Nice philosophical thought, but scientifically, it’s pure nonsense:
The periodic table describes physical elements, whereas Bitcoin is purely digital.
Each element in the periodic table consists of atoms with a defined number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. These elements have measurable physical properties such as atomic mass, density, and reactivity. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is an abstract construct - mathematical code running on a decentralized network. It has no atomic structure, no physical form, and no chemical interactions.
While Bitcoin may have properties that resemble scarce commodities like gold, it fundamentally differs from anything in the periodic table because it does not exist in the physical realm. It is not bound by the laws of chemistry.
