Bitcoin will be gold-like store of value because people think it is like gold and financialize it with ETFs and a futures market.

However should we change our mind and instead start thinking some other cryptocurrency or maybe just a registration in some more or less distributed database is gold. Then that can become gold.

Or something like that?

Or maybe only gold is gold because it has been like that for a thousand years and throughout multiple empires and wars.
