Which one gets there first—Ethereum or Gold hitting $5,000?
This isn't just about price movements anymore. We're looking at two fundamentally different asset classes heading toward the same price point. Gold has thousands of years of history and institutional backing. Ethereum has a network running trillions in value and evolving utility every season.
The math is interesting. Gold needs a significant but gradual climb based on macro cycles and inflation hedging. Ethereum's path is more volatile, sure, but the catalysts are different—adoption, network upgrades, institutional inflows into digital assets.
So what's your take? Which crosses $5,000 first, and what's the actual timeline you're thinking?

Oh, wait, reaching 5000 ETH is much faster than gold. Volatility is an advantage!

ETH should have already reached 5k, and I have no idea when gold will catch up.

ETH should have broken through 5000 long ago. Gold? Ha, let it crawl up slowly.

ETH should have broken 5k long ago. Let that old antique gold slowly climb.
