A Bitcoin with a price of more than $58.200 is now worth more than one kilo of gold, which happens for the first time in history, setting a new high record that not only has a symbolic meaning, but also shows the power of crypto currencies.
Peter Schiff, known in the world of gold, said he had managed to entice Tesla Musk into a discussion about comparing gold to Bitcoin.
Schiff told Musk: “I agree, I think Bitcoin is different from digital fiat, although they have one thing in common and that is that they are not fiat money that banks issue.
Gold is more valuable than both cryptocurrencies and digital currencies.
The CEO of Tesla responded to Schiff by saying that when you buy gold contracts it does not mean that you are buying gold. You may also have cryptocurrencies “.
Musk argued that in both cases, currencies are “simple data that allow us to avoid the hassle of trading.”
Musk suggests that technologies such as Bitcoin need more security. Many “experts” have made arguments against Bitcoin in the last decade.
