Bitcoin Competes With Gold in an Epic Smackdown

September 13, 2017

New York (Sept 13)  There is a fierce debate dividing people: is Bitcoin the new gold? During turbulent times such as a hurricane or North Korea's nuclear threats, we have seen money shifting to safe haven assets such as Bitcoin and gold. Of course, Bitcoin investors swear by the fact that the cryptocurrency has more upside.

But gold is demonstrating a little more stability.On Friday, Gold prices traded at one-year high on, helped by a broadly weaker U.S. dollar and lingering concerns over North Korea tensions with the rest of the world.

On the other hand, Bitcoin fell after of Chinese regulators imposed a ban on individuals and businesses from raising funds through initial coin offerings (ICOs). On Tuesday, Bitcoin's valuation fell another 2% after JPMorgan (JPM - Get Report) CEO slammed Bitcoin as "worse than tulip bulbs" at the 7th Annual Delivering Alpha Conference.
