I know nothing of BTC but how would you stack it against gold, real estate, other traditional stores of value as a hedge against hyperinflation?

You want to own all of those if possible, but for normal working people bitcoin is easy way to convert fiat into a asset.

Given each bitcoin breaks down into 100 million sathosis you can always buy/sell parts of a bitcoin. Doing the same with other assets classes is harder or not even possible.
