Definitely I will choose bitcoin for holding but gold marketcap is far higher for now and it should not be what we should debate on because it will only be guesses if we choose bitcoin. I remember when I checked gold marketcap 3 years ago, it was $11 trillion but now $18.4 trillion. Gold marketcap is really increasing. Even as bitcoin added more in price than gold, gold added more in marketcap far more than bitcoin.

I am a part of both the teams! Digital as well as physical. Because gold is not always used for extraordinary gains. It's mostly used for capital protection. It's not volatile as Bitcoin so Gold is always a preferred option in my portfolio.

Bitcoin has a real long way to go before it can overtake gold's market cap. Considering Bitcoin's limited supply, it may be impossible as well. Let's not divide between gold and Bitcoin. Rather let's enjoy both assets.

I only hold bitcoin and no gold but to be fair: bitcoin won't easily overtake gold and it won't happen in the near future.

It is true that bitcoin is getting a lot of attention from all over the world and the demand for it is also increasing significantly. But if we do the polls, we will see that the demand for bitcoin is not as big as we think and will not be enough to compare with gold, an asset that has been around for thousands of years and is in demand worldwide . Like in my area most people have heard and know about bitcoin but when I ask them if they want to invest or have invested in bitcoin they all seem hesitant and not ready. So expecting bitcoin to outperform gold in this bull cycle or the next is just hype and somewhat biased prediction.

Now Bitcoin is ranked 8th in the list of assets with the largest market capitalization and Gold is at the top with USD 17.23 trillion. That number may have changed.
It is reasonable if Gold as an asset with that capitalization is compared to Bitcoin which is very far from Gold when Bitcoin was created. We must admit that Bitcoin is an asset that is in the top 10 with a limited amount.
The potential for Bitcoin to rise in rank leaving the assets above it has a high possibility of happening if several influential countries in the world continue to realize the importance of Bitcoin.
You know which side I am on.

In the current cycle, it sounds too exaggerating, but in my view for sure Bitcoin is gonna hit $1M and I'm talking about this for the next 5 to 10 years plan where when Bitcoin reaches that level in the capital race sure it's gonna beat GOLD, Ohhh Satoshi how proudful are you gonna feel after creating a digital asset which is gonna dominate the asset class ranking haha.

I want to do something crazy like him in any field where my name should be remembered in good books, anyway, for now, Bitcoin is doing pretty good and be careful we are gonna through the middle of the bull run, many people think it was just a random parabolic run but it was for the achievement of mid of journey.

Recently bitcoin has surpassed silver as the second most valuable metal, but gold is worth much more, so if bitcoin can surpass gold, it may take years.
On the other hand, I believe that this will happen because the supply of bitcoin is much more limited.
I know that all the negativities on the fiat side will benefit bitcoin, which is digital gold, and physical gold.

What? You means for bitcoin marketcap to surpass gold marketcap? Gold marketcap which is $18.4 trillion now is far higher than bitcoin marketcap which is 2 trillion right now. I do not think bitcoin marketcap can grow so fast like that. Also as I posted before, the way gold marketcap is increasing is very high. Also I will prefer bitcoin to grow with how its volatility is reducing.

I never understood this or that when we can choose both.

Gold is way ahead in the marketcap and Bitcoin probably need a couple more decades to reach that but is that stopping any individual from buying bitcoin for that matter absolutely no, so better to invest on both since two has more possibility to succeed and if there's any unfortunate circumstances coming up in the future at least one will be useful.

The way bitcoin buit it's foundation I was happy because because the usage of metal have been in existence now for a very long time now, and from the beginning people will prefer to use metal as a representation of there wealth since that is how they do there things, but the world is changing and it is changing very fast and no one expected bitcoin to actually gain more grounds like this, and since it is now so I won't be surprised to see bitcoin surpassing gold, even if it will take years.

And the issue of limitation when it comes to supply of bitcoin is what makes it what it is because it might get to a point were is not everyone that will have access to bitcoin and gold is a mineral resource thay everyone can actually have access to as far the money to buy is available and it is almost every were and bitcoin gives more opportunities than gold.

And the way the price of bitcoin have been increasing it is giving more opportunities to bitcoin because the number of investors have increased and that is why I think it's more interesting, to do bitcoin than gold.
