Bitcoin is better in terms of store of value and transfer of value. But definitely not in everything. You cant use bitcoin for electronics/hardware parts and jewelry.

If that's the case gold is found over everything, and from my perspective blockchain technology will soon drive the gold. Already there were few ico that were developed over the smart contract platform but were backed with gold. Such initiation will surely lead gold to adopt blockchain technology to make it market stronger.

Yes and the OP doesn't mean gold is outrunning bitcoin either he simply means a piece iof gold is found in almost every little technology out there including the computers that make up the bitcoin network and so essentially gold is running bitcoin.

Well I really didn't get your point. Yes gold is being used in many devices where it is required and the price is less than bitcoin too. Do you want to suggest all to invest into gold now? Will it be wise? Gold is not a sort of currency and you will not be able to deal with it as you can do with your bitcoin.

There is $10 to $100 worth of Gold in each computer processor (intel, qualcomm etc..). Gold runs the technology world. Gold is not getting used in laptop and computers only but also in smartphones and TVs . The gold used in these devices is not recoverable and it make around 10% of the total demand of gold. There is still too much scope in the expansion of the smartphone industry so this demand will go up and remember this amount of gold is lost (deflation). There are other industry uses of gold (like medicine, aerospace etc.) but they do not make a significant portion. Gold is at $1300/ounce and 1 Bitcoin is $6,200 ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) it's too simplified to put it this way, but you're right, it's a very interesting observation indeed ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) this way we could add up also other minerals found in processors, the value would have grown

The Pentium Pro also had two separate chips inside so this doubled the amount of solid gold wire bonding that is usually found in a single chip CPU. Gold refining yields of the Pentium Pro have been reported to be as high as around one gram per CPU. www.chipsetc.com/gold-value-in-computer-chips.html1 gram gold = $40 ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Gold run's blockchain technology in what way. I have been trying to wrap my head around it but still not making sense to me. If gold are included in processors how does it then affect blockchain technology. Is like saying that gold runs the internet. Does that make any useful meaning. Hardware technology are different from blockchain. I think you need to read about blockchain technology again.

Interesting, but yes, I believe that both gold, silver and bitcoin have a role to play. They are real money.

are you serious? because i know that the computer motherboard or any part of it is made of copper (maybe this is what you think is a gold but no) and fiberglass , i do not see any of the parts in computer is gold. what you wanna say? even the processor of intel is not make of gold. the processor is made of Sand. Made up of 25 percent silicon, is, after oxygen, the second most abundant chemical element that's in the earth's crust. Sand, especially quartz, has high percentages of silicon in the form of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and is the base ingredient for semiconductor manufacturing. by the way there is my source. https://www.tomshardware.com/picturestory/514-intel-cpu-processor-core-i7.html

How much gold is in a 7700K, do you have some numbers for this? Or how about the S9 miner chips, how much gold is one of those things? From the same article you've mentioned: Modern computer chips manufactured after 1998 have very little gold content in them because most CPU's no longer use solid gold wire bonding technology or gold-plated lids in their packaging.
For example, the Intel Pentium 4 Microprocessor came in an organic (non ceramic) package with a nickle-plated copper lid, & it did not use gold wire internally to attach the silicon chip to it's package. It's only noticeable gold content came from it's connector pins that were thinly gold-plated. However, the pins were gold-plated to a thickness of only 0.76 microns - that calculates to just around a few cents worth of gold value per CPU

World's 7th largest Sterlite Copper plant to shut down permanently ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Sterlite Copper plant at Thoothukudi will be sealed permanently, says a Government Order issued by Environment and Forests department.This follows directions issued by Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) for closure and disconnection of power supply to the unit last week.The Government Order said, it is brought to the notice of the Government that TNPCB did not renew the Consent to Operate to Vedanta Limited, Copper Smelter Plant in its order on April 19, 2018. Subsequently on May 23, TNPCB issued directions for closure and disconnection of power supply to the unit. The power supply has been disconnected on May 24. “Today, the main demand of the people is that the copper plant should be permanently closed. In keeping with their demand, it is shut now. I would like to make it clear that the Sterlite plant will be permanently shut,” Panneerselvam said.Describing the death of 13 people in the police firing as an “incident of grief which melted the hearts of everyone’’, Panneerselvam expressed his condolences to the kin of the dead and wished the injured a speedy recovery. Recalling the steps taken by the government for closing down the plant, he said way ago in 2013, the copper plant was shut by late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. However, Sterlite approached the National Green Tribunal and got orders for resuming operations and the government’s petition opposing this was still pending in the Supreme Court. https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/newsBack to Gold in computers/laptops??

Your point being?
Yes, gold is being used in electronics(not sure if they're still being used that much or if they're now using an alternative), in jewelry, etc, but can you easily store gold like you can easily access your bitcoin on your mobile phone? Can you easily transfer a million dollars worth of gold overseas without paying hefty hefty fees?
Comparing gold with bitcoin, both has their own pros and cons.
Thus, gold and bitcoin are closely similar to each other. But I do not see gold in the parts of computer, in the motherboard. Maybe that computer is very expensive for there is gold.

Woah is this really true that gadgets like smarthphones, laptops and any other devices has its gold on it? Well if this maybe the case it is not only gold that will run blockchain technology because some parts of metals also being used to produced smartphones.
Smartphones don't run the blockchain... Trying to run a full node on a smartphone is as useless as mining with a phone. As for the first question, there is only a tiny amount, worth a few $. If for those that plan on getting rich from it, just think, if the chip would require 200$ worth in gold, don't you think its going to cost at least 250$? Same with the old computer chips, they were expensive as hell, a pentium pro started with the price of 3000$.

It is true that there are in the elctronic device there is certainly a gold content, such as Radio, Television and Smartphones, more precisely on the Motherboard.
But all of that needs a process to separate between gold and copper content, which requires certain chemical liquids and that is quite expensive than the gold that is on the motherboard, except that you have more than 100 pieces.
