According to Odaily Planet Daily, Messari co-founder Dan McArdle posted on the X platform that people were attracted to Bitcoin and gold in the early days (and still are), and there are many crossovers between the two, with the same basic driving factors. However, when early Bitcoin users just realized that Bitcoin is more suitable for modern society, gold has already failed. The reason is that gold is easy to centralize, and the government has messed up everything in terms of pegging to the gold standard.
