It is pretty much early to expect the masses to believe in the nascent currency, BTC, as a long-term store of value. However, the findings of the World Gold Council shows that there is a considerably high level of distrust of fiat currency all over the world. A total of 61% of the respondents said that they believed more in precious metal than any national currency. Whereas, 67 percent of the respondents said that they trust gold a safe haven against inflation of currency instability.

Bitcoin Represents a Harder Form of Money

Over the past years, many analysts have pointed out the correlation between Bitcoin (BTC) and gold. Historically, gold has been a better form of money than fiat currency. Today, Bitcoin (BTC) appears to be an even harder form of money. Gold found its use as a monetary unit due to the difficulty of forging it as well as its scarcity. Nevertheless, recent research revealed that gold is not as scarce as once thought. There are enormous reserves of gold within the earth itself, and also out in space. Once these resources are taped, the supply of gold would surge enormously.

However, when it comes to Bitcoin, the maximum supply will only be 21 million and no more. It also has an added advantage when it comes to transportation and storage. This asset can travel all over the world very quickly and you do not need a guarded vault to keep it safe. The only thing that Bitcoin (BTC) lacks when compared to gold is history. Nevertheless, this might change faster than people expect.
