Increment of WholeCoiners Points Towards Belief that Bitcoin is a Store of Value

Connecting the dots, an increment of bitcoin addresses holding at least one Bitcoin is proof that investors are continually confident that BTC is a store of value. The concept of Bitcoin as a store of value, or digital gold, has been explored numerous times by crypto enthusiasts and analysts with the most recent being Tyler Winklevoss who explained why this was so.

Bitcoin is not just a scarce commodity, it’s the only known commodity in the universe that has a deterministic and fixed supply. As a result, bitcoin is not subject to any of the potential positive supply shocks that gold (or any commodity for that matter) may face in the future.

Bitcoin is the first commodity in the universe where supply does not follow demand. Demand for bitcoin does not, and cannot, expand its supply.

Beyond superior supply attributes, bitcoin possesses all of the other characteristics that make gold valuable and actually performs better on a side-by-side comparison.
