In that case, it sounds like it isn’t bitcoin at all.

Indeed.

Still, “digital gold” is one of the best metaphors for understand Bitcoin for the uninitiated

Yes, agreed.

no, it has a capped supply unless you propose a method to generate it economically

What is the gold supply cap?

Does not exist. About 2% more gold is mined and added to the supply each year. And that doesn’t account for other possibilities such as mining gold on asteroids

um.

can you give me fresh new gold without spending a proportional amount of resources

physical

limit

bitcoin is still inflating too in case you didn't notice

Not programmable

Yet few dare calling it physical Bitcoin. Go figure. 😄

This can be said about Chicken Nuggets too.

True. At least gold is durable

I don't know man. I heard the ones from McDonalds never disintegrate. I might go long on nugs.
