Bitcoin cryptocurrency is gradually becoming a true storehouse of value in the digital age.
Bitcoin (BTC) will eventually surpass gold in total market value, according to analyst Ibrahim Choshar, who noted that the digital currency is absolutely scarce and technically impossible to counterfeit. Unlike precious metals, whose supply can be continually increased, counterfeited, or limited through physical regulation, Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins and will never change.
According to Choshar, Bitcoin represents a true form of financial freedom and is becoming the money of the future—transparent, decentralized, and beyond government control. All transactions on the network are public, immutable, and confirmed by distributed consensus, eliminating any manipulation of the supply.
Gold, by contrast, has numerous vulnerabilities. It can be counterfeited, its price distorted through paper money and derivatives trading, and storing and transporting large volumes of the precious metal remains complex and expensive. Furthermore, it is subject to confiscation and restrictions by authorities, making it a less versatile means of preserving wealth.
The expert emphasized that Bitcoin's price can only be manipulated at the trading platform level, not within the protocol itself. The code and operating principles preclude any interference with the supply or network structure.
This fundamentally distinguishes the BTC cryptocurrency from all traditional assets and makes it a “fair and just monetary system.” Choshar has repeatedly emphasized that Bitcoin's price can be manipulated, but its supply cannot. In his opinion, gold will remain a historical symbol of wealth, but in the 21st century, BTC is becoming the true store of value.
