It is unlikely that bitcoin will take over gold because the value of currency of a country is based on gold. The more gold you have on reserve the higher the value of the currency is. And one of the best characteristics about gold is that it never days and its value almost never decreases. As for bitcoin its value is very volatile it can go from &5000 a coin to $3000 in just minutes depending on the situation, but don't think that being volatile is a bad thing because just like what happened recently that bitcoin price has skyrocketed and many have earned huge amounts of money after they have bought bitcoin even though there is a fud by china. So it really depends on how it is manage and invested and by whom is investing in it. for governments gold is the better option and for companies and individuals bitcoin is better.

Depends how much gold you're referring to(ounce,gram,kilo). I'm going to assume you meant a Kilo of gold (currently around $41,350) since bitcoin has already surpassed the price of an ounce and a gram of gold. Will it overtake the price of a kilo of gold? I believe so as it's very possible. The only question is when.

Bitcoin's volatility is normal due to it being a very new asset, unlike gold. But yes, gold's price is drastically less volatile.

bitcoin price is determined based on the price of gold.
So it will not be able to rise above the saddle.
It will help in overall development of the country.
Hope everyone can understand.

Isn't bitcoin has already surpasses in term of its price?

However, there's no doubt that gold has been with us for thousands of years and has a good tracking record. It was even used as payment method during the last World War so definitely gold is a good hedge. Although one advantage of bitcoin is that its inflationary nature. Its supply is pegged at roughly 21M so there's no over production on bitcoin and the value can rise overtime. But gold, with its rich history can't be taken for granted and many gold investors are buying it because its really a 'store of value" and not relying to internet. This is some of the argument that gold holders has, bitcoin network can be disrupted anytime specially in the case of a global war wherein there's no internet. With that said, we must take advantage of them both. If you have the capacity to buy, then diversity and get gold and bitcoin as hedge.

Both are good as an investment and people have more faith in gold only because it exists since long time and in long term people have made good profits from it but its price is not too volatile like bitcoin so if you want to make huge profits in quick time then bitcoin is the right choice for you as even with small investment you can expect best profits depending on the price of bitcoins.

Have a look at this chart  


Bitcoin's price is surging everytime when there is fear in the market because of fuds and hypes. Gold's price is quite stable but what you can get in return after a year by just holding gold is way lower than what you can get with bitcoin. Its risky to invest in bitcoin but if we look at how much you can make it is worth to take that risk.

Don't you know that most of the countries are not using the gold standard anymore? That age has passed but some countries still do have gold reserves and use them as a hedge against the US Dollar. But that does not mean their currency's value will be higher the more gold they have stored.

And one of the best characteristics about gold is that it never days and its value almost never decreases. As for bitcoin its value is very volatile it can go from &5000 a coin to $3000 in just minutes depending on the situation, but don't think that being volatile is a bad thing because just like what happened recently that bitcoin price has skyrocketed and many have earned huge amounts of money after they have bought bitcoin even though there is a fud by china.

Gold is traded in markets around the world, of course its value also goes down. Check the price per ounce of gold today and compare it with Bitcoin per coin.

In terms of value, I think Bitcoin has already overtaken gold and even in terms of potential return of investment (ROI) as gold has had almost flat earnings for the past many years. We have to understand, however, that Bitcoin and gold are two different investment tool or vehicle and they should not be competing at each other. They have similarities but also differences.

Investors and traders know the importance of gold especially in international commerce as it has been called as the safe haven due to its value and stability. Gold can backed the value of a country's currency though many countries had been off the gold's standard a long time ago.

Bitcoin has been very volatile unlike gold and though we now realize that one factor for Bitcoin's popularity is actually volatility there are still many people who are turned off of it. Had I got the big money to invest I would be giving my nod to both gold (for stability and safety) and for Bitcoin (for high ROI and excitement).

Why not take both, right?

Before when I see people comparing bitcoin to gold I used to say that gold is a different thing, it's physical investment and it's value is even better than bitcoin.

But things has changed and also my belief as well. Bitcoin can possibly overtake gold's value but not it's place as it's still a different thing, the value of gold can be surpass by bitcoin.

I don't limit bitcoin's value now, as it keeps on growing it can even overcome almost every investment and this is very possible.

Investing in gold and investing in Bitcoin is totaly different
People investing in gold are mainly those who are looking to protect their funds in case of an economic crisis, war, or just because they prefer this over their saving account in a bank.
Currently the ones investing in Bitcoin are doing it with the only purpose to generate a profit

Most traditional people prefer gold as usual since much time ago, they don't trust Bitcoin as it appeared recently and many experts that traditional people like to hear don't have a concrete opinion about Bitcoin yet, they just say it's a bubble, a Ponzi scheme and other negative things... But it's true that the main investor of Crypto-Currency world is the speculator and other people trying to make fast profit easily. And what you say is true also, gold is used to keep funds without fear of depreciation in fiat.

Do you really believe this pump is because of BTG that may never be accepted anywhere and that can be trading for something like $10 each? lso, we aren't talking about bitcoin gold here, but bitcoin and physical gold!

Not that hard to find. You can clearly see that 1BTC used to be worth less than 1 ounce of gold just a year ago, and now it's over 4! IMO that's an incredible gain.

I love the comments in the graph, people see what they want to see and if they want to say bitcoin is not going to last they are going to find something to support their criticism despite that fact that bitcoin is probably the most profitable investment since the date bitcoin was created, but if they want to keep badmouthing bitcoin let them, we will get the profits and they will get the regrets.
