If you own Bitcoin, rejoice: A single unit of digital cryptocurrency is now worth more than an ounce
If you own Bitcoin, rejoice: A single unit of digital cryptocurrency is now worth more than an ounce of actual, physical gold. 。
According to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index, the price of 1 Bitcoin is $1,281.95 at the time of this writing, while the gold spot price is $1,227.66 per ounce, according to Bloomberg Markets. 。

The correlation between the two numbers is not very important as the price of physical gold has little to do with the price of one Bitcoin. But it's an important psychological barrier for Bitcoin, which is currently trading at an all-time high, as the cryptocurrency has often (and somewhat inaccurately) been called "digital gold."。
The reasons behind Bitcoin's price surge -- after its horrendous slump in 2014 -- aren't very clear, but one possibility is the market's positive expectations with regards to the U.S. SEC approving the Winklevoss brothers' bitcoin ETF, which would make trading Bitcoin in the U.S. much easier. 。
Does this mean you should ditch gold and buy Bitcoin, or vice versa? Based on just this one fact, absolutely not. Bitcoin's price has been incredibly volatile in the past, and though the past several months look very solid, a number of questions loom over the digital currency, most important of which is the Bitcoin community's inability to reach a consensus over blockchain block size. 。
