← Bitcoin vs Gold
1 / 4
Question
What does "no counterparty risk" mean in the context of both gold and Bitcoin?
1
Neither gold nor Bitcoin requires a broker or bank account to hold, meaning they generate no transaction fees
2
Neither gold nor Bitcoin is subject to capital gains tax, removing the counterparty of the tax authority
3
Holding gold or Bitcoin eliminates currency exchange risk because they are priced in universal units
4
Physical gold and self-custodied Bitcoin are not liabilities of any institution — they cannot be defaulted on or seized through the insolvency of a counterparty the way a bank deposit, bond, or ETF can in extreme scenarios
