Will bitcoin replace gold?

[BlockchainPromoter]

I think this will never happen to us. There are two different things. Gold is something so ... physical, but bitcoin...

[Arisgado]

In my opinion, bitcoin can never replace gold because gold has existed and known since antiquity until now. Therefore, we don't need to compare it because, both can work side by side covering different areas of the global economy. It would be very hard to see bitcoin surpassing gold. Gold will remain gold and bitcoin will remain bitcoin.

Gold and bitcoin has a different purposes in this world. Gold will always be something valuable to each person because we can hold it and see it physically that when you see it, it's like making your heart full and happy. It becomes your valuable posession. Whereas bitcoin is a virtual posession you can own and also a different kind of investment that can be valuable to you.

We can’t compare BTC and gold together. Because of it's tangible values. But I think it will never replace gold "literally". Gold has many uses that BTC can't replace. This are obviously two different things.

I think that Bitcoin is experimental investment. As for me it is much more rational to invest in gold or real estate. But if you like to be in risks then try to earn on Bitcoin. Bitcoin has a lot of benefits.

i think it's possible from many perspectives but must take a lot of time to make it happen. 100 years maybe

[Alex_Crypt]

It might not replace gold in it common sense, but I believe that in this fourth industrial revolution in can be valued on a par with gold

[penikmatsenja]

no, many people do not know what bitcoin is, and how to invest do not know, there are still many who use gold as a means to invest because it has physical assets,
may be different from people who already know bitcoin for a long time.

Thx

Here I bring you a news to think about it: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-26/solid-gold-casts-of-nelson-mandela-s-hands-sell-for-bitcoin

Solid gold casts of Nelson Mandela’s Hands has been selled for $10 Million in Bitcoin. I suppose that means that for the Seller Bitcoin is going to replace Gold. And for the Buyer it is better to hold Gold than Bitcoin…

I think that what is going to happen is that both Gold and Bitcoin will have long life in parallel and some people will trust more the traditional “safety” of store Gold and other will trust on the potential of Bitcoin.

[commlinx]

It is unthinkable for bitcoin to replace gold and also the different method around. i feel it's credulous to feel that it might even happen. just in case you are reason for bitcoin to replace gold is its esteem or worth then you clearly have the incorrect thought here. each bitcoin and gold has their own benefits that alternate doesn't have and within the event that you just comprehend this then that by itself is all that might probably be required to legitimatize that one will not replace the opposite.

[zelante]

Yes and no. yes because the standard to refer to great cash as the bitcoin price rises becomes easier to do so. However, because Gold is a precious metal, It is a physical reference to the fiat currency holders who don't believe yet in the digital currency.

[Arisgado]

I do not think bitcoin will replace gold. Because bitcoin and gold are two completely different things. Most people are interested in the potential of bitcoin, in its rapid growth, in the fact that now no one can control it. Bitcoin and Gold works in different ways. Gold is metal, bitcoin is a digital asset.

[Raffaele Rago]

That would be impossible or, at least, I don't believe it will. Gold have been the main store of value since forever. People won't change so fast.

[Doy17]

it seems possible but not long-term or prolonged because in the teachings of islam gold will return to the currency at the end of time.

Gold in general is no better. The value of gold is nothing more than a result of a global consensus - at the moment everyone agrees to consider gold a measure of value, simply because this measure is in some form or another necessary. If we assume a utopian situation, that tomorrow everyone agrees that gold is not such a measure, then it will be good only for the production of quality wires and trinkets.
The btc is gaining momentum for exactly the same reason - the global consensus towards the btc is constantly being strengthened. In this case, unlike gold, the cue-ball is not only a measure of value, but also a settlement system, and gold is not a competitor for this parameter.

Gold today is really expensive but the problem is, no one can really afford to earn it even those poor people does not have the chance to invest on it so the answer is, cryptocurrency will always be above gold since more people can work to obtain bitcoins and that makes the volume in the market increase.

[Markpet01]

In my opinion bitcoin cannot replace gold because they are different in each other and they have different value.

There's a lot of things than can be use for payment like card, Cheque, paper money, digital currency money transfer and other token to pay for any kind, but the gold is still remain brilliant this is a  kind of things that can not compare to other. however Bitcoin is probably also remain dominated if there is no organization that released  negative news that makes bitcoin down until it will closed eventually.

When it comes in using bitcoin and Gold, they are different to each other, as we all know Gold is touchable and it can used as accessories and you can buy and sell it. Bitcoin is as we all know it is digital currecny, a Cryptocurrency, you cannot touch it but you can have it, you can put it in a storage, you can sell it, you can sent it in anywhere in the world, you can buy something using bitcoin. So bitcoin and gold have their own way of using. Bitcoin cannot replaced Gold, they are unique to each other, you can have your Gold and your bitcoin if you wanted.

Bitcoin has the potential to replace gold due to the investors that keeps on increasing each day hoping to earn profit after they invest on cryptocurrency while gold is only for a business who is capable of earning it and it was very hard to obtain for just a simple person who does not have that much money.

[Dotakels]

If you consider in terms of transaction, currency, etc., then i'm with Bitcoin but if you consider a real world asset which has definite value, doesn't fluctuate a lot then I would go with gold. It's just my opinion though.

[globe-biz]

Gold does not have the power of bitcoin.

1)What if you want to buy a yacht or house and you have 30 pounds of gold there in your home how can you buy the with that.If you went on the plane with the gold  to go see and buy the yacht or house the government would steal or seize your 30 pounds of gold in the airport and the seller could not easily transfer the gold into cash even if you made it to him with the gold.

2)But with bitcoin you can travel with any amount of money and to buy the yacht or house you would just send a transfer of btc.The seller of the yacht sells his coins at a exchange and send the cash to his account.

Anyone who says gold is better than Bitcoin is retarded
