Ethereum price is higher than that of gold now.
Ethereum has a large market cap than gold.
Ethereum is overtaking gold in all ways

Are you joking or what? ethereum has 200 billion mcap while gold has 10 trillions worth MCAP at this moment. The price of ethereum is not comparable with gold right now dude.
I think that you are trolling about that. It's the same like others who have been talking about bitcoin vs gold which is not reasonable. You should wait ethereum to reach 50x from the current price to make it happen.  :D :D :D

You are comparing oranges and apples. People here like to do so. Its to completly different things with different use cases

Please edit your post, this is disgusting in the world where with a Google search you will have fact in your hands, Ethereum market cap is not more than that of Gold, even Bitcoinis not close to Gold market cap in any way. Again there is no need to compare the two, the only Crypto narrative that people say is that Bitcoin is the digital Gold not Ethereum

So what's the point of comparison? this is like the early comparison of gold and bitcoin but that doesn't really make sense. Both are investments and determine what's good for you. But to me, I'll have Ethereum rather than gold.

Gold is known and common but I'll simply take Ethereum, and even if there are people that says it's just a piece of code and that's the same as bitcoin but the potential and growth of it is unstoppable.

Bad comparison. If you compare, please compare a cryptocurreny to another cryptocurrency as Bitcoin to Ethereum, Ethereum to Ethereum Classic.
If you compare gold, please compare it to silver, diamond, etc.

Ethereum is the second biggest cryptocurrency and has a bone blockchain for ERC-20 projects. Consequently, I am not surprised if Ethereum has a few fold of bigger price than Gold price. The human civilization is in a new era of digital, crypto currencies and precious metals as gold will gradually lose their position in investors' favourite tastes.

With cryptocurrency, you can bring them to anywhere in the world. You can control them in your wallet. They are light, easy to use, convenient and portable.

But yet people can't do without orange and apple can they? Instead of comparing which is better we are going to need both so you have your answer already, invest in both because they both have their advantages and disadvantages

I'm not sure you're serious, but you can still compare the two graphs:

The difference in the market capitalization of Ethereum and Gold is huge, and in general, in my opinion, it is not correct to compare the two types of assets at all.

It doesn't even make sense to compare the gold with bitcoin and you are comparing it with the coin that has lower marketcap than bitcoin?
I think that what you need to use your google search rather than create BS about that dude. The gold is a commodity that's the supply is increasing so fast. It's not even relevant to compare 1 ethereum with the gold. It will worth only for 1 once gold = 1 ethereum maybe. I think that you should search a better thing to be compared with crypto. Crypto is about to surpass gold mcap in the future

I'm so confused to explain your question. but I will just tell the important point bro.  ???
Gold and Ethereum are different, gold is a traditional investment and in the form of tangible assets ,while ethereum is a type of digital currency asset, it is invisible, does not have a form like gold. and to compare related to gold and ethereum prices. the value of gold increases every year and the price of ethereum "digital assets others" can increase at any time.

wait what?

Maybe we could expect changes soon for sure, bitcoin is growing ridiculously after a few months and we could expect that growth also when it comes to ETH especially after ETH2.0.


Barrick Gold is a mining company and you're looking at the market cap of the company itself, not GOLD.

Yes,,, shall we also now start comparing apples and oranges?

I really cannot understand why we must make such comparisons. ETH has unlimited supply so already on fundamental basics we should not be comparing. ETH is not digital gold, it is more like digital fuel:)

Still does not make eth have same worth as Gold in the real life sense of view, i don"t see the point of this comparison, eth is digital which is heavily influence buy market speculations while gold on the other hand is real and physical with no speculative influence whatsoever, each of them plays a totally different role, maybe perhaps if eth where to be valued base on its real value on a day to day usage it won't even worth this much. i wonder what brought this thought in your mind.

Ethereum in addition to gold in terms of current price price ethereum is clearly higher than gold in terms of being able to invest I prefer gold because gold is much higher than ethereum and gold including expertable metals and it can't be taken around with so much as ethereum, obviously And I've heard rumors that in the future gold will be a medium of exchange or the top one in the real world, much less of the current world economy, than in my opinion

You won't really know what gonna happened next year on the price of ETH and the price of gold will guarantee to stay whether you like it or not. The only difference between these two is they don't really get another place in terms of popularity because they are from different pages of the book. Others won't matter no matter what the price of others because they are simply nothing to do with one another since they don't reside in one place. You know what I mean, these two shouldn't be compared to one another.

Ethereum and Gold are profitable investment assets, but you can't compare Ethereum to Gold, because they have different properties. Gold has better investment properties, whereas Ethereum is very difficult to predict, because the price is very fluctuating.

Even bitcoin which is the highest in terms of price and marketcap in the whole cryptocurrencies is at 7% compared to the marketcap value of Gold so you must read the right articles before saying that struggling ethereum surpassed in the marketcap of Gold which is currently ranked at No.1.

are you kidding me? Gold is a very good investment which has a very small loss rate. there was no way ETH could beat gold. not worth

Gold is a profitable asset, one cannot argue with that. But you can only get benefits after many years because the rate of precious metals changes slowly. Benefit from cryptocurrencies much faster. In general, it seems to me that you cannot compare material and digital. Better to invest in multiple markets at once.

Gold is not so good as an investment consider it was pure manipulation by the bankers who have been holding the largest reserved gold.
You must see this time gold is losing 10% of its value. Gold and crypto have the same chance to make its holders to get lose.
It's non sense thing to compare gold with ethereum but in term of usability and ethereum offers better usability than the real commodity like gold.

Its another milestone for crypto as another crypto has won over the marketcap of gold which held its position as the most prominent investment assets to hold and trade. People who generally used gold for making their value independent of the local currency are now also investing in crypto. With no borders and boundaries and easy way to carry and transfer, it is the new favorite for people who don't trust their local currency or government.

is this a joke? like a photo taken using your smartphone compared to a photo taken using a digital camera, yes it is very unfair, because the context is different, if you compare etherium with other altcoins it might be fairer and more reasonable

it is not correct to compare the two, Ethereum has a price that gold cannot reach at the moment. I have never heard of the price of gold as high as the value of etherum at this time, I am not underestimating the value of gold, I read in an article that said that gold was starting to be abandoned due to the presence of digital currencies such as bitcoin.
this is the article I meant

https://www.wartaekonomi.co.id/read305272/emas-mulai-dibuang-bitcoin-makin-disayang-sayang#:~:text=Emas%20memiliki%20kapitalisasi%20pasar%20US,atau%20sekitar%20Rp2.960%20triliun.

If you compare 1 Ethereum with 1 ounce of gold than you are right with your statement about the price but i would say you probably have to compare the price of 1kg of gold to the price of 1 full ETH to be correct.
Just look at the total marketcap of ETH in comparison to gold you will see that gold has still the 20x higher market cap than ethereum so ETH has still a long way to go to surpass gold in that matter.
But ETH doesn't even need to get bigger than gold because they are 2 completely different things. Gold is a precious metal and ETH is a blockchain platform.

Ethereum will never replace gold. You dont need such high fees for gold transactions. If people want to replace gold they will probably choose btc instead of ethereum. So dont ever compare ethereum to gold. The function also different here.

The main advantage of cryptocurrencies over any assets is their decentralization. Of course, gold can be used as a reliable storehouse, but all investments in gold are controlled by government agencies, while Ethereum gives you financial independence. And this is if you do not touch the functional superiority of ETH, which is provided by the global Ethereum ecosystem. Of course, the high volatility of Ethereum does not guarantee stability, but I am sure that after years, when the capitalization of Ethereum increases tenfold, its price will be more stable and then the advantages of Ethereum over gold will be very significant.

In my opinion, etherem and gold cannot be compared, because they have very real differences, where etherem is a digital investment that does not exist in the real world, while gold is a perfect investment, but both are profitable investment assets.  However, investing in gold is more efficient and safer, this is in stark contrast to etherem, which can provide benefits but has a very large risk,

LOL, where did you get this information from dude,? And besides, bitcoin which is the father of all crypto currencies isn't even close to gold in terms of market cap, how then are you comparing Ethereum to gold, comparing the two is like comparing a dog to a lion, which we all know is not even appropriate, though this is not to say that Ethereum or crypto currencies as a whole would not suppass gold in terms of market cap, but we just aren't there yet, we are even close but I believe it's not long from now, we will start comparing crypto currencies market cap to that of gold and other precious stones market cap.

That is right there is a difference between the price of ETH and gold. But it is not so bigger as expected, Gold price is around 1.8k, and ETH price is near to this number. It seems gold price is better-compared to cryptocurrencies, but not ETH. ETH doesn't deserve 1.7k and this coin will get up in the near future. Investing in Gold is a better choice than investing in other currencies, however, top altcoins always have great potential and l prefer investing in top altcoins including ETH than investing in GOld.

Not a good comparison though. Bitcoin was the one that's mostly being compared to gold. But in terms of individual characteristics, why not have them both? I hold ETH but I won't sell it for gold. Maybe some gold holders would sell gold and will buy bitcoin and ethereum for it.

Yes, the risk that Ethereum has is higher than gold has. It's the asset for those who wants to have a safe investment and slowly but surely in increasing value.

I guess OP's basing his/er  comparison through its value.
That's a bad comparison, OP.
It's an apple and orange comparison and it wouldn't make any sense to compare those two.
One is digital and one isn't.

You cannot establish a point of comparison for ETH with Gold.
Gold has represented a very great history for many years, so much so that it was exchanged for goods and services, in some economies they use it as a backup for fiat money and it does not have so much volatility, it is considered par excellence the best Safe Haven, the ETH depends widely of Bitcoin, every move that Bitcoin makes, ETH will react, ETH has no life of its own, and it cannot be compared because ETH has a higher price than Gold.

If many times they have compared Bitcoin to gold, knowing that the Safe Haven is gold, Powell himself, who is the president of the FED, hinted at it despite the fact that bitcoin has high volatility, and even so, Bitcoin does have life own and a history of more than 10 years.

To get a comparison for gold, Ethereum must have a fixed cap like Bitcoin. I don't know what dev's latest update was here, but Ethereum isn't capped?


It can.
A crypto just needs to be capped, secured and trusted and people will use it as a store of value.

Marketcap is not a parameter to use in this comparison. Gold total supply is huge and gold existence is for so long in human civilization. Ethereum is much younger and its total supply is infinite. More supply for gold can be existed with future modern technologies but with current technology, its supply is almost fixed.

Ethereum is an alternate cryptocurrency and the Queen in altcoin kingdom. It is also a digitalized currency that surely brings more convenience and freedom to people who adopt it and use it. I think price of bitcoin, Ethereum and gold will rise when the collapse of central banks are more realistic.

Both have value and market capitalization, both are equally needed by everyone and can also be used as investment assets, but only in different places. ethereum is functional and reliable in the crypto market and gold is reliable in the modern market or the real market. both are the best assets to have.

in fact, be it gold or ethereum, it is clearly very valuable even though it is true that your word is only the difference that distinguishes it. one is in real form and the other is invisible, but again both are very good and profitable investments. But if the problem is clearly different, the real (gold) is not really, but the unreal (ethereum) is very full of risks, but behind the full risks, there are certainly trade-offs with greater benefits.

I guess we are going to look at how the return of investment (ROI) of both be like in the next 2 years.

So as far as investment goes, I think Ethereum will beat Gold, but for the stability and being store of value, I would say that Gold still takes over. Gold has a trillion marketcap compare to Bitcoin as well, so both can be good as hedge to financial crisis. But the thing is, crypto is now taking over, Gold will be Gold, but we might see a big shift in the next five years to crypto.

Your statement about gold and ethereum is very clear, but you forgot to mention what risks they have.
It seems that both of these valuable assets have risks, but a greater risk is in Ethereum, whether you are holding it or when investing in Ethereum. the advantage in ethereum is due to its decentralization while the advantages of holding gold are due to the relatively easy way to cash it in a relatively short time and more flexibility.

To choose among the two is hard to do because both shows proof and very valuable ni terms of investment.Not in the same matter but the same endpoint which is to gain profit. They may differ because one is tangible and other is intangible but have the same goals which is to gain from the investment without hesitations if it's true or not because it was already  proven and tested by many people.

I don't see any reason why we have to compare Ethereum and Gold because they are not the same thing or belong to the same market but this is what will always happen when investors focus more on profit making. Choosing among the two is actually not hard but diversification is good.

trader to work according with supports of confirmation as returns with tasks of evaluation that decision on invest might comes as finest option to expect with limit of results. that regardless the price on commodity trader to work with ideal rationality.

Perhaps your comparison is a bit too abstracted, outrageous.  But it is conceivable that Ethereum in the crypto world will make sense and it is just as precious to each person as gold in reality.  Although bitcoin is dubbed digital gold, is a trillion asset, but Ethereum is also the core, being the queen of the altcoin world.  :))

Bitcoin and Gold are two different assets. If we talk about potential, Ethereum is more promising, but the risk is also greater when there was a time when Ethereum's value went from 1500 $ to 90 $. Gold looks more stable when it hasn't dropped below $ 1000 since it crossed the $ 1900 level in 2011.
Personally, I will split it into two equal parts to keep gold and Ethereum.
Gold will help me store my value more stably and I can easily sell it without worrying about slippage if it falls in price. Ethereum will be the risky asset I will invest in, now people take Ethereum to stakes so the downside risk has been reduced compared to before.

Comparing gold and ethereum? it is a different matter. in terms of the instrument itself is much different between gold and cryptocurrency as well as the concept. what are we going to compare the two of? what is clear is that gold has existed thousands of years ago until now. So historically and fundamentally ethereum is still far away. making a comparison based on price is also impossible. The current supply and market cap of gold is quite large and Ethereum is still below gold, even bitcoin cannot compete with gold. the difference between the market cap of the two is quite large

I have seen Bitcoin vs Gold in many places but don't think about Ethereum. Ethereum is one of the best crypto in crypto world. Investing on Ethereum is much more better than smoking on Gold.

Well, personally, at the moment, I am more attracted to BNB than Ethereum, now there is also a large number of projects coming out, as well as the commission there is much lower now than on the same Ethereum.

Therefore, I think that at the moment the BNB is a priority for everyone!with

It is Bitcoin that acts as digital gold in the cryptocurrency market, so it makes no sense to compare and mention Ethereum here.

Gold is for saving and storing for a long-term perspective, Ethereum is an extensive platform for creating smart contracts.

in fact, they both have value and are only needed in different places. both can be turned into cash in different ways. gold will be a long-term investment and so will ethereum.
