You know what's wild? Silver had literally thousands of years to prove itself as digital gold, yet Bitcoin managed to outperform it in just a single decade.



Think about the fundamentals. Silver's supply keeps expanding whenever miners dig deeper. Bitcoin? That's capped at 21 million coins forever—full stop. Once you hit that ceiling, there's no more to mint.

Then there's the practical side. Silver is heavy, physical, a pain to transport and store. Bitcoin moves at internet speed—send it anywhere on the planet in minutes. No vaults needed, no shipping hassles.

On inflation hedging, sure, silver tracks price levels. But Bitcoin? It's built different. A truly scarce, digitally native asset that doesn't dilute. That's the shift happening in how people think about store-of-value assets in the crypto era.

NGL, Bitcoin's supply cap is indeed a solid logic... But does the thousands of years of historical accumulation of silver really mean it has no value at all?

Honestly, Bitcoin over the past ten years has really outperformed silver.

NGL, after all these years, I still haven't figured out silver. Bitcoin has been crushing it for ten years, and the gap is really outrageous.

Bitcoin has really outshined silver, haha... A veteran of a thousand years losing to a ten-year rookie, it's embarrassing to even talk about it. The 21 million cap is a brilliant move; silver can be mined endlessly with no limit on supply, can it be the same? It's just physically incomparable. Moving silver is exhausting, while BTC can be transferred globally in seconds with a flick of a finger. This is the future.
