That's interesting, people here were quite often saying that Bitcoin can reach hundreds and thousands or even millions of dollars per BTC, but this comparison with gold really adds some perspective. I think Bitcoin is very far from being as good as gold in terms of store of value/asset/money, so $350,000 or similar price levels wouldn't be sustainable in the near future. The current ATH of $20,000 is already 5.7% of gold's marketcap, which is a pretty good result for an asset that was only 8 years old at the time.

Since its birth, Bitcoin (BTC) has been lauded as an alternative to traditional assets day in and day out. Most notably, the cryptocurrency is. in the eyes of some pundits, a replacement to gold, specifically the metal’s store of value capabilities. But if Bitcoin takes over gold’s hegemony, what would happen to the value of BTC?

The Case For A Six-Figure Bitcoin
According to HodlWhale, a Seattle-based cryptocurrency investor, a world where Bitcoin has absorbed all the value of the gold in circulation would see BTC valued at $350,000.
This figure isn’t exactly baseless. As reported by NewsBTC on an earlier date, all gold in circulation is currently valued at approximately $7.83 trillion, while all BTC has a mere $94 billion valuation. If the latter was to fully displace the value of the first, Crypto Voices, an industry analytics and research group, estimated that BTC would swell to a value of $450,000 — slightly above HodlWhale’s estimate.
