Gold will always be gold and noting can compare o gold ......bitcoin however just like gold is in a class by itself with is ability to transcend borders as it does not need the established financial red taped system to initiate or complete a transaction.with the implementation of the lightening network in a couple months it will become a major player no one in financial circles can pretend to ignore .
I don't think so about Gold.
What made gold to be so well know ?
People used to wear it and it has unique feature like to be one of the most resistance of the metals - and of course its scarcity.
But when it started to spread all over the world the news that gold can be traded - so it has a value indeed and not just like something that does not mean a thing.
The same goes for BTC.
