When will Bitcoin catch up with Gold in capitalization?

[Papusha20]

$13T for gold's marketcap while for Bitcoin is currently at $1.2T. So, there's a need to 10x for Bitcoin's market cap to reach gold's market cap. And that means that if it's for the value, Bitcoin should be around $600k for its price as indication for its value to reach gold's market capitalization. It takes time but as we all know, Bitcoin's growth is fast. Maybe a three or more halving and we'd see that in the future but  I wouldn't focus on that part.

I think that Bitcoin still requires quite a longer process than gold. So far gold is also very easy to get but still has an expensive price, while Bitcoin is currently very difficult to get and the price will become expensive in the future.

Maybe we will get gold very easily in future but Bitcoin will be very hard to get very easily. As the value of bitcoin continues to rise day by day, the gold market does not go up and down as much as the updown happens in the bitcoin market. If you want you can buy gold in present time at very easy price but bitcoin was very easy to get in past time but in present time its role is much more.

About bitcoin and gold. In the screenshot below, you can see: "top 10 global assets." At the moment, bitcoin is already at number 9. I don't know for what period, but BTC has confidently overtaken Meta. + I understand that already today BTC has confidently overtaken silver. It is likely to take the honorable 8th place. But, it's worth waiting for the official news. Which I don't see yet. As soon as that happens, I will undoubtedly report it here.

Those of us who are involved with Bitcoin or investing now may think that Bitcoin is a rival to gold and that Bitcoin is digital gold. Those of us who are involved in cryptocurrencies will think so, but those outside of cryptocurrencies will not accept that Bitcoin is equal to gold. It may never officially happen that people are comparing Bitcoin to gold. Gold and Bitcoin are two different things, Gold is a digital currency and Bitcoin is a physical precious metal. Just as Bitcoin is the best of digital currencies, gold is the best of physical metals. Without distinguishing between the two, we can consider the two as the best in two respects.

I think comparing BTC with Gold and calling BTC Gold 2.0 helps BTC affirm its position in the crypto market, and makes BTC become an asset with great value and worth storing, similar to Gold. I don't see the negative impact of this.

I myself have BTC, and I have never had gold in my asset portfolio, which is different from my parents and grandparents. People of the older generation continue to believe in Gold and refuse to approach BTC because for them BTC is just numbers on a screen and can never be sold in fiat. I accept this difference but do not forget to update news about BTC for their reference

I don't know for what period, but BTC has confidently overtaken Meta.

Bitcoin is still in its discovery phase in this cycle and we all know that after a bull market, there will be a bear market when Bitcoin price will drop a lot like -70% to -80% from its all time high. We don't know what will be Bitcoin ATH in this cycle, but let's see and the time when Bitcoin definitely stays above Meta, Silver is still long in future.

+ I understand that already today BTC has confidently overtaken silver. It is likely to take the honorable 8th place. But, it's worth waiting for the official news. Which I don't see yet. As soon as that happens, I will undoubtedly report it here. 

We don't need any news, just watch the table but as aforementioned, Bitcoin will need some more years to actually surpass Silver on the ranking table and won't lose it to silver again.

Don't worry Liz... happens to me all the time

The thing with Bitcoin is that it fluctuates, we have 4 year cycle, only unique to us. So I don't think that there should be comparison. And again, after the 2017 bull run or during that time, there are a lot of comparisons and up to this day, I don't know why we still have to put Gold vs Bitcoin every time.

We should let go of this argument in my opinion. If Bitcoin catches up, then good, if not, then it won't affect us by any satoshis, just saying.

[Peter90]

I don't know why we still have to put Gold vs Bitcoin every time.

because they are the 2 major alternatives to fiat currencies, given their limited supply, so people wonder which one is the best alternative.

I agree with you that most comparisons between gold and BTC don't make a lot of sense, especially when one compare their performance.
I think that instead of putting them one against the other, gold and BTC should be considered as friends (and probably it's smart to invest in both).

Yes exactly we should not compare bitcoin and gold with each other because both have their own functions and both are profitable but some people wants investment in physical asset while some wants to make investment in digital asset.

If someone wants to be more profitable then I think he should choose both bitcoin and gold but remember that both of these will give you profit only when you hold it longer otherwise no one will show advantages to you and will not increase in value in short time.

The comparison comes from the expectations of investors in the crypto market: Gold is the king in the commodities market, and BTC is the king in the crypto market. They have different natures but share many common uses such as a reserve asset for companies, countries or Spot ETFs. I think the comparison will always exist, not in terms of performance but in terms of market capitalization. We want to see BTC gradually catch up with Gold to become one of the most valuable assets in the world. I also hope that BTC can reach the top 2 in terms of market capitalization and only be behind Gold in this uptrend.

I see that currently the market cap of Bitcoin is 1 trillion USD and the market cap of Gold is 14 trillion USD.
The difference is very far up to 13 trillion USD and this may be difficult for Bitcoin to catch up because the value is very large and very far away.

If we fantasize and if only the Bitcoin market cap could exceed the Gold market cap, the price of 1 Bitcoin would feel very expensive, maybe 1 Bitcoin would cost 1,000,000 USD or more.
In this reality, nothing is impossible, it could be that next year or in the next few years the Bitcoin marketcap could overtake the gold marketcap, but unfortunately for now I have to think logically because 1+1=2, not 1+1=0 .

I think gold and bitcoin have very different characters, with gold having a physical form with an unlimited supply making the price of gold not have a profitable price movement, while BTC has a limited supply that can have price movements that are often used to find profit by many investors and others.

BTC still has a long way to go to catch up with the Gold market cap, and BTC is moving forward to achieve that goal. The larger the market cap, the slower the growth rate will be, and we may have to wait a few decades to see BTC cap = Gold cap. However I am not worried about that, I just want to profit from BTC instead of focusing on the cap race.

Currently, we also see that BTC is becoming more attractive than Gold from an investment perspective, the flow of money from spot Gold ETFs is flowing to spot BTC ETFs, this is a positive signal for the maturity of BTC in the race with gold.

You are right, I agree with you. Gold has unlimited physical form and supply. Meanwhile, bitcoin is a digital currency whose supply is very limited. it is recommended not to use these two different assets. Having both is better.

I think I saw a topic like this on the Bitcoin Talk forum as well.  Now to answer this question, we must first say that it will take a long time.  And it is doubtful whether Bitcoin can touch gold's capitalization at all.  Because if we notice the market cap of Gold is still several times higher than Bitcoin market cap .  And even if the price of Bitcoin increases by two or three times the previous all-time high price every halving season, it will take another 10-15 years to reach the current market cap of gold.  Moreover, on the other hand, Gold is constantly being mined and its market cap will also increase in the future.
