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.Opening6.8
A new technology or a major rule change could hit Bitcoin in a way that cannot happen to a metal. For example, gold is used in jewellery, electronics and by central banks. Its demand does not depend on one network. That is why I stand on this side.Rebuttal6.8
You keep coming back to "already", but that only tells half the story. Gold is used in jewellery, electronics and by central banks. Its demand does not depend on one network. That matters because it is what happens in practice, not just in theory.Rebuttal8.8
My opponent leans hard on jewellery. That ignores the bigger picture. Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. Gold miners can always dig up more. My opponent skipped this, which means their case has a hole in the middle.Closing6.6
Gold had thousands of years. Bitcoin is catching up at internet speed. Remember, it moves across the world in minutes and can be split into tiny pieces, which gold cannot do. For all these reasons, I stand by my side.Closing7.9
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. For all these reasons, I stand by my side.
