I remember have heard this long ago on Reddit but was never interested in doing the research needed, then I found it was indeed even more rarer  Grin

Here is what I got:

"The World Gold Council estimates that all the gold ever mined totaled 187,200 metric tons in 2017" so this means there is a total equivalent in ounces of 187200000/0.02835 = 6,603,174,603 ever mined at this point in earth.

So with a total of 21,000,000 that would be ever created this means a total of 6,603,174,603/21000000 = 314 bitcoin ratio against gold, so you can say per one bitcoin there is 314 gold ounces  Grin

gold although its hard to mind but its not that finite, so its supply is ever growing, and only rich people can mine it so distribution of ppwer to hold it is limited only to few, unlike bitcoin its limited only and 21m can be mined.

Yes I agree, it's hard to know even know how much are the gold reserves all across the world. The supply will just keep growing and there is  clearly a lack of transparency about how they deal with this information.

They are both unique and a precious. They can't be alike but I guess they will be the most valuable things on earth right now.

What is faster? Water or a kangaroo?

What did you compare here, ounces of gold? Why ounces? Only 6% of the world uses those units.
Let's use grams, it's even rarer, 8 thousand times.
But why not use tones, wait gold is rarer.
Or let's compare kilograms of gold to satoshis, or quintals of gold to mbits, or let's not waster times with stupid things!

Bitcoin is very much rarer than Gold. Based on the calculation done by the OP it sis very clear that though Bitcoin has not come into the full light as Gold, imagine Bitcoin gotten the same embrace as Gold then the world will be better and  free from slavery. One thing is sure that, after the adoption from the government it will be x200 rarer than Gold.

Availability of gold maybe too abundant still because man only went to the top layer of the earth but no one really know what is at the centre of earth's crust so in future gold may found too much if people can go deeper.But why did you compare bitcoin with gold?

The units are completely arbitrary. You could also say that for every ounce of gold there are 320,000 satoshis, or that for every satoshi there are 2.7x1017 atoms of gold.

Yes, on the other hand, it shows how much satosh is compared to grams of gold, or in other words, how meaningless such comparisons are.
In general, comparing Bitcoin and gold is very stupid, since they generally differ almost completely from each other and there is very little in common between them.

Yet they have something in common - both gold and bitcoins are a measure of wealth these days. If you have a deposit in gold and bitcoins in your e-wallet, then you are a wealthy person.

Gold has a real value in terms of use in the industry and fashion! Bitcoins are high value but can easily lose value whenever the community does not care about it! So! Bitcoin has a pretty high risk!

Strange.

Gold and Bitcoin are very different things. No one can compare them together except than its exchange value in fiat. But in reality Bitcoin is virtual and gold is physical.

So, now the matter of, what you believe. If you believe in virtual world which already have been creating its own value with help of technology. And second one is gold which is physical thing which can be brought with money anywhere in world.

The World is entering into new era of technology. AI, Blockchain, ML are major tech component taking major actions for creating revolutionary tokenized economy.

Now its up to user what they see in future.

Bitcoin was modeled on the same concept that gives Gold it's value - rarity  and it is actually much better at doing this, because you know what the total amount of bitcoins will be, once everything is mined.

Gold on the other hand is more complex, because new Gold deposits are found very frequently and we know Gold are also present in some asteroids, so once we are able to mine in space, the Gold total will increase dramatically and the price will drop.  Roll Eyes

You can't really compare bitcoin to gold. Bitcoin is a digital asset whiles on the other hand, the same cannot be said of gold which is a physical asset. I believe when you talk of gold there is no exact or fixed amount in the world. I believe the amount of bitcoin can easily be quantified.

Both are valuable to us, and it's hard to say which one is worth more in the future, bitcoin is limited, and gold is not, it's still so much somewhere in the world.

what is your job so you have time to compare gold with bitcoin?
whereas these two valuable assets in the world have different characteristics and also
I like bitcoin, and I keep some in my wallet, but the world recognizes more gold than bitcoin to be known as a real asset
now it's not the time to compare, but how to make bitcoin acceptable to the world like the world accepts the existence of gold

right, gold can be accepted by people all over the world. certainly has its own advantages. different from bitcoin which has its own advantages. i think where we choose to invest is, or even both

Gold and bitcoin are so special in front of many people. Gold can still be on the mine and prices continue to rise and stabilize but bitcoin is limited when many people mine it, so the value of bitcoin does exceed gold as you say.

One is digital, the other is physical. They're literally incomparable because they have no comparable units. We also have no idea exactly how much gold there is left to mine -- a mother lode could be discovered somewhere new tomorrow for all we know. It's an entirely pointless comparison.

People should really stop comparing Bitcoin to gold in my opinion. They have similarities, but Bitcoin is an entirely new asset class. Comparisons like this are why critics are saying that people are only into crypto for the money.
