Mark Cuban's views on Bitcoin further highlight the advantages of digital assets as modern currencies. Cuban believes that Bitcoin has advantages over gold in terms of value storage and transactions, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Advantages of Bitcoin over Gold:

Convenience and divisibility: Cuban believes that the digital nature of Bitcoin makes it superior to gold in terms of convenience and flexibility. Bitcoin is a digital asset that can be easily transferred and traded around the world without relying on traditional physical transportation and storage methods. In contrast, the physical nature of gold makes it very cumbersome to transport and store, prone to theft, and difficult to split into smaller units for daily transactions.

Lightweight and divisible: Bitcoin can be split into extremely small units (such as 1 Bitcoin can be divided into 100 million "satoshis"), making it more suitable for daily transactions and small payments. This is very important in modern transactions, especially international transfers, avoiding the high cost and complex procedures of gold when transferring across borders.

Market demand and value growth: Despite Bitcoin's volatility, Cuban remains confident in Bitcoin, believing that its increased demand and use directly reflect its value growth. He noted that Bitcoin has strong long-term potential and that its demand and acceptance as a digital asset are increasing.

Cuban's view on gold:

In contrast, Cuban does not believe that gold is a reliable economic hedge, especially in the modern economy. Although gold can sometimes maintain its value during economic crises, its performance lacks stability, and there are many practical difficulties in holding gold:

Storage and transportation issues: The physical nature of gold determines that it is not as easy to carry and transfer as Bitcoin, especially when it is transferred across borders.

Security issues: Gold is easily targeted by theft and requires high storage costs and security measures.

Volatility: The market price of gold is also volatile. Although it was once regarded as a safe-haven asset, the gold market is not always consistent.
