it is not not nothing 
bitcoin has been around only 8 years, and how long has Gold been around?
if you go out and tell any person in the street in any country of the world, old or young about gold they all know it.
but if you do that with bitcoin, you will be disappointed. but that is changing and more people know about bitcoin.
i say after this long reaching this parity is a decent achievement although it is not something to lose your head over.
and besides all these talks are great for bitcoin publicity.
I'd agree if it was parity, but it isn't though... it's like comparing a kilo of apples to a gallon of oil bitcoin has been around only 8 years, and how long has Gold been around?

The only way to compare Bitcoin and gold is with market caps, this means that all the gold is currently worth 356 times more than all the Bitcoins, quite far from parity if you'd ask me 
. I'm not saying I wouldn't like a parity, because one bitcoin would be almost half a million dollars. But we just can't call this a parity.
