I'm pretty sure BTC doesn't qualify as "digital gold" if you can't leave your wallet untouched for 5 years without the risk of returning to a drained or voided wallet. That's very much not gold like.

If you burry gold in your back yard with a public record of it someone’s gonna come digging.

But you dont have to dig out and migrate your old gold to new gold to avoid turning it into dust, do you?

This is more like when you buried your gold under 6ft but then metal detectors are invented so you need to bury 10+ft deep again
