Samson Mow has once again sparked the debate between Bitcoin and gold, emphasizing that Bitcoin's supply is fixed at 21 million coins, and its scarcity cannot be altered. This stands in stark contrast to gold, whose scarcity could be threatened as scientists at Marathon Fusion announced a scalable method to convert mercury into gold using future fusion power plants. This method is expected to produce two tons of gold per gigawatt of electricity annually without reducing power generation. The cryptocurrency community points out that while the supply of gold could increase through scientific breakthroughs, Bitcoin's digital, mathematically enforced supply cap remains unaffected by any discoveries or technologies.
