Bitcoin has strongly outperformed gold over the past few months.
Since the leading precious metal peaked this past summer at new all-time highs above $2,050, it has faced a 10 percent correction, dropping, then consolidating in the $1,800 region.
BTC, on the other hand, has doubled since the summer, pushing to new all-time highs at $19,900.
According to JPMorgan, Bitcoin is likely to continue gain traction, which may actually present a bear case for gold. The idea here is that BTC may see capital inflows as investors swap the precious metal for the leading cryptocurrency.
