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.

Yup, you're right. That natural made material ( gold ) has been around million of years ago. It's like comparing a 1mmr DOTA player to a 9kmmr player. Everybody knows what gold is. It is malleable, shiny and eeexxxppensive!!!
What I'm saying here is we are lucky that in the eight years of bitcoins existence it has able to overtake gold's price even in a short amount of time. I'm still glad even if Bitcoin is below 1000 dollars cause I believe in its potential. You can't beat a thousand years material (gold) in a mere 10 years, but another 10 years is another story. Bitcoin might be higher than any of the world's reserve, maybe not. Hang on tight this will be a long ride.
