the world has changed forever.
goodbye gold.
When bitstamp and other exchanges hit it I'll be on the train here. Gox prices are at this point irrelevant to me. Just funny munny sloshing around in their platform.
In any case we are on the cusp of all exchanges hitting that parity point. That is when the TRUE price (in my view) hits parity.
Yes, you are correct about gox. But the media doesn't care, they use gox because it's highest and they want the headlines first.
Of course all this is arbitrary (1 oz vs 1 BTC, 21 million supply vs gold supply). "Market cap" is much more meaningful and for Bitcoin to reach parity with golds value in that category will take a little more time to achieve...
What a great story, though.
Gold collapsing, Bitcoin UP.
