I'd say that gold is infinitely divisible in practice, as much or moreso than bitcoin. There is what, a USD dollar or two worth of gold leaf in Goldschläger?

I'd say that gold is infinitely divisible in practice, as much or moreso than bitcoin. There is what, a USD dollar or two worth of gold leaf in Goldschläger? You can trivially get down to flakes of gold worth fractions of pennies.
The only problem is the cost of division (making leaf is somewhat labor intensive, but not prohibitively so by any stretch).
The hard limit is $1e-20, according to wolfram alpha. IIRC bitcoin will only get you down to e-8.
