Bitcoin competing with gold established itself now as an indespensable asset. Its value, price and demand soared in a short span of time‚ passing 1000$ mark at in less than a month as more and more Chinese go after with what short supply the world has with bitcoins.  Total bitcoins in circulation is just a litlle over 12 million bitcoins with with daily transactions close to a hundred thousand having a market capital of over $14 billion.

In a Coindesk article‚ Erik Voorhees‚ co–founder of Coinapault and part owner of Satoshidice‚ said that cryptocurrency has several advantages over the precious metal. Primarily‚ it can be transported anywhere in the world instantaneously‚ making it suitable for Internet payments. It is also far easier to divide and recombine than gold. 

On the other hand‚ gold continues to work even when the Internet does not‚ and it is a long-standing‚ stable‚ and well-understood commodity. It′s immune to bugs‚ hackers and the loss of community support.

“This is very special, and cannot be replaced by bitcoin for a very long time‚”  he added.
