Michael Saylor: Bitcoin to Overtake Gold as Store of Value
In the recent past, the market had not been that good for Bitcoin. Only recently, has the Bitcoin market been seeing some surge. However, even during problematic times, the supporters of Bitcoin claimed that the digital asset would surely overtake gold in the near future.
In fact, during a recent Yahoo Finance Live discussion, Michael Saylor stated that gold is under threat from Bitcoin. He even went on to address gold as a “dead rock” and asked people to sell off all their gold and invest that money in Bitcoin.
At the same time, Saylor stated that in this journey to displace gold, there will be numerous ups and downs. However, instantly, he stated that Bitcoin has a stronger potential of being embraced as a currency by more states when compared to gold. In fact, this claim has found support from Ray Dalio, an American billionaire investor and hedge fund manager.
Concluding Lines
There are various aspects of gold that one must compare with Bitcoin. One such aspect is market capitalisation. In fact, at present, the market capitalisation of Bitcoin stands at $460 billion. On the other hand, on the 2nd of March, the total value of gold was $12.3 trillion. Therefore, in order to overtake gold, Bitcoin has a long way to go.
