In a world where currencies are tested by inflationary pressures and monetary turbulence, ‘digital gold’ emerges as a combination of tradition and technology. If ‘digital gold’ is promoted as the new Bitcoin with guaranteed value, a massive inflow of capital could cause a price surge followed by sharp corrections. Although the history of cryptocurrencies has shown that their initial resistance did not stop their development, the possibility of seeing ‘official’ versions of digital gold cannot be ruled out. Such a version would give the precious metal ‘digital life’ under strict institutional control, strengthening the credibility of the system. In reality, ‘digital gold’ does not simply respond to the demand for stability.
