Bitcoin BTCUSD vs. gold XAU: Samson Mow on key difference between two assets
Mar 15, 2025 at 07:36 pm
The core difference between Bitcoin BTCUSD and gold XAU is the nature of ownership in the two assets.
Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3 and Pixelmatic, highlighted a key difference between Bitcoin BTCUSD and gold XAU despite the two assets often being compared.
Instead of physical "bearing," knowledge is key to Bitcoin BTCUSD ownership, the seasoned blockchain entrepreneur stated.
Bitcoin BTCUSD vs. gold XAU: Samson Mow on key difference between two assets
The core difference between Bitcoin BTCUSD and gold XAU is the nature of ownership in the two assets. While for the orange coin, private key knowledge is essential to "owning" the asset, gold XAU remains the "bearer's" asset, with necessary physical possession.
Prominent Bitcoin BTCUSD evangelist Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3 and Pixelmatic, pointed out this striking difference in an X post shared today, on March 15, 2025, with his 340,000 followers. At the same time, he added that the very concept of "bearing" is blurred now.
"People often compare #Bitcoin to gold. But there’s a key difference: Bitcoin is owned through knowledge (private key), while gold is a bearer instrument (physical possession). Of course, with custodial services, the lines are blurring but ultimately, knowledge=ownership for Bitcoin BTCUSD & possession=ownership for gold XAU," the post reads.
Bitcoin BTCUSD is often called "digital gold," which has also always been one of its key value narratives. Just like gold XAU, Bitcoin BTCUSD has no emission center, and its supply is scarce, which is a significant advantage over fiat currencies subject to occurrence.
As covered by U.Today previously, Samson Mow is an advocate of super-bullish $1,000,000 per Bitcoin BTCUSD price theory.
He also compared Bitcoin BTCUSD to gold XAU in the context of U.S. Federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve discussions.
Gold XAU price hits all-time high over $3,000
Amid global geopolitical uncertainty and economic downturn fears, gold XAU has proven its position as a reserve asset. The gold XAU price hit $3,001.30 in April futures expanding its 20% rally registered in recent months.
As per Ross Norman, CEO of Metals Daily, the price of the shining metal has an upside and is most likely going to reach $3,200 in 2025.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin BTCUSD, the largest cryptocurrency, is failing to break out of its bearish dynamics. At press time, BTC is changing hands at $83,900, 23% down from the peak. The strategic reserve announcements were met with very limited enthusiasm.
The Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index remains in the fear zone at 46/100.
