Can you imagine? If all the gold on Earth were melted into a sphere, its diameter would only be 32.6 meters—roughly the height of a small building. The total value? 46.7 trillion dollars.



This ball is divided into two layers: 21.63 million tons that have already been excavated and are lying in the vault (valued at 29 trillion dollars based on the current gold price of 4166 dollars/ounce), and 13.31 million tons that are still buried underground waiting to be mined (valued at 17.7 trillion).

Standing in front of this sphere, you will find that it is about the same size as the iconic white buildings of a certain country's capital. This little thing supports humanity's wealth belief for thousands of years.

Why is Bitcoin often compared to gold? The answer lies in this ball - true scarcity is never a marketing gimmick, but a physical law.

So that's all there is to gold? It feels like the story of Bitcoin is even more amazing.

lmao so they're really trying to convince us that 46.7T in a 32m sphere is somehow *scarce*? bro if you actually read the vesting schedules on half these "scarce" tokens, you'd see unlock cliffs that make that gold ball look like an abundance problem. classic greater fool theory—slap "immutable" on anything and suddenly scarcity becomes a narrative.

Wow, a ball can hold all the gold in the world? It doesn't seem as much as I imagined.

Wait, the golden ball is only 32.6 meters? I thought it would be bigger, this is just the height of a medium apartment building. By the way, 46.7 trillion USD supports thousands of years of human belief... What is the total market capitalization of BTC? This gap suddenly becomes apparent.

Hey wait, 32.6 meters? That's so small? I thought it would be as big as a football field!
