Is Bitcoin replacing gold as the world's preferred store of value? In this episode, we dive into the ultimate debate: Bitcoin vs gold. We explore gold’s 5,000-year history as money, its real-world use in electronics and jewellery, and how it once settled million-pound property deals — even covering stories like Dutchy Waltz buying a farm with gold coins.

Then we contrast that with Bitcoin: a digital asset that’s grown faster than gold ever did, offering provable scarcity, instant global settlement, and a supply cap hardcoded at 21 million. We look at Bitcoin’s market cap, volatility, and real-world use cases like payments over the Lightning Network — including Square’s rollout to millions of merchants.

We also tackle key economic terms like unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value, with punchy analogies and quickfire counters to common gold bug arguments. From steak and eggs inflation metaphors to M2 money supply dilution, we ask the question: in a world that’s going digital, is physical gold still enough?
