At the current valuations of Bitcoin and gold, a single Bitcoin is now worth nearly three ounces of gold.
As Bobby Lee, BTCC CEO, points out that eventually the price of one Bitcoin will be compared to one kilogram of gold:
The news broke after Bitcoin prices crested over $3,700 each.
Gold is currently selling at $1,279 per ounce, meaning that three ounces is around $3,800, or just a $100 more than the price of a single Bitcoin.
This is especially great news for China that, according to Bobby Lee, is the largest producer of both gold and Bitcoin:
The reality that Bitcoin is not plummeting may indicate a wider market awareness of the stability and longevity of the cryptocurrency.
One CNBC advisor recently commented that Bitcoin was certainly a better investment than gold through 2017.
Other advisors had previously indicated that Bitcoin would remain a store of value in spite of market fluctuations as well.
