Imagine ETH finally flipping GOLD's valuation - hitting $5K would be something special. The idea of a digital asset outpacing thousands of years of gold tradition feels like a watershed moment for crypto. Worth watching if Ethereum can actually pull that off.

ETH-1,12%

5k? Still early, need to break 3k first before talking.

Can 5K really come? It still feels a bit uncertain... But if it really surpasses gold, then it's definitely a breaking point moment.

5k is too conservative; ETH needs to reach 10k to be considered a real turnaround, gold-style.

Is 5K really that outrageous? Gold has been around for thousands of years, and we've only been playing with it for a little over a decade... On the other hand, if this really happens, it would be incredible.

Five thousand dollars? Ha, by then, gold should be crying. Or: I really want to see digital assets surpass gold. Can they pull it off... Or: 5k ETH vs thousands of years of gold, that's a pretty tough comparison. Or: To be honest, if ETH really surpasses gold in valuation, it would be a historic moment. But I’ll wait and see. Or: Is flipping gold valuation really that easy? I’d like to see how ETH does it.

ngl 5k ETH flip gold sounds great, but is gold really that easy to surpass... Thousands of years of faith and hardness, our digital assets still need to endure a bit more.

tbh the 5k narrative is kinda cute but like... let me explain why this misses the actual math. gold's got physical utility *and* millennia of narrative moat—eth's basically betting on code staying relevant longer than the next fork cycle. empirically speaking, we've seen this "flip" thesis before lol

ETH to 5K? I think the possibility is a bit slim, but if it really turns into gold... then it would truly rewrite the rules of the game.

Can 5K really come? Let's wait a bit, Gold hasn't accepted it yet...
