When will Bitcoin catch up with Gold in capitalization?

[Gurujebs]

Yes, maybe when the price of bitcoin reaches one million dollars, it could be said that bitcoin reaches the same as the gold cap, that will take a long time. I also never expected the price of bitcoin to reach that number, because it still takes a long process. Agreeing with your hopes, I also hope bitcoin can touch $200K next year.

There is what we called stability in price and there is touching in price, if Bitcoin price ever get to $1M and stay there for a while, then I will believe that it will first touch $1.5m before a massive sell to happen and will form support around $1M, even the $100k alot of diamond hands are anticipating will take much time than they are expecting because the price will not stay their but subsequently, we will surely get there. I'm more realistic about $100k in few years than $1M.

Acceptance of real assets should be your first priority and its market cap is relatively stable. Gold is one of the most valuable real assets whose value continues to rise steadily. I'm a bit hesitant to compare gold to bitcoin because I prefer physical assets more. Bitcoin is another valuable asset whose value is likely to increase in the future due to its scarce supply and increasing institutional and individual holdings. But Bitcoin's price volatility is attracting more investment and the potential for skyrocketing prices. As a digital asset you should take into account the level of risk, but it is possible to reduce the risk with long-term investments.

I also think it is important to focus on assets that have stable value like gold. Gold is valuable asset that keeps increasing in worth. I prefer assets I can hold like gold over digital ones like bitcoin. But I think bitcoin could grow in value because there is not much of it and more people are using it. However bitcoin price can change quickly making it riskier investment. To reduce this risk it is best to invest in bitcoin for long time. I think investors should be careful with bitcoin and consider potential risks and rewards. Good strategy is to have mix of stable assets like gold and digital assets like bitcoin that could grow in value.

In my opinion, there may be an opportunity for Bitcoin to catch up with gold in terms of capitalization, but the chance is small. This is because considering that in the last few months Bitcoin has experienced a decline and now the price is unstable. Meanwhile, the price of gold is stable and continues to increase in price. But nothing is impossible. maybe in the future it won't just be government people who invest in bitcoin but also companies. So it's possible that bitcoin in the future could be someone's option to invest. considering that the current era continues to develop and people prefer to invest in the digital world

If we're talking about BTC's cap surpassing Gold's cap in the short term, around 5-10 years, I believe the possibility is very low. However, when considering the long term, around 10-20 years, this is a feasible goal because BTC's growth potential is enormous.

The amount of Gold in the economy increases every year due to mining, and the Gold price has been steadily increasing for many years. However, its growth rate is significantly lower compared to the BTC price. With the increasing adoption of BTC through spot ETFs and crypto-friendly policies, BTC could easily reach 1M USD and catch up with Gold's cap. Let's wait and see and be a part of this great journey!

Well I don't think is something to deliberate about because we know gold as solid asset not just that but is something that is there for beautification, and it has all possible quality to have a higher marketcap than bitcoin. Now these are are things to consider, gold is also being traded on stock market just as bitcoin, it can be mined just people mind bitcoin and also people used gold for beautification but this you can't used bitcoin for that instead it can only be traded and for payment purposes only. Well there is no doubts that bitcoin is bit mostly traded than gold but I must say that gold has been in existence for since the world creation.

Gold still shows its class as the most popular asset and is in demand by many people, so we don't need to compare it with bitcoin. I just heard that gold can be mined in the stock market, because I am not a stock player. But we as crypto enthusiasts and of course understand the benefits of investing in bitcoin, we still believe that bitcoin is more profitable.

Is it though?
Quick search tells me that low-ball estimate for the gold marketcap is $13.7 trillion, which is around x12 higher than the market cap of Bitcoin.
Now, if we consider that gold is currently at its all-time high, and Bitcoin (hopefully) is in the pre-bull run stage, then - if the gold was to drop a bit and BTC was to pump to $100k level, then the advantage of gold could drop to x5 or x6, and 5-10 years is a long time for Bitcoin to catch up.

Yes you are right there are some countries that doesn't know about bitcoin but yet they knows about gold and they are also mining Gold over there, while there are people whose there mineral resources is only about gold and they have been producing gold for years now. Let me say for example as Nigeria is known to be the oil and Gas nation they are known for that and have been producing them for over 50-60 years now yet they are still known for that. I believe the future of bitcoin is still young and there are more opportunities coming and could boost bitcoin higher above expected.

All our speculations can be reasonable. I agree that BTC price is increasing faster than Gold but when BTC goes up, Gold also does, and at the same time, it's not easy for us to see BTC reach 1M USD in the next 5-10 years. Additionally, the rate of BTC price increase is slowing down after each season, meaning it's difficult for us to see BTC x20 from the bottom and reach 300K in this season.

Personally, I don't want to see BTC price increase too quickly, it could come with maturity and then it would be very difficult to make big profits from the crypto market. Anyway, if BTC can catch up with Gold in the next 5-10 years, that would be great. That will be the time for us to celebrate and talk about bigger plans in the future.

It is possible that it could happen, but I think 5-10 years is still too soon for Bitcoin to be able to surpass Gold in terms of capitalization... we know that Bitcoin is not as cheap as a few years ago, and currently when the BTC price is $ 57k, the Gold marketcap reaches $ 17T, while the bitcoin marketcap is $ 1.1T, meaning it takes x15.5 for Bitcoin to be able to match Gold today... and it is really difficult to reach $ 880k / BTC .... 5-10 years from now the gold marketcap will also definitely increase and it will take at least $ 1 million / BTC for Bitcoin to be able to match the gold marketcap .... it looks very unreasonable, but we will not know what the Bitcoin market conditions will be like in the future. Hope is certainly there, but doubts are also certain.

[Trongduy]

While it's challenging to predict an exact timeline, Bitcoin has shown remarkable growth and resilience, steadily closing the gap with gold in terms of market capitalization. I think as institutional adoption increases, and as Bitcoin continues to be recognized as a digital store of value, the possibility of it catching up with gold becomes more realistic. Technological advancements, increasing investor interest, and the ongoing development of the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem all contribute to the potential for Bitcoin to eventually reach or even surpass gold's market capitalization in the future. While this may take time, the trajectory is promising, especially as the world continues to shift towards digital assets. Another indicator that Bitcoin is steadily progressing towards becoming "electronic gold" is the emergence and success of Bitcoin ETFs. These funds have reached a stage where they are being recommended by large institutions to major investment organizations. Despite market fluctuations, institutional investors remain committed, consistently accumulating Bitcoin, which underscores the growing recognition of its value as a long-term asset.

We can easily see many challenges ahead when thinking about the possibility of BTC cap surpassing Gold cap: the slowdown in BTC price growth and the immense size of Gold cap. However, anything is possible in the future, as long as we have enough time and BTC maintains widespread acceptance.

Currently, we're talking about 5-10 or 10-20 more years, but we can also look back 15 years ago when BTC was first introduced. I think at that time, no one could have imagined BTC's success today. I have enough time, 20 more years, to wait and confirm my hypothesis and celebrate when BTC cap > Gold cap. If it happens sooner, that's even better, but if it's slower, I can still wait with my faith in BTC.

in my opinion, in the future bitcoin will continue to increase. considering that bitcoin is a digital currency whose price is fantastic. that's why both will continue to walk on their respective paths. bitcoin as digital gold and gold as the highest value in fiat.
according to my possibilities. Bitcoin will continue to soar, especially if Donald Trump succeeds in becoming president in the next election. returning bitcoin to the price of 100k

I also agree with you. We know that bitcoin is one of the best profitable crypto in cryptocurrency world. I also think that bitcoin in future bitcoin price will be reach in highest place within a short time. But we know that bitcoin price is also a little down now. So that we should wait until for raises in bitcoin price, if we invest or hold in bitcoin. Because i believe that bitcoin price will increase and also catch up with gold in capitalization in few years later. So we should wait till for enjoying to increase bitcoin price.

I also hope that we will have positive scenarios for BTC's price increase in this season and many seasons to come, helping BTC have the potential to catch up with Gold in market cap. History has shown that BTC's price will increase but at a slower pace, meaning we need to be prepared for the delay of predictions and expectations.

At the same time, a few market analysts using the Elliott wave method have presented some not-so-positive wave counts, meaning we are in a BTC correction wave rather than continuing in an impulse wave. I'm not entirely sure about this. I only believe that BTC is a truly valuable asset and BTC price will continue to increase over time and will definitely catch up with Gold in the distant future.

I also read a lot of predictions about bitcoin but for me predictions are still predictions, I just believe that the price of bitcoin will be more expensive next year. Be patient and wait for the bullish season to come. There are many analyses circulating, but it is suitable for those who want to trade, while for those who want to hold for the long term they just hold and wait not really caring about the current crypto market.
