I have never considered Bitcoin to be rival to gold or even the dollar, as far as I am concerned it’s just monopoly money , reminiscent of tulip mania. The fed will never allow anything other then the dollar, plus there is not enough crypto currencies for commercial transaction as presently used dollar. There may be reset of some currencies to be backed by gold , like suggested by Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir, but even that is doubtful, unless China backs it own currency with gold. Look what happened to Gadaffi when he wanted to introduce African gold backed dinar and wanted to trade oil for gold. Don’t expect any monumental changes in your life time , just hang on to your gold and (silver-maybe).
