Key Insights
🏆 Gold
The original store of value. Physical, tangible, but difficult to move. No counterparty risk, but high storage costs.
💵 US Dollar
The world's reserve currency. Widely accepted but centralized and subject to inflation. Requires trust in government.
₿ Bitcoin
Digital gold. First cryptocurrency, fixed supply, decentralized. Store of value but slower and more expensive than newer chains.
Ξ Ethereum
Programmable money. Enables smart contracts and DeFi. More versatile than Bitcoin but can have high fees.
◎ Solana
Speed and efficiency. Fastest and cheapest major blockchain. Great for high-frequency use cases but newer and less battle-tested.
