https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n41GPPhLkhI&t=30sKeeping in mind the most important factor, without gold and silver, all electronic equipment wouldn't exist = bitcoin would not exist. Computers, phones, tv's, etc ALL require silver and gold to be manufactured.
The argument that Bitcoin cannot replace gold because computers and cell phones are made of gold is, to say the least, misguided. Any mobile phone has many other metals besides gold (about 0.3 grams). For example Coltan, among many others.
I have NO DOUBT that Bitcoin will surpass the market capitalization of gold in the next 5 years.
I believe the OP is missing something here Gold, silver, and copper a piece of industrial equipment for electrical devices while Bitcoin is not, doesn't mean Bitcoin is not stored of value.
The industrial uses of something it been a store of value are totally different.
For the record, every commodity or asset with utility that can be traded in the hereafter without degenerating in worth is considered a store of value.
