Bitcoin is a commodity, not money. At least, that's the argument my guest, Digital Gold Yoda, lays out today as we dive into the revolutionary project that aims to achieve what Satoshi Nakamoto originally envisioned DigitalGold.com. Imagine a network of 100 million nodes running proof-of-stake technology on regular computers—decentralized, efficient, and fair. Digital Gold is not just another cryptocurrency; it's a movement designed to fix the flaws of Bitcoin and build an entirely new monetary system.

In this episode:

• Why Bitcoin became a commodity and not money
• The three-legged stool that determines intrinsic value: users, computing power, and utility
• How the Proof of Participation model ensures fair distribution and decentralized validation
• The 1,000-level game to grow from 10,000 to 100 million users
• Why Digital Gold aims to match Bitcoin’s computing power—without burning fossil fuels
• How merchant adoption happens organically in this system

Digital Gold Yoda and I break down the technology, distribution model, and vision behind this revolutionary project. If you’re holding crypto dust or curious about what’s next in decentralization, this episode is for you.
