Title: The battle of golds: victory of digital gold
Post by: MrSpasybo on January 08, 2021, 11:41:00 PM
As the price of gold plunged on Friday, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said the rise of crypto may partly explain the sudden disinterest in the precious metal — a potential sign that the mainstream has flipped the script on Bitcoin (BTC) and digital assets.

The flagship cryptocurrency continues to outperform gold and every other major asset thanks in part to an influx of new institutional buyers. Measured in bullion, 1 Bitcoin is now worth more than 20 ounces of gold. A week earlier, the Bitcoin-gold rate was around 15 ounces.

The idea that Bitcoin is taking market share from gold is nothing new. A recent analysis from JPMorgan Chase concluded that Bitcoin’s digital gold narrative is pulling investors away from precious metals. The analysts said this trend could intensify as more institutional money pours into the crypto space.


Article: As gold crashes, Jim Cramer says money is ‘all going to crypto’ (https://cointelegraph.com/news/as-gold-crashes-jim-cramer-says-money-is-all-going-to-crypto)

What do you think about this, when the explanation is quite plausible: gold & metals are put in safe portfolio in 2021, not one that promises high returns, whereas Bitcoin & Altcoins are considered to have many potentials to bring high profits in the same group as securities stocks.

Could this be called digital gold's first victory over traditional gold? And can this trend continue until the end of 2021?
Of course I don't believe that crypto can instantly replace all gold as the primary reserve asset of governments.

The question is: Is there really a war between the real gold and its digital counterpart or version? I don't believe there is, actually. Gold will remain to be an important metal as it has so many uses aside from being a good store of value. Yes, Bitcoin is pulling investors away from gold to Bitcoin, and it is because they are looking for better ways to make money, simple as that. And that means that if the bull run of Bitcoin will start to slow down, they might also go back to gold or to stocks or commodities. Anyway, pitting gold and Bitcoin is a good marketing strategy for cryptocurrency because this is highlighting the focus on cryptocurrency, so I am not complaining (haha I don't even own any iota of gold).

Hopefully this trend will continue in 2021, but I am a little worried that Bitcoin price will experience a correction and cause a bearish trend to occur in the middle of this year, because in recent days the gold price chart has also started to rise, although it has nothing to do with bitcoin price. but as long as I watched the gold price chart go up in 2020, the Bitcoin price fell below $10k.
I hope the price of BITCOIN isn't affected by any of the share prices, so let's see Bitcoin price hit $ 50k this year.

You are not alone with this fear of a coming bearish period for Bitcoin. Well, it can be because according to the history of Bitcoin there is always that winter right after the bull run, though we are, of course, hoping that this time around it will never happen but who knows, right? As I am writing this, a big dip is happening in the market let's hope this is just a normal correction and not a big slide to the past erasing many good gains already made.

Gold has always represented a stable value. It grows slowly, however, and does not fall in value as quickly as cryptocurrency. It's too early for us to summarize the competition between bitcoin and gold. Cryptocurrency is a more risky investment, but it sometimes brings good returns. Bitcoin is still winning the price competition with gold, but Bitcoin has only been around for 12 years.

gold is the favorite digital investment for now really has made many changes for the better in the future, there are many opportunities for profit to be obtained in crypto stablecoins such as gold which makes a lot of profit also by buying it, the possibility for the long term is very good for this future digital gold.

  The cryptocurrency is not yet trusted to be a store of value to the same extent that the general public trusts gold. That said, the mass adoption of Bitcoin is growing. Gold has some industrial use, but it gets its value from others believing it has value. Increasingly with the adoption of BTC, the community is showing its belief in the value of BTC.

Notice the history of each cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is gaining more and more popularity. As cryptocurrency gains worldwide popularity, the volume of transactions is increasing. Bitcoin is currently one of the currencies. Notice the history of bitcoin transactions. And there is a growing demand for bitcoin. So Bitcoin is the most important in the history of cryptocurrency.

The demand for cryptocurrency is growing more and more every year, we can see the growth ourselves, as bitcoin has risen in price, soon we will forget about the traditional financial system altogether, just as precious metals may not become as investment-attractive as cryptocurrency.

I agree with JPMorgan's narrative on precious metals and Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency market capitalization continues to increase, making new investors want a long-term return on the number of investments they have hoped for, I am happy to see Bitcoin becoming a crypto asset of concern to many people because Bitcoin is very rare and there will be no additional Bitcoin because Bitcoin has a limited supply

Gold is not bad but a little too heavy for me, I prefer my Bitcoin because I can carry it anywhere. Governments don't control it yet, so I can feel a little freer. If I can still handle Bitcoin properly, it will bring me even more benefits than gold. Right now, I'll always prefer Bitcoin.

I compare Bitcoin to digital gold. Because Bitcoin is constantly growing in popularity. Bitcoin's transactions through virtual are increasing. So I think bitcoin is valuable.

If I had a choice to buy a few kilograms of gold or bitcoin, then I would choose bitcoin. Gold is heavy metal and it must be stored somewhere reliably and preferably in a bank, since the house can be robbed. And Bitcoin weighs nothing, can be transported across the border, is easily carried in a cold wallet.

In fact, you put it very correctly, since bitcoins provide freedom to the user in every sense of the word. Nevertheless, gold provides its owner with the stability and safety of the value of his savings.

I think digital gold is winning. But crypto cant replace gold because it is made out of nothing.It doesnt have any real value. It can go to 0 any time. Also some big institutional investors holding most of the BTC. Which is not good for crypto future.

The rapid growth of cryptocurrencies has actually dragged more investors from other forms of investment like gold and stocks, for sure it's obvious that cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin gives more profit than gold and people will always go for what is more beneficial.

It is not time for real gold to be defeated by digital gold because this digital gold is in the form of a scrypt code that is not physically visible and it can be called Bitcoin.
Bitcoin may even decline in price and plunge past its previous price due to the effects of being decentralized.
This will be a fundamental understanding if real gold is more worth investing in than digital gold (Bitcoin).

It could be said that Bitcoin is gold in the digital world, while altcoins are silver and the like. The selling value of both of them will change according to the market. And maybe someday Bitcoin and altcoins will be able to be much more desirable than gold and silver.

Digital gold is too risky an investment to preserve savings. It is rather a tool for traders who prefer highly risky speculative operations. Real gold for those who love reliability.

I think it's just temporary because as we all know most countries in the world are badly hit by this COVID 19 pandemic even those rich countries are also affected and the Gold demand was reduced while some other countries were selling some parts of their Gold reserves to back up the economy, thats I believe its not a victory of cryptocurrencies that was often called a Digital gold it's only temporary I guess.

Well, as you said the victory of digital gold I'd temporary , because pandemic covid 19. I think It is reasonable. But I believe at the digital era coming, we will see digital currency more popular than gold. Let's see.

Perhaps we can agree with you, but considering the cryptocurrency is worthless is a big mistake. Theoretically, if you turn off all the electronics in the world, then yes, the cryptocurrency will cost zero, but it still will not disappear. The cryptocurrency will be dormant. Gold is also useless and costs zero when it is in the ground.

Personally, I assume that this is how public opinion is formed. Some authoritative publication is trying to impose its point of view. But the problem rests on the basic values, and they are material and not virtual.

Virtual gold differs from real gold in that you can see the real amount at any time.  This is very important, since real gold cannot be honestly calculated.

If the problem of price maybe this could be the trigger but for everyone to see then diamonds will be the best because diamonds are a symbol of fashion.
But Bitcoin can also be the best when the price continues to rise, past the price of the following year, as in 2009 the price of Bitcoin was cheap and now the price of Bitcoin has become very expensive.

In my opinion, Bitcoin is very well known as digital gold and altcoins as digital silver. Where both of them will soon become official investment assets in the digital world.

I am not sure crypto can replace traditional gold, in the near future, the government still cannot accept crypto, and Gold will always represent a stable value. However, gold grew slowly, and did not decline in value as fast as cryptocurrencies. maybe that's a golden advantage

Temporarily ignore the BTC price adjustment that took place today, 2 days ago, on many forums that shared this image, when the price of 1 BTC is equal to the value of 1 kg of gold. For me this really makes sense, this photo has a huge impact on the fans of gold. It seems that the world has begun to accept the value of Bitcoin instead of seeing it as a scam.

I would expect this type of people to be more learnerd when it comes to such comparison but unfortunately everybody seem to more taken by btc price pump they neglect some important factors, 
How can you compare a hype and speculation with stability and organic growth,  am yet to understand the reason for such comparison,  it doesn't make sense.

I agree when I saw this picture I stopped and looked at it for about 5 minutes and I think that this is a turning point and this is no longer reversible. Even if bitcoin falls 10 times, this will not change my opinion. After all, it took bitcoin 12 years to catch up with gold.

The history of accumulating and increasing capital in gold goes back thousands of years, and that is why it will not go anywhere and no normal government will ever accumulate assets in the form of bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. This is the lot of different funds and individuals.

as of the moment yes! digital gold are reigning in the marketplace but the question is, can cryptocurrency maintain its current position? we all know that after a bull run a correction will take place and most of the digital currencies will collapse. while physical gold stabilize if their is decrease in price it would be very minimal unlike the digital currencies that very volatile.
while the market is in bull run we should all savor the taste of our success. let's hope in the coming days it will not collapse.

Calling it a victory would probably be too premature. Digital gold is too unreliable, and the fact that you do not have the opportunity to hold your hands causes distrust. Under certain conditions, it will not have a built-in value, unlike the old "despicable metal". This situation is comparable to that of green energy in Texas. The old, time-tested energy industry has shown that it is much more reliable in the current situation.

That's for sure!The media play an important role in this. If you are told from all cracks that bitcoin is more valuable than gold, then you inevitably start to think. But the one whose brain is not clouded and adequate is always able to correctly assess everything.

The truth is that digital gold can never be as the original solid gold, despicable or not, it appears not every assets can be digitised,  what good is buying a digital gold if I don't have an actual gold to back it up, it is a waste of money.

It is quite surprising how far bitcoin and crypto currencies have come and what the space has achieved since it's inception, and the fact that this was an idea of one man even makes it more fascinating, if am asked, personally, I think this is just the beginning for there is really more to come, bitcoin and crypto in general are just beginning to gain recognition and I strongly believe that in few years from now, the entire crypto market will be on the verge of beating the entire gold and precious metal market.

Well, in general it is so. Cryptocurrency is now growing rapidly and spreading all over the world. Investments in it are also growing in volume and this circumstance reduces the demand for gold precious metals. The growing popularity of cryptocurrency, at the same time, causes serious concern for the governments of many states, since the flow of large amounts of capital into cryptocurrency can pose a threat to financial stability in the world.
Therefore, the situation with the cryptocurrency is actually very volatile and contains many risks. Big profits are always accompanied by big risks and this must be taken into account.
