I don't know exactly about the other regions but from ASIA you cannot take gold away. They are crazy about gold and they are ready to invest in gold any time. I think this year investors are more interested in Gold as compared to crypto currency. Now Let's wait for the mid January to have an idea of BTC price.
we have to see because some Asians still like to infest with gold, this is because most of the Asian region is not well connected to the internet network, so people still don't really understand bitcoin, but not all Asian regions are backward, because in Japan, South Korea and many other developed countries, people prefer to invest in bitcoin rather than gold, this is because the government facilitates bitcoin users to do each of their trades, and internet connections in developed countries have also been very good.
