Bloomberg's lead commodity strategist Mike McGlone recently said that Bitcoin BTC/USD will outshine the most famous precious metal.   

According to McGlone, Bitcoin is four times more volatile than gold and could be transitioning to a higher-beta version of the yellow metal and U.S. Treasury bonds.

McGlone compared Bitcoin with Tesla stock and said Bitcoin's price relative to TSLA might be in the process of forming a bottom.
