Have you ever thought about how risky it is to buy gold now?
The gold bar that looks perfect on the surface has passed basic tests, but upon opening it—there's tungsten mixed inside. As counterfeiting technology becomes more advanced, even professionals need to rely on laboratory analysis to distinguish the real from the fake, and often by the time you cut it open, melt it down, or send it for testing, it's already too late. The trust cost of gold is rising infinitely.
What about Bitcoin? It's a completely different logic.
Anyone, anywhere, can instantly verify the authenticity of Bitcoin with absolute certainty—no need to trust anyone, no permissions required, no intermediaries. No surface tests, no laboratories; the network itself enforces the truth.
In simple terms: gold relies on trust, expertise, and physical verification; Bitcoin relies on mathematics, code, and global consensus.
The methods of forgery are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and the trust cost of traditional assets is rising. However, Bitcoin completely eliminates this cost. This is the true significance of Bitcoin - it is not meant to replace gold, but to upgrade the validation of value from reliance on trust to mathematical reliability.

The thing about tungsten mixed with gold is indeed hard to hold back, the on-chain verification of Bitcoin is truly amazing.

I've heard about tungsten bars, it's outrageous. But saying that Bitcoin can be completely trusted just because of mathematics, that logic isn't flawless either. What about bank runs at exchanges and the loss of private keys?
