Gold is somewhat stupid in the digital age, I am sorry to say.
Gold is obviously useful in circuits so it will always be quite relevant but in finance terms of course you mean. The general point I'd make of that is variety is a good thing, too dependent on one thing will lead to vulnerability so the world should and very likely will continue using both BTC and gold and also alot of other things to exchange value like paper debt. We'll be worse off for trying to restrict any but we do hope the most efficient course is the one we take and gold does appear a bad exchange system to alot of people but it'll always be there I think, I believe its justified.
I dont especially want to contrast gold with BTC because they are just so different, thats also why I think they both continue without opposing each other and I think its best to have at least some of both whatever personal views dont exclude yourself from that option completely because that probably means a greater liability to Dollar or other regimes bad implementation of value.
Right now if most of the world comes to agree with that view that BTC is a valid asset to hold even in percentages below 1% net worth, we know that means growth will continue for BTC and it is still very new to most.
BTC has a pullback but overall has outrun previous negative trends. The ideal is to stay above 43k (to maintain the best momentum) but as low as 38.5k could be the pivot for losing positivity or continuing positively to develop upwards month to month. BTC must refine this whole prior range before it can especially make dramatic gains, its a positive to develop volume in these areas.
