I just watched yet another Bitcoin vs gold debate. Everyone, including Saylor, seems to not yet have a simple, easily understandable explanation for the inherent utility of Bitcoin in comparison to the inherent utility of gold, or its nature as a true commodity.

To me, the answer is simple.

The timechain is the commodity. And the salable good of the timechain is truth.

Truth. Unalterable, unquestionable truth.

And in a world where truth is becoming much harder to come by, it will become more valuable.

Every transaction on the Bitcoin network is recorded on this timechain, verified by thousands, and locked in. It can’t be changed, it can’t be tampered with. That’s not just a tech feature; it’s a revolutionary approach to recording history itself.

Gold is valuable, yes, but it can’t tell you its own history. It can’t prove its purity or its path from the mine to your hand. Bitcoin can. Every sat has its place in the ledger, its proof of existence and movement, and it’s all verifiable.

In an era where the truth is not just golden but essential, having a system that guarantees it with mathematical certainty—that’s a commodity beyond value. It’s the new gold standard for the digital age. And as the world grows more complex, the value of something as simple and solid as truth? It’s only going to go up.

So, the next time you find yourself in a debate about Bitcoin’s value, just remember: in our world, truth is the currency, and Bitcoin is the mint.
