it's like a topic for merit as you quickly posted for merit in WO, and you know El Duderino well.

It currently looks as though BTC, regardless of its scarcity, has been neutered by TPTB not unlike gold and silver were brought under control decades earlier.
There are real world uses for gold and silver, central banks buy gold.

Accessability: How many BTC have been lost due to seedphrase mishaps and similar disasters?

But OK, I was playing advocatus diaboli and am willing to appreciate the points you make. Your hypotheses can be tested. If this thing is as great as its supporters make it out to be, and I am willing to consider the possibility, then these superior properties should manifest itself in the asset's price development.

Since autumn 2021, BTC's price trajectory and yearly gains have been a serious disappointment, having been outperformed by numerous investment classes and assets. It has become nothing less than an embarassement to tell someone that one holds BTC.

In my book, the matter is pretty straight: If BTC recovers from most of its disastrous crash over the next 3-6 months, I shall be willing to consider your hypothesis as still potentially valid. If not, I for one will gradually reduce my holdings and exposure to an insignifant share of my portfolio. I am certain that milllions out there are weighing similar thoughts, and I would speculate that significant overhead pressure, for lack of a more accurate term, is caused by holders who could seek to leave the space and now weighing down on the price like a ton of bricks. I would also presume that this effect has been increasing over time, in line with BTC's fast declining performance over the past five or so years.

I am not interested in technicalities and in BTC maxis preaching to me in a naive fashion about BTC's USPs. What I am interested in are honest discussions and rational explanations as to why BTC's price has been failing to lift off, in spite of its scarcity, despite rising global awareness, despite US ETFs, etc.

You didn't write the most important thing about bitcoin which is her decentralized nature, scalability and censorship resistance. This is why bitcoin is unique and different from other asset which increases the rate of adoption overtime.

The halving gives bitcoin the opportunity to create a new ATH pricw in every new circle and that has triggered more investors who are looking for how to preserve the value of their wealth overtime to invest in bitcoin since it's a store of value overtime.

What makes Bitcoin Better Than Anything Else!!


If the IRS tries to tax you on money made through Bitcoin, they can't really. Why not? Because there isn't really anything there. Bitcoin isn't anything at all.

But the IRS will win if you don't know how to show them that there isn't anything to Bitcoin.

I would have to agree that Bitcoin is a good asset to keep. It has proved over the years to be stable and profitable. However, we cannot say that Bitcoin is better than all other assets. Every asset or currency has its strengths and weaknesses. You should also know that diversification of assets is good.

As people start to understand, like me. Will choose No other Asset than Bitcoin and this recent dumps will Prove heaven for their Bitcoin accumulation.

The price drop is a golden oppurtunuty to buy discounted Bitcoin. Long term holders will find this period good to keep accumukatung because there will always be a bull market.

Almost every asset has this feature which op mentioned but what makes bitcoin better is the fact that its decentralised, the other features of bitcoin is comparable with other assets but however privacy is one thing that I loved but is failing gradually as long as bitcoin is becoming more closer to government and fitting to regulations that are seriously against us.

You mentioned scarcity, but you didn't mention about volatility, OP, because even though scarcity is the reason for its higher volatility, but it's still a different point because I believe around 90% of the people in this industry are here only for the volatility part because it allows them to make money, and making money is the primary goal of every human being these days. So Bitcoin, as an investment asset, is different and better than others because it has a low supply and a high demand, which makes its value extremely volatile, creating opportunities for you to make great profits over time.

The point about carrying your money when moving from one place to another is a very good example and point. So many people might not think of it this way, but it's actually something very simple yet effective. When you need to take money with you to another country, you can always rely on Bitcoin, and you don't even need to hold them in your own wallet, if you have something from there that you know, you can ask them to create a wallet using a non-custodial wallet service, and then you can transfer the bitcoins to that address, and when you reach there, you can take custody of your assets.

bitcoin has been getting doubted for years and it is still aound gold is scarce but btc is hard capped  21M no surprises. fiat keeps getting printed into oblivion all the while bitcoin just sticks to the script majority of the time portability you can not move land or gold easy but btc crosses borders with zero drama. debate it all you want some people are just stacking and treating dips like a sale.

Bitcoin is better then other coins because is minimized your risk when you invest in it because when using DCA method you can have a peaceful mind because you are investing in what you can afford to lose, bitcoin make you have privacy in your funds and know one can get access to touch your bitcoins investment except you share your private key to others or mistakenly lose it and someone took it and get access to it, you just need to be careful when keeping your private keys in a place that know one can get access to it.

Bitcoins have a lot of things that make it better then other asset but till you join the market and get experience about bitcoin and knowledge you will surly see how he helps slot then others.

There are now ETFs for gold, silver and other commodities and the same goes for Bitcoin. And with the lands and real estate properties, they have the REITs. But it's still best to own Bitcoin, it's your asset that you can bring anywhere you can. There's no one that will know that you own it unless you reveal it to the others. Whilst for the other assets, it will be known that you own some of it because they're visible and tangible even with the ETFs, you'll have to be registered under your name with the platforms that does that. With bitcoin, you'll also do the same but you can always tell others that you have already liquidated it so that they will have no clue of what you're having still.

[Ucy]

Bitcoin is better compared with fiat than gold because its main purpose is to serve as a reliable alternative to fiat, especially in cyberspace where freedom in relation to fiat will be much more restricted, and abuse of digital fiat will be greater than its physical version.
Bitcoin is opposite of what fiat represents. It is an online equivalent of real physical currency that's naturally occurring, requires lots of hardwork to mine, is hard to counterfeit, not centrally controlled, can't be inflated at will hence acts as a suitable Store of Value.
Ofcourse, it's easy to move around, and this feature will be more useful during troubled times when people will be running from place to place trying to escape dangers. And you don't need to tell anyone how much you own while moving abroad unlike others that are typically declared at borders, airports, etc. And if you don't transport them physically they get held on your behalf by government controlled institutions and known by entity who knows alot about their owners and capable of determining whether they are threats or not. And can also control or frustrate them with that much information.

Finally, in regards to the dumps, they happened because of wrong people pretending to be price movers. There could be massive pumps from now on if they could be silent for a while and stop pretending to be what they are not.

Two highlighted misinterpretations about bitcoin there is that it is privacy oriented and also scalable, let’s be clear bitcoin isn’t as scalable as we would want it to be and at least the soft fork of Segwit was able to increase it’s scalability power but yet not to a certain extent which we all want and that’s why you see the network usually congested when there is lot of transactions happening and leading to many unconfirmed transactions and most people paying very high fees for fast transaction confirmation.

As for privacy it is never a privacy oriented coin because all transactions are actually public on the blockchain, with bitcoin you can only stay anonymous and not private, which is a clear difference.

[xbetz.io]

Bitcoin doesn’t need to be “better than everything” in every single dimension to be valuable. What makes it different is the combination of properties: a fixed and predictable supply, global portability, censorship resistance and ownership that doesn’t rely on physical custody or third parties. Gold, fiat and other assets each solve parts of the problem but Bitcoin combines monetary scarcity with digital transferability in a way that didn’t previously exist. That combination is where its long-term relevance comes from, not any single feature in isolation.

I can't agree more, the features you denoted are the main reasons of why bitcoin is where it is supposed to be. It is unique, better than alts in many ways, but if we are to discuss hard or soft forks of bitcoin or in other words, the existence of alts started from bitcoin so it has to be better than alts.

Halving and all the feature are now not unqiue to bitcoin anymore but many altcoins have the very same features but still why they all talk about bitcoin? Because it is the first one to streamline the path for others to follow. Therefore it is unique and better.

[Nathrixxx]

Bitcoin may not be better than everything because each of them serve their various purposes, we can't afford to use Bitcoin in place of other things because they all have their way of how they are made applicable or our use, bitcoin cannot also be denied being a multifaceted digital currency, because we can make use of it on different purpose and has a long time value.

[serjent05]

Aside from the given points by @op, i think he failed to mention the very thing that made Bitcoin popular abive the rest. The decentralization feature of bitcoin and being immutable is what excels it  from the rest.

With decentralization, the government will be having a hard time to fully control it.  Being immutable protect the system from fraud and modification of transactions after sending and confirmed.  These two feature makes Bitcoin to be the most trusting among the trustless system.

[Cleanslate_]

Bitcoin is unique and consider superior to anything else or any other crypto because  of its decentralization, edge control over inflation, it's store of value, it removes need for central intermediaries high security and above all the fixed supply of 21 million bitcoin that makes it scares, it's well recognized globally.

Despite the claims from released Epstein files, and some saying Bitcoin might crash to zero, I see otherwise due to large institutional adoption and investment, mostly during these bear seasons, with large pocket investors willing to buy more just to accumulate and increase their portfolio as those who panic to sell, do so without thinking of a possibility of bullish season sooner than later.
Bitcoin is better and better everyday with so many policies and strategic reserve banks being developed on its behalf, just to incorporate it into the society as a top performing currency and asset of value for both payments and saving plan of the future and present.

[d5000]

There are real world uses for gold and silver, central banks buy gold.

If it was only for the "real world use cases" (industrial usage), gold prices would be a fraction of today's value. Jewelry doesn't count because gold jewels are usually bought as a store of value (or long-term speculation).

Since autumn 2021, BTC's price trajectory and yearly gains have been a serious disappointment, having been outperformed by numerous investment classes and assets.

The lower growth of Bitcoin's price is expected as volatility lowers and it becomes more stable and reliable. It is a sign of a more mature market and increasing liquidity: if the price is perceived as very high, many holders including early adopters and whales will sell a part of their stash, like they did in 2024 and 2025. But that means these BTC will often not be sold during downturns (like it occurred in earlier bull runs), and probably make bear markets less deep.

Even if it didn't seem so if you look at the 60k dip, volatility is already much lower than in 2021 (the current dip only managed to reach the levels of the December 2025 dip, and both were less volatile than the March 2025 dip and the 2024 dips, see realtime data).

Of course if you take a price spike and then compare the evolution after that price spike with it it will always be "disappointing". But no popular asset can deliver such dramatic spikes like in 2013 or 2017 forever. These spikes were possible because Bitcoin back then was basically a penny stock and dramatically undervalued.

A good idea is to look at indicators like the 200 WMA (4 year moving average price) which filters out profit taking-related crashes and FOMO-related bull spikes. If it still grows then everything is okay.

In my opinion, Bitcoin's price curve will further reduce its growth rate, but if the next bear market low is significantly over 70% below the previous ATH (as of now, the low was about 52% below the ATH, so we're still on track), then there's progress also regarding the volatility to the downside. And that will make its growth more reliable, and crashes will be less steep.

And if Bitcoin gets really mass adopted, then even a further strong price spike like at least 2021 is possible. This will however only happen imo if Bitcoiners don't freak out and prevent these big crashes in the future (by hodling/trading accordingly and/or foster "as a currency" adoption). Bitcoin is a social system, its price depends on humans' and groups' decisions.

Gold Is Scarce, Bitcoin Is Absolute Scarce.

Scarcity does not mean "low supply" or "static supply". It means: "demand is higher than supply (if price is higher than zero)"

It is of course easier to achieve scarcity if the supply doesn't grow. But as many altcoins show, a static supply alone does not guarantee scarcity.
