VanEck’s Gabor Gurbacs Considers Bitcoin Digital Gold
Director of digital asset strategies at VanEck, Gabor Gurbacs, considers Bitcoin to be a safe haven investment like gold and calls Bitcoin, digital gold. He suggests that investors who typically buy gold might diversify and buy Bitcoin, and perhaps 5-10% of the USD 7 trillion invested in the gold market may transfer over to the leading cryptocurrency. This would increase Bitcoin’s value by hundreds of percent to USD 28,000-48,000 since the current Bitcoin market cap is USD 128 billion and 5-10% of the gold is USD 350-700 billion.
