I am a new guy to bitcoin world.
Hope bitcoin surpass gold.
It already did surpass gold.
True, at one point. But I think that the OP suggests that it sustains that lead.
Put it this way, BTC will either smash gold value, or forever remain below it. I can't imagine that the two will remain equally priced.
I don't see why we have to measure and compare the two. I hope one day for Bitcoin to surpass potatoes.
And how much is gold worth now exactly? What if gold drops to a low price? Neither values are fixed.
That's true, I'm not too clued up on gold prices but I think that it is around the $1000-1100 per unit mark.
I think that the two are compared as they draw some parallels. Both are finite, and both are seen as a store of value - though many people don't think that is the case for Bitcoin per se.
Bitcoin overtaking gold and sustaining that lead would be seen as a serious win. But right now BTC is so volatile, I'm not sure how much confidence people have in paying > $1200 per BTC until more commercial news has been revealed.
