Bitcoin's currency value is not quite the same as these real-world monetary conditions. Bitcoin itself is more like a financial commodity. I think one of the main barriers to bitcoin breaking a high level is time, but the process is tortuous. Production is the most critical factor in determining the value of an asset, even if the price goes up, we can't produce more bitcoin, unlike gold, which we can increase production. As the supply of Bitcoin is halved, the ratio of inventory flow to production will double to 54 (very close to gold).
