A renowned trader, Peter Brandt, recently made a bold prediction about Bitcoin's potential price surge compared to gold, expecting a significant increase of 230%. Brandt foresees fluctuations in the gold to Bitcoin ratio over the next 12 to 18 months, projecting a milestone of 100 ounces of gold per Bitcoin. While the accuracy of Brandt's forecast remains to be seen, a retrospective analysis of the price history of Bitcoin and gold indicates a consistent trend favoring Bitcoin's value over gold. In 2017, Bitcoin surpassed gold in price, reaching its peak of $19,649 on December 17. Even during the challenging 2018-2019 bear market, Bitcoin maintained a higher valuation than gold, exemplified when Bitcoin traded at around $3,126 in December 2018. In contrast, gold's price peaked at $1,283 per ounce by December 2018. Despite volatility, both assets recovered in 2023 after a challenging 2022. By May 2024, gold hit a record high of approximately $2,449 per ounce, trading around $2,320 presently. In comparison, Bitcoin reached a high of $74,000 before declining to $67,210 at the recent time, translating to about 29 ounces of gold to own one Bitcoin at current rates.
