Bitcoin is now worth more than gold
    #24133219 - 03/03/17 09:38 AM (6 years, 10 months ago)

I'm lucky I got out of one of them and into the other! The question is: where does bitcoin go from here? Will we see the day where it is a valid alternative money?

I think they're going to have Bitcoin start trading on the exchanges in ETF form, that will destroy it.

Bitcoin is a fiat currency that doesn't have a government guaranteeing its value. It won't last

Bitcoin has been allowed to trade freely on just the existing supply of coins and demand, when it goes on the exchanges the boys on Wall Street will start using their usual tactics of naked shorting (selling units of coin that don't even exist) to drive the price down at will.

This will most likely start discouraging the existing holders of Bitcoin which will lead to even more selling and then the rest is history.

This doesn't mean that Bitcoin will not exist, but the pricing on the unit will no longer be a natural market, the crooks will now control the pricing of it, I would imagine TPTB do NOT want to see Bitcoin to be a real alternative currency.

How can bitcoin be worth more than gold?

You cant weigh bit coin.

How can you compare the values? How many bitcoins = how much gold?

If you say 1 btc = 1mg gold then yeah for sure BTC is worth more but if you say 1 btc = 1 ton of gold then gold is worth more. Who decides? Nobody because you cant compare two things if there is no common method of measurement.

Could you explain it to me please? Im sure there is an answer but im puzzled.

So if you trade btc in for gold you are getting a worse deal than if you traded the same amount of btc for money? Because you only get an ounce per bitcoin but one bitcoin is worth more than an ounce? Am i understanding this correctly?

The difference is still comparatively small - like a percent or so.

This isn't the first time bitcoin has been in the 1000+ dollar range.

Gold hovers around 1300 usd per troy oz (30 grams). Bitcoin is currently at 1270 usd so
1 bitcoin is worth the same amount of usd as 1 troy oz of gold

For some nostalgia, here is my old main mining rig.  This must be from 2012 or so.

I'm not an expert nor even an educated observer but I read some money guru (maybe Buffett, I'm not sure) say that there will be a digital currency in the future, but it might night be bitcoin.
