I was having an argument with my colleagues earlier about the possibility of Bitcoin surpassing Gold?
Gold has been dominating the economy and markets for thousands of years as a means of exchange and holding wealth(even generational wealth). On the contrary, Bitcoin(which is now called digital gold) was launched in 2009 and has achieved widespread adoption and success. It has been growing rapidly ever since.
I am not against hodling or buying bitcoin, infact i am an advocate for hodling bitcoin for the next couple of years because it’s certain there will be a huge increase in price to about $200,000 or higher in the future. But Gold is widely utilized compared to Bitcoin. Gold is also stable even though its price may fluctuate due to geopolitical factors and economic events whereas Bitcoin can be highly volatile.
Gold can be more reliable, this has been proven over and over. In this digital era, Bitcoin has accessibility, portability, divisibilty advantages over Gold.
Which team do you fall into Digital Gold or Traditional Gold?
From an investor's perspective, choosing between gold and Bitcoin is not a difficult matter. If the investor is thinking about profit over time, then he will definitely choose Bitcoin because investing in Bitcoin gives more profit with risk, which we have seen earlier. For example: In 2023, the price of gold was around $1800 and in 2025 it reached around $2400, then in two years the price of gold has gained approximately 33% . In 2023, the price of Bitcoin was (in a bear market) in the approximate range of $16,500 - $20,000 and in 2025 the price of Bitcoin has increased to around $65,000 - $70,000 (in a bear market), then in two years the price has increased by approximately 350% - 400%. Now a smart investor will easily understand where he should invest in 2025.
