Should Bitcoin Be Priced in Gold, Not Dollars? For years, Bitcoiners have repeated a simple truth: the dollar is the worst unit of account imaginable. It’s elastic, politicized, constantly debased, and manipulated by central banks. Yet despite everything we know about fiat, most Bitcoiners still measure their wealth in dollars. We celebrate new ATHs in USD terms… even though the dollar itself keeps shrinking. So here’s the real question: should Bitcoin actually be priced in gold instead of dollars? Gold isn’t perfect, but it has something the dollar never will—a 5,000-year track record as honest money. It’s inflation-resistant, politically neutral, globally recognized, and impossible to print with a keystroke. If Bitcoin is digital gold, then why benchmark its value against a currency designed to lose purchasing power? When we price Bitcoin in gold, the noise disappears. We’re no longer asking whether Bitcoin hit $80K, $100K, or $150K—numbers that mean less every year. We’re asking how many ounces of real, hard, non-inflatable value one Bitcoin commands. And that metric tells a different story: the long-term trend is a steady rise in Bitcoin’s purchasing power relative to gold, even with repeated pullbacks. For Bitcoiners who see BTC as a multi-generational asset, pricing in gold refocuses the conversation on real value—not political value. It removes the distortion of inflation, rate cuts, QE, and election cycles. It forces us to compare Bitcoin to the most resilient monetary benchmark humanity has ever known. Maybe it’s time for Bitcoiners to stop thinking in dollars entirely—and start thinking in ounces. #bitcoin #money #gold #silver #bitcoin #crypto
