CZ: Bitcoin Will Eventually Be More Important Than Gold, but Major Countries Need Time to Shift

Odaily News: CZ stated at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference:

"I believe Bitcoin will definitely become more important than gold. Yes, I think today we need to understand that it takes many years for major countries to make changes. Today they already have a mechanism for valuing and holding gold, a whole set of mechanisms already exists. It will take some time for them to shift to Bitcoin or to crypto assets, but this will definitely happen. Bitcoin itself is a much better asset than gold.

I think there is a very small possibility that something better than Bitcoin will replace it, such as another digital currency growing faster than Bitcoin and surpassing it before Bitcoin overtakes gold. Based on everything we see today, the probability of this happening is quite small. I think Bitcoin will surpass gold soon. There's only about a 10x gap between them now, so who knows, maybe it will happen in the next bull run."
