Comparing it to gold would make people easily understand what this technology is all about. Bitcoin is actually the new gold.

Bitcoin is termed as digital gold as its value has increased tremendously and also as it has attracted more gold investors.But still,gold has been used as a safer investment for centuries and it's free from high volatile nature which bitcoin lacks.

Bitcoin is not growing proportional with Gold, bitcoin is volatile while gold is not. The bitcoin might suddenly drop in value while gold maintain its value and increase even more as time pass by.

In my opinion Bitcoin can not be called digital gold because the price of gold does not fall. The price of gold continues to rise and there is no risk of falling its price. Bitcoin has a period of ups and downs so people who are investors can lose. But bitcoin is appreciated if it is only used in the future as it benefits the real world

The billionaire venture capitalist is doubling down on BTC, likening the digital coin to gold’s online equal.

Thiel touts the No. 1 cryptocurrency for its size and its ability to compete with gold as a safe haven, saying at the Economic Club of New York:

“I would be long bitcoin, and neutral to skeptical of just about everything else at this point with a few possible exceptions. There will be one online equivalent to gold, and the one you’d bet on would be the biggest,” said Thiel.

But with the exception of a few digital coins, Thiel remains neutral on the rest of the cryptocurrency pack. He didn’t dismiss the possibility that bitcoin could be surpassed by Ethereum or other altcoins that prey on the leading cryptocurrency’s weaknesses, but bitcoin’s strength is in its size.

Bitcoin controls more than 40% of cryptocurrency market cap compared to almost one-fifth for Ethereum, as per Coin Market Cap data cited in CNBC.

Yes,bitcoin is a digital gold because of it has a higher value like gold and it has a huge community that support bitcoin which make it valuable. It is a good investment in today's generation in which we use also a new and modern technology.

It is a digital gold and even one of the greatest investment branches in the world now. Despite the recent dip investment in bitcoin still out outweigh fiat investments. Trading with one Bitcoin can possibly earn you more profits than what bitcoin equivalence in fiat will earn you even in a week.

Leave no FUD unchallenged

Aside from the part where the OP is once again copy/pasting articles without crediting the source, or adding any of their own thoughts and opinions to the discussion...

No, Bitcoin is not digital gold. Bitcoin is digital freedom. In a world of "embargo this, sanction that, economically isolate them, blockade those borders and build that wall", you can now completely ignore all of it and trade with whoever you want, whenever you want, with no one getting in your way. No governments, no barriers, no permission required. Everything becomes open and accessible again. Gold and other precious metals will never give you this level of freedom. Why compare Bitcoin to something that will never be its equal?

I think that bitcoin is the new gold. Many investors are starting to move part of their portfolio into bitcoin which is good news. IMO we should see even more people doing that within the coming years. A good place to park your money for the future , better than gold if you ask me !

Until now bitcoin has always been the ultimate cryptocurrency, and indeed I think ethereum can be a bitcoin substitute for the future and that's great.

Flying Hellfish is a Commie

It depends on the way in which you use it. If you use it like a currency, then no it isn't even close to digital gold. But if you are to use it as an investment, it could be digital gold -- as you're just sitting around and waiting for it to be worth more (which is what a lot of people do with bitcoin and gold)

So yes and no, depending on the way in which you use / see bitcoin.

Yes, bitcoin is a digital gold that is more popular and famous in this generation. Bitcoin is our gold because of its higher price that is more than a gold. Bitcoin is really great and useful for everyone. Bitcoin is for our future so must keep treasuring it. We must keep it and keep trusting it with all our hearts.

I think gold is very different, because the comparison is not just about price. funsgi and usability of gold is very different from Bitcoin. So obviously gold and bitcoin can not be equated.
Gold has been trusted since thousands of years ago as a valuable commodity and the price is stable. I can not guess the bitcoin will last thousands of years.
