Bitcoin is referred to as the digital gold and after the incredible performance the digital asset has put on over the last couple of years, there is no doubt that this title was rightfully given. Now, though, the asset has moved on from competing against other digital assets to competing with gold. The latter has not done too well in the last couple of years, crushing confidence in its future.
This is how bitcoin has managed to float into the radar of small and large investors alike. The digital asset, returning over 200% gains per year, has proven to not only be a better investment in terms of gains but in terms of hedging against inflation.
However, gold still maintains a much higher market valuation than bitcoin. This is due to the fact that while bitcoin has only been around for a little over a decade, gold has been in existence and used for thousands of years. But what if bitcoin got to the valuation of gold? How much would one bitcoin be worth? Bitcoin With The Valuation Of Gold
Currently, bitcoin’s valuation still sits under a trillion especially after the downtrend recorded in the market. Compared to this, the market valuation of gold sits at a whopping $11 trillion. If bitcoin’s total market valuation were ever to rival that of gold at any time, then one BTC would be worth about $400,000.
Market experts like ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood have placed the market in this position in the next five years. Wood who was going off the premise that institutional investments move 5% of their portfolio into bitcoin put the digital asset at $500,000 apiece in less than a decade.

Gold is at least as old as the Earth itself. The latest theory is that it and the other heavy elements were the result of neutron stars colliding.
Gold has intrinsic value. If the power goes out, bitcoin is kinda useless.
BTCers don’t like BTC now plummeting thru floor, only to hit a lower floor. So, try to put out the idea that at some point it will hit $400,000.
Get out while you can still do so. It’s freefall is imminent.
BTC is the creation of the Deep State Cabal, whose takedown is in-progress. Along with the fiat currencies they rode in on.
Oh, there are MANY good people who own BTC. That suits the Cabal just fine, as they hide in the shadows.
FIAT will crash too. NESARA/GESARA is waiting in the wings.
Not all crypto is doomed - a crypto that adheres to ISO 20022 will survive - meaning a crypto that has precious metals backing.
YMMV. Good Luck!
I claim to have virtually NO understanding of “crypto
currency”.
And that sentence above illustrates the limits of this “thing” as an investment vehicle.
Because you have at least 2 GENERATIONS of older investors (you know, the generations that actually have most of the $$$ to invest) who have no understanding of this “crypto” concept.
And the #1 rule of investing is: ONLY INVEST IN WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH.
Obviously, with the passage of time, this will change, but right now - unlike more traditional investment vehicles - crypto has a “generationally-limited” appeal.
(Don’t try to explain it to me. 110% not interested. Life’s too short and I have lots of better things to do at this stage of the game. ;>)
Gold may have a market cap of $11 Trillion, but you’d be hard pressed to gather up all the gold bullion in the world, put it in one pile, and expect to have even half as much gold in Troy Ounces that would equal $11 Trillion at today’s valuation.
There is about as much paper gold floating around as physical gold.
If it reaches a market cap of 11 trillion, those owning the 11 trillion dollars of ounces of gold will still own those ounces, Bitcoin owners will own a number.
A number that might hold its value in the minds of its owners, or a number whose value could lose all its value in the minds of its owners.
Gold even helps determine the value of those dollars that can be printed in excess and lose their value also.
Gold will still be beautiful to look at, or at least have physical uses.
Thanks for that information.
I was listening to Warren Buffet and he said, (Words to the effect.) “Own a stock and you own a piece of something that produces an income. Own gold or Bitcoin and you own something you hope someone else will buy from you at a higher price. (Often called the “principle of the bigger fool.”) If you go back to the time of Christ and move forward, you’ll see that gold has simply kept pace with inflation. Put a dollar in and later, after inflation you’ll get the same purchasing power back.” I actually don’t think that’s true of bitcoin. I think it’s being held up by hope. It’s the modern equivalent of tulip bulbs.
The fed needs to convert US debt into something, printing more dollars will only create more inflation. Converting US debt into FEDCOIN and making other electronic money illegal fits the bill! (Pun intended)
Has side benefits of tracking and taxing every transaction.
Paper money will still exist but will be like travelers checks, one use only.
Illegal drug trade and other cash operations will be more difficult barter transactions.

Funny this is posted today.
It seems that there are NO inflation hedges right now. Silver did ok this week—but all around cash seems to be doing OK. At a lost of 8% a year (give or take.)
If you buy either gold or bitcoin, you are buying it from someone else. They are giving you this commodity... and all they want in return is your "fiat money."
There is an expression in poker - When you sit down, look around the table, and see if you can spot the sucker. If you can't, the sucker is you.
It's worse for Silver.
No matter, all the more reason to stack.
Be aware of Basel III's new regulations. Be aware of Tier 1 vs Tier 3 metals. Be aware of COMEX rule 589.
Again, YMMV.
“Converting US debt into FEDCOIN”
And so how will creating 30 trillion of new currency not be inflationary?
Exactly why fiat must tumble, the end of fractional reserve bankstering, and 'taxation' as we know it and have always known it.
NESARA was put in place for all these reasons and more.
I don’t have the disposable income to put in things like bitcoin. And of course, like everyone else, I would have loved to buy a few thousand 10 years ago. Now that the big investment houses are buying it’s over. Something just doesn’t make sense for a investment firm to buy it if they can’t manipulate the price to increase it’s perceived value. Pump and dump even. I don’t know. I’ll stick to what I know.
