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).
