The Gold of the Digital World, Bitcoin
Gold has been a reliable financial instrument for centuries. Limited supply is the main factor in this fact. Although all the gold reserves in the world have not yet mined, the supply of gold is absolute and cannot be produced when desired, like paper money. Bitcoin, which is considered as the gold of the digital world, also shows these very same features as gold. The number of Bitcoins currently available in the world is 18.4 million. The supply of Bitcoin is set at 21 million, and when this number is reached, no more Bitcoins will be mined. The total amount of Bitcoin to be mined will be reached in 2150. This situation contributes to the value of Bitcoin every day. Investors also show their confidence in Bitcoin as an investment tool like they do to gold. With the trust of the investors and the similarities it shows to gold, Bitcoin is the gold of cryptocurrency. In 2020, while gold has increased by 30% as of now, Bitcoin has increased by 65%. The "safe harbor" of the digital world, bitcoin has also been of interest to fund management companies. These companies are considering adding Bitcoin to their investments.
