Bitcoin is often compared to gold. But Bitcoin is superior.
- It’s easily transferable across the planet in minutes.
- It’s divisible down to 100 million sats: no melting, no weighing.
- Self-custody means no vault fees or seizure risk beyond losing your keys.
- And contrary to gold, there’s a hard finite amount of Bitcoin: 21 million. Gold’s supply can keep growing via mining or, as Marathon Fusion is demonstrating, via nuclear transmutation of mercury using fusion neutrons. Physical scarcity might be a temporary geological constraint. Bitcoin’s is mathematical and fixed by protocol.
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.
