The most important factor for assets to become digital gold is trust. After all, you would never invest your savings in an asset that claims to better protect your wealth but has never been tested by countless hardships and obstacles. That's why gold has stood the test of time. It has gone through thousands of years, wars, famines, recessions, and so on. To be honest, BTC still has a long way to go in this regard to say that it has been fully tested, but the important thing is that it is only 15 years old. In just 15 years, BTC has gone through countless difficulties but has always been able to come back stronger.
