Bitcoin has definitely tarnished the lustre of gold to a certain degree, and will continue to do so. But gold will always remain a scarce precious metal, and will remain a store of value, even when Bitcoin surpasses its market cap.
The main reasons that the price of gold has not risen along with the price of Bitcoin in recent months are that the gold market is subject to rampant manipulation and the gold price is suppressed by the bullion banks and other evil powers. Were it not for that suppression and manipulation, the price of gold would be much higher today.
But ultimately, I agree with you that Bitcoin will continue to gain steam and strength and value. Bitcoin might be "Gold 2.0," but it will almost certainly become the #1 transnational currency and store of value.
As always, being a gold and Bitcoin investor yourself, it is wonderful to read your review and thoughts on this issue. There is no way I would not agree with your observation about the manipulation of the price of gold by the evil men in powerful places. True too, gold will also be preferred as a precious and stable store of value, especially now that Bitcoin is still very volatile.
Re the last paragraph, I think you've made this point very clear in your DDD series. I'm sure that there are only few years away before Bitcoin sits comfortably at the steering wheel.
Cheers!
Re gold and its current inability to keep pace with bitcoin, I believe we can still be optimistic about gold (and silver). When the manipulation and price suppression of precious metals ends, the price of gold will rebound to its true value.
I do hope so too, quite strongly. Just as WWII led to the abandonment of the gold standard, perhaps this pandemic will inevitably lead to the collapse of fiat and Keynessian economics. We'll see.
