Bitcoin has defeated gold

[OROBTC]

Yes, though I really don't see the relevance of this.  Apparently a lot of others do.

I think when I get paid from my signature campaign this coming Wednesday, I may just end up buying a gold coin or some silver from Provident Metals.  I said in another thread that I was done spending bitcoin, but actually having a physical coin as the result of my earnings here is meaningful to me.  I'm not pumping Provident here, they just happen to be pretty much the only place that takes bitcoin.  Amagi metals has shit for selection.  But I'll have to see what the price is on Wednesday.  I must say, I'm reluctant to get rid of any bitcoin right about now.  We could very well be on the rocket ship to Pluto.  F- the moon.

Yeah, that's my favorite way to spend Bitcoin, buying gold.  Buying gold is like spending and saving at the same time. 

But, I agree that it is hard to think about spending BTC now, as the price now could really move up big.

Another thing to keep in mind is that buying gold now means you would be "selling high (BTC) and buying low (gold)" at the same time, generally buying low and selling high is a winner in investing.

Well, I can not believe that the Bitcoin prices has crossed over gold sooner than I expect. I thought the process would be finished in April. Wow, Bitcoin is truly worth and everyone who has sold their Bitcoin has made a huge mistake. Nothing can stop Bitcoin right now.

This will be a good step for us to share more bitcoin to others and save more too unto it. Because we are now greater than gold, imagine we are holding and saving something more than a gold, cheers!

[Barbut]

Do you remember all threads from past years: Bitcoin vs Gold, what is better bitcoin or gold, and many other similar threads. Now it's official, bitcoin is better and more expensive then gold, you can do more things with bitcoin then with gold. Who ever invested money or time in bitcoins was right from the beginning, and thanks for sharing this prices of bitcoin and gold. Now difference is just 19 dollars, but its good for start, soon bitcoin will worth much more then gold.

Yeah bitcoin shows its potential to the world economy with its value and power. bitcoin is been crossed the value of one ounce of gold equals with one bitcoins. Then is gold is physical investments for the laymen people to hybrid corporate people and they does not know about digital currency yet. We need more adoption to increase bitcoin more and more than now.

Adoption for bitcoin is not a problem because it is very easy to solve that kind of concern, we just need some good simple explanation for promotion and then it will be good to go and you can start posting or advertising in different kind of social medias because that is where most of the people go.

Adoption is main here the more adoption more price will be. Finally they realise how much bitcoin is important.  The more value it comes the more demand and adoption will follow.

if you yourself have good knowledge about bitcoin then you can introduce bitcoin to some one in a good way, and he will easily understand you, but if you do not have enough knowledge about bitcoin then you will produce problems.

Yeah right, if we are not experts with bitcoin better studied so that experts, I think it is not easy to explain to others, bitcoin because bitcoin is very different from real money.

[OrangeII]

I believe bitcoin will outperform gold and the current price of the future will be greater 

in the future, I think bitcoin will far exceed the price of gold. Well, basically, the price of bitcoin has become higher, even for some people, bitcoin is becoming more important than gold, because they are better able to optimize the use bitcoin, than gold.

Just compare the total value of all gold in circulation and the total value of all bitcoins in circulation.
You will have your answer. 

It's only a matter of time for total bitcoin in circulation exceed gold in circulation

how many gold are in circulation? if you talk about once, there always will be more gold than 21M bitcoin, gold is not all mined yet, there are still hidden place to mine gold, bitcoin it is know the limit, and some of the bitcoin are lost, making bitcoin more rare than gold

[marcous]

imagine if all the network is shut down because world war III ? will bitcoin still exist ?

mean while gold value will survive as always

Yes, it would be interesting to know how many lost bitcoins. To have an idea of the real situation.
In any case, you can not turn off bitcoin and gold. These are completely different assets

Didn't bitcoin already beat gold back in 2013 when the price of bitcoin went to around 1300$, and gold was about 500$ then ? Don't see whats the big point about it beating gold, unless it does so in the long term

Obviously, it couldn't beat gold back then

Since the last time when gold prices had been about 500 dollars was more than a decade ago. More specifically, gold crossed the 500 dollar mark in December 2005, i.e. more than 11 years ago. And in 2013 gold price were in the range of 1200-1700 dollars per ounce (thus Bitcoin didn't beat gold in 2013). Other than that, it is unlikely that gold will rise on its own (apart from follar devaluation if that should happen). But Bitcoin has been on the rise since November, i.e. over 4 months, and if dollar depreciates heavily, Bitcoin will certainly continue to rise and likely outperform gold

It seems to me that one bitcoin and one ounce of gold can not be equaled. It's just like water, a liter of water is worth a penny, but try to live without it. Therefore, let the gold and has a lower price, but its value is eternal.

[Pettuh4]

It is a great achievement that Bitcoin was able to surpass the price of an ounce of hold for the first time, we hope for more as more investors join this wonderful technology.
