TREE NEWS reports: Saifedean Ammous, author of ‘The Bitcoin Standard,’ said Bitcoin already functions as money when held as a store of value and predicted it will eventually become larger and less volatile than gold as the asset matures. The remarks frame Bitcoin’s role around its monetary store-of-value function rather than payments.
Saifedean Ammous: Bitcoin Will Grow Larger and Less Volatile Than Gold
Ammous is restating the maximalist store-of-value thesis, but the notable part is the comparison to gold rather than to fiat or payments — it sets a benchmark that can actually be observed over time. The claim rests on maturity reducing volatility, which remains the untested link in his argument. Whether Bitcoin's volatility profile converges toward gold's as its market deepens is the open question worth tracking.
