Meaning, it's still only worth a fraction of what a tech giant is. (~500B range)
Yes, btc is still worth a fraction of its true potential. Cap is the only number you have to compare it to giants.
I agree completely. The price of a single coin doesn't say much.
1 bitcoin is very close to reaching twice the price of gold. Except "the price of gold" depends on how much gold. 1oz is just an arbitrary fraction and even 1 BTC is.
We should compare the market cap of BTC with all giants, including (the total market cap of) gold: $40billions vs $7.5trillions. It's still very far away and can grow a lot more in several years.
