What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.
Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

Bitcoin is Digital Gold
One of the most common, and best, ways to think about bitcoin is as "digital gold". Like gold, bitcoin doesn't rely on a central issuer, can't have its supply manipulated by any authority, and has fundamental properties long considered important for a monetary good and store of value.
Unlike gold, bitcoin is extremely easy and cheap to "transport", and trivial to verify its authenticity. Bitcoin is also "programmable". This means custody of bitcoin can be extremely flexible. It can be split amongst a set of people ("key holders"), backed up and encrypted, or even frozen-in-place until a certain date in the future. This is all done without a central authority managing the process. It's also possible to walk across a national border with bitcoin "stored" in your head by memorizing a key.
The similarities to gold, plus the unique features possible because bitcoin is purely digital, give it the "digital gold" moniker. Sharing fundamental properties with gold means it shares use-cases with gold, such as hedging inflation and political uncertainty. But being digital, bitcoin adds capabilities that are especially relevant in our modern electronic times. The world does indeed need a digital version of gold.
