Bitcoin will be worth more than gold one day.
Opening6.3
It moves across the world in minutes and can be split into tiny pieces, which gold cannot do. For example, big funds and some countries already hold it, so it is no longer only a hobby. That is why I stand on this side.Opening7.8
Gold is used in jewellery, electronics and by central banks. Its demand does not depend on one network. For example, bitcoin can fall by half in months, and a store of value is supposed to stay calm. Start there and the rest follows.Rebuttal7.4
My opponent leans hard on longer. That ignores the bigger picture. Bitcoin can fall by half in months, and a store of value is supposed to stay calm. My opponent skipped this, which means their case has a hole in the middle.Rebuttal8.7
You keep coming back to "picture", but that only tells half the story. Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. Gold miners can always dig up more. Look at real examples and this is the pattern you see again and again.Closing6.1
Gold had thousands of years. Bitcoin is catching up at internet speed. Remember, big funds and some countries already hold it, so it is no longer only a hobby. For all these reasons, I stand by my side.Closing7.6
Gold survived every crisis in history. Bitcoin has not had to yet. Remember, a new technology or a major rule change could hit Bitcoin in a way that cannot happen to a metal. That is why this side should win today.
