Gold

In the next 2-3 years, the total market capitalization of Bitcoin will surpass Gold ‘s as the most valuable coin establishes itself as a preferred store of value thanks to its decreasing inflation and adoption.

This is the view of one analyst who also adds that there is “no other asset to own today” other than BTC.

“Bitcoin can easily reach the value of gold in the next 2-3 years. Few understand this. Never has there been such an easy layup trade. Today, that’s about 500K-600K. This is easy. There is no other asset to own today. Won’t be long before this is obvious to all.”

A 68X Rally for Bitcoin to Usurp Gold

At BTC spot rates, the market capitalization of Bitcoin stands at $118 billion, down several billions when prices tanked from highs of $10,500 recorded in mid-February 2020.

Meanwhile, that of gold is estimated to be worth $8 trillion.

Comparing the two, Bitcoin’s market cap is 68X lower than gold’s, the latter being an established asset used through the centuries as a store of value thanks to its corrosion resistant properties and scarcity.

The yellow metal is also coveted by many and has intrinsic value since it can be used as jewelry. Its demand is perpetually high, garnering the support of many like Peter Schiff, a renowned gold bug.

Still, within a standardized time period, Bitcoin outperforms gold. Bitcoin total supply is fixed and from 2011, gold is down 13%.

Bobby Lee has a $500,000 price tag for Bitcoin

Within this time, BTC rallied and is up 6,000X from 2011’s average price.

Because of this, Bitcoin supporters say, analysts should treat this alternative store-of-value asset fairly:

“Gold is down 13% since 2011 highs. Bitcoin is up *6,000 times+* since early 2011. Bitcoin also outperforms gold in most standardized time periods. Once again, history and standardized performance conveniently ignored. Why not be fair to Bitcoin?”

For Bitcoin to surpass gold, then its price should surge past $440,000 level, a 65X rise at spot market caps.

If this is to happen in the next 2-3 years, BTC may be grossly undervalued and at spot rates, a remarkable opportunity is presenting itself for savvy traders and holders.

This price range is well within Bobby Lee’s predictions.

In his analysis, he expects the flip to happen in the 2020s when each BTC coin in circulation will be worth over $500,000:
