Basically, JPMorgan’s Global Markets Strategy division is called for Bitcoin’s competition with gold as the main factor.
“The potential long-term upside for bitcoin is considerable if it competes more intensely with gold as an ‘alternative’ currency we believe, given that Millennials would become over time a more important component of investors’ universe.”

JPMorgan gave three major reasons in order to show bitcoin long term bullish potential:
- Bitcoin needs to rise at least 10 times from its current price in order to match the private sector’s gold investment market cap.
- Cryptocurrencies usually have high utility.
- BTC seems to be an appeal to millennials in the longer-term perspective.
Bitcoin is a utility that is one of the major advantages of Bitcoin over Gold. On the other hand, Bitcoin is a blockchain network at its core that makes it possible for users to send BTC to one another on a public ledger, more efficiently and more practically with 100% safety. To transfer gold, there needs to be physical delivery, which becomes challenging as well as costs a lot, and also there will be always a security risk.
