Numbers that make you think: physical gold totals 30 billion dollars in capitalization ( based on 216,265 tons mined ), while Bitcoin caps at 2 billion. The gap? Simply enormous.
Specifically, for 1 BTC to equal the total value of gold, the price would need to reach 1.5 million dollars. That's 10 times more than the current level. Cathie Wood bets on a passage of a million before 2030, and some analysts do not rule out the option of 1.5 million by the ultra-bullish scenario of 2035-2040.
Two worlds, two logics
Gold = the anchor of trust in the traditional financial system. Accumulated over millennia, physically stored, universally recognized.
Bitcoin = the new faith in decentralization and technology. No raw material, just digital consensus.
Game Changer
De-dollarization is progressing, global liquidity is being reorganized, and institutions are finally arriving in large numbers. The boundaries between the old (physical gold) and the new (crypto) are becoming blurred. Gold is no longer just gold. Bitcoin is no longer just an internet joke.
The real debate: in 10-15 years, will Bitcoin close this 15x gap? Or will gold remain unchallenged?
