Bitcoin is digital money that works on the internet. You can send it to anyone in the world without using a bank.
Think of it like email for money. Just like email changed how we send letters, Bitcoin changes how we send money.
No one controls it - not a government or a company. It's run by computers all around the world working together.
There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoins. That's why many people see it as "digital gold" and use it to save money.
Gold is a precious metal that has been valued by humans for over 5,000 years. It's real, physical wealth you can hold.
Unlike paper money, gold cannot be printed by governments. It's rare, durable, and keeps its value over centuries.
Central banks and investors buy gold to protect their wealth during economic uncertainty. When currencies lose value, gold often goes up.
Gold is measured in troy ounces (31.1 grams). It's used as jewelry, in electronics, and most importantly - as a store of value and safe haven asset.
