Unpopular opinion: Bitcoin is not digital gold. And we need to stop calling it that. Gold inherently requires trust. You must trust the purity of the bar. Trust the person transporting it. Trust the storage facility. Trust the world around you to honor it. That’s why gold often ends up in vaults, banks, and ETFs. Systems upon systems built on layers and layers of trust. And that’s exactly the problem. When we label Bitcoin as “digital gold,” we open the door for institutions to normalize trusted custody. Normalize their narrative. They’ll say it’s fine to hold your Bitcoin in their vaults. That you need their help. That it’s just like gold. But Bitcoin isn’t gold. It’s trust-less. That is the breakthrough. That is the revolution. Look around: How often do you hear the term “self-custody” from regulators, banks, or press releases? How often do you hear them promote sovereign ownership of Bitcoin? Rarely. And that’s not an accident. This is a form of soft capture. It’s subtle, calculated, and dangerous. The omission of self-custody is not a mistake. The language is deliberate. The narrative is carefully crafted. Don’t fall for it. Bitcoin is not digital gold. It’s the end of trusted intermediaries. Not your keys, not your coins. Reject trusted systems. Reject their intentions. Reject their narrative. Stay sovereign.
