Even if we find thousands more tons of gold, I am sure it will never lose its value, and the price will still increase over time. The demand for gold is huge and the use of gold is not only for investment but also for use in all industries, daily life...while bitcoin is just an asset for investment and speculation. So comparing supply and claiming bitcoin is superior is not convincing.
We need to admit that gold is still needed for now and maybe for decades to come. Because not only for investment or reserves,
gold is needed in many fields, most specifically in electronics and semiconductors. So when we compare gold and bitcoin, it is actually not necessary, because each instrument has its own advantages. and I am sure that wise people can see that both are equally important, whether now or in the future.
Although that's true, the current "need" for the commodity in electronics and semi-conductors doesn't actually account for its current total market value, which is in its All Time HIGH. Most of Gold's total market value is based on demand for it as an investment.
It's the same debate against Bitcoin because of Bitcoin's total market value is based on demand for it as an investment as well. But its potential as money will be massive in my opinion. That's why there's some probability that Bitcoin might surpass Gold, in fact, Bitcoin might not stop surging until it actually surpass Gold.
