Metals cannot be forked, captured by narratives, or reshaped through social consensus. Bitcoin can, and the block size wars proved that political dynamics apply just as much to digital systems as nation states.

Unlike politics, Bitcoin is self healing. When governance fails or trust is abused, value leaks to alternatives and bad ideas collapse.

The real vulnerability is “Bitcoin only” thinking. Sound money is the objective. One system will dominate when it earns that position, not when it is declared untouchable.
