I would not say bitcoin is more usable then gold as gold has numerous industrial purposes (electronics, optics, thermal and electronic shielding).

If we were able to infinitely replicate gold and bitcoins, gold would still have value, bitcoins would not.




I agree with your sentiment, I should have asserted that I was thinking strictly for use as a currency.

as an aside, no one can make infinite of anything so I do not think that part of the comment applies.
