As such, it is no wonder that Bitcoin, a digital asset whose popularity is increasing ahead of its third fundamental event, had a novel mention:

In a scene, Chuck Roades posed sarcastically:

“—and for what? A multitude of computers could solve some abstract math equation resulting in the mining of…Bitcoin. Worth millions right now what be…but backed by what? Not a nix, zat, nada…”

The counter statement meanwhile questioned where the value of the “almighty” USD is derived from. If Bitcoin is backed by nothing more than the distributed nature of its computers, then what’s backs the USD?

This has been a back and forth question posed since the inception of Bitcoin. After the deviation from the gold standard, Chuck argues that the USD is backed by the full trust of the US treasury and it’s military.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s value is drawn from a vibrant community who at any time ensures that the middleman, that is banks and other financial institutions, are chopped off from the equation. The network is robust, resilient, and even without the backing from government, it survived the coronavirus test.

Unlike the traditional markets of which stocks featured prominently, Bitcoin didn’t receive any form of stimulus yet it continues to outperform the S&P 500 and even gold. Its inflation stands at around 3.8 percent and it shall drop to around 1.6 percent after halving and be at par with gold.

#Bitcoin is officially outperforming Gold & the S&P 500 in this financial crisis.

At this rate, all pointers reveal that Bitcoin will at the end of the day evolve into a reliable store of value whose scarcity can be measured publicly and whose scarcity levels projected confidently.
