Gold remains the world’s largest-valued asset with a market capitalization near $30 trillion. The leading cryptocurrency is ranked eighth globally and worth around $2.2 trillion in overall evaluation. Currently, BTC price is above $110,000.
The remark sparked a wave of responses across the crypto community. Analyst CryptoGao commented that gold continues to hit new all-time highs. He also stated that Bitcoin will “catch up and surpass gold” within months, calling CZ’s forecasts historically accurate.
Also, market analyst Ben Todar supported the claim. Todar argued that Bitcoin is “harder, faster, and borderless, a superior form of money for the digital world.”
Other analysts share a similar outlook. Some even suggested it’s time to sell gold and buy Bitcoin as market indicators signal a potential bottom for digital assets.
Todar described gold as a symbol of the physical age and Bitcoin as its internet-age successor. The analyst further said it is possible to transfer Bitcoin instantly and verify it on-chain.
Scaramucci Backs CZ, Predicts BTC Reaching Gold Parity
Adding to the conversation, billionaire investor Anthony Scaramucci echoed CZ’s optimism in a live interview on CNBC. Scaramucci predicted BTC price could reach $1.5 million, achieving what he called “gold parity.”
He said institutional adoption was accelerating thanks to BlackRock’s BTC ETF and compared today’s environment to the early 2000s tech boom. “Ten years from now, we’ll look back and realize Bitcoin reached parity with gold,” he said.
Recent moves by major firms appear to support his view. Strategy’s latest Bitcoin purchase underscores how institutional players continue to increase exposure amid market rebounds.
Scaramucci also stressed that younger generations prefer Bitcoin over traditional hedges. The billionaire investor added that while older investors still favor gold, the next wave of wealth will move toward digital assets.
He described Bitcoin as resilient, calling it “a cockroach that survives everything.” He also claimed that even market downturns will not erase its long-term potential.
Not everyone agrees. Veteran gold supporter Peter Schiff countered that “gold is the biggest threat to Bitcoin.” He argued that the crypto industry is attacking gold because it threatens Bitcoin’s narrative as digital gold.
Schiff said gold’s renewed strength leaves “no reason for anyone to buy Bitcoin instead,” framing the metal as the more stable hedge amid market uncertainty.
