It is undeniable that gold is one of the most popular forms of investment in society, gold is considered an asset whose value does not go down easily. As technology develops, Bitcoin is present in the midst of society, Bitcoin has also begun to be looked at as an investment instrument by a number of investors. Bitcoin is starting to be considered as having a value that is not easily shaken even though the economic conditions are weak. Due to the character of Bitcoin which is resistant to inflation, Bitcoin is also called digital gold.
Seen from one side, Bitcoin and gold have the same function, but when measured in terms of buying and selling values, Bitcoin and Gold have different characters. The price of gold is influenced by many things, such as the uncertainty of global conditions, supply and demand (gold), monetary policy, inflation and the dollar exchange also greatly affect the price of gold. What affects the price of Gold does not apply to Bitcoin because there is no centralized system that regulates buying and selling prices. The price of Bitcoin can decrease by more than 20 percent and can increase by more than 20 percent in a day. That is the reason it is difficult to determine what the ideal price of Bitcoin is because it is purely determined by demand and supply activities that occur in the market.
I wouldn't say gold and bitcoin has the same function because gold is something you invest into and can't use, and it's a physical thing that you need to go and buy. Whereas, when you are talking about bitcoin, you are talking about something digital which you can do from your phone which people use more and more everyday, and you need to also make sure that you are making a profit when the time comes and just sell right there on your phone wherever you are, could be home, could be work, could be while sleeping on your bed, could be on the bus going to work, it's the ease of the trade that makes it more fun.
On top of that you can use it like money, you can pay people with it, you do not have that in gold unfortunately and that is why I believe bitcoin should be bigger than gold.
