There is another framing to the use of gold as a basis for currency which is that it's more like Bitcoin than it's not. It's true that its supply scales with demand–but the total amount of gold on Earth is fixed. Not unlike mining difficulty scaling for BTC https://www.gold.org/goldhub/data/how-much-gold

I would disagree — unlike Bitcoin, there is no reason to think the gold supply will be unable to expand to meet demand at any point in the foreseeable future. The amount of gold in the Universe, or even just deep within the earth, might as well be infinite from a human perspective
