Imagine the scarcity of gold — all the gold ever mined on Earth, stacked together, would only form a small 21 cubic meter cube. Sounds unbelievable, right? But that's the reality.

And what about Bitcoin? Even more so. The entire blockchain world will only ever have 21 million Bitcoins. That's it. No more, no less.

Put these two numbers together, and you'll understand why some say Bitcoin is the gold of the digital age. One is a miracle of Earth's mineral deposits accumulated over centuries, and the other is the ultimate scarcity promise at the code level. Rarity is their greatest commonality.

Damn, that's a perfect analogy. One box of 21 cubic meters of gold is enough, while Bitcoin has a hard cap of 21 million... Scarcity is truly the key.

21 cubic meters of gold vs. 21 million BTC, the scarcity is indeed unmatched, but the problem is, gold can be touched and seen, can you eat code?

The analogy of the golden cube is brilliant, but to be honest, the core issue is that 21 million BTC will never change. That is the promise that truly allows me to sleep peacefully.
