digital gold
Virtual store value
Digital gold refers to assets that serve as stores of value in the digital realm, most commonly Bitcoin.
The comparison suggests scarcity, durability, and resistance to inflation—qualities traditionally associated with physical gold.
Bitcoin advocates call it digital gold because of its fixed supply.
The term sometimes extends to other cryptocurrencies or digital assets positioned as hedges against currency devaluation.
