If Bitcoin Really is The New Gold

3 may 2020

Let's say the equities market crashes along with commodities, then we would expect gold's price to increase, but maybe Bitcoin will become the new gold due to the nature of the pandemic that we are currently amidst. The key point is this: gold is neither easily transportable, transferrable, nor is it readily portable. It would be impractical to expect be able to readily access gold throughout the entire time it takes for our planet to either acquire herd immunity to SARS-CoV-19 or to produce a vaccine which would be used to prevent said virus. Bitcoin is advantageous in this aspect. A $120,000 per coin call sounds hopeful at one point or another, but such lofty thoughts like that don't seem too far out of reach, especially during times like these.
