As CERN scientists transform lead into gold, questions over the long-term value of the precious metal are dotting the financial markets. CNBC crypto trader Ran Neuner argues that Bitcoin will be the winner over bullion in the race to become the ultimate safe-haven asset. Bitcoin To Dominate As CERN Experiment Threatens Gold Scarcity CNBC crypto trader Ran Neuner has pitched his tent with Bitcoin after scientists transformed worthless lead into gold.

Last week, scientists used CERN’s Large Hadron Collider to knock out protons from lead atoms, converting them into gold. Still far from commercial use, the possibilities of lab-grown gold have triggered diverse reactions in finance, stoking fresh comparisons with Bitcoin. “This is really bad for gold,” said Neuman. “Scientists can literally recreate gold in a lab and this makes gold no longer scarce.” Neuman is hinging his argument on diamond charts after the discovery of lab-grown diamonds. He notes that since lab-grown diamonds entered the market, supply is outpacing demand, adversely affecting the scarce value of diamonds. Drawing comparisons, Neuner notes that lab-grown gold costing a fraction of naturally occurring precious metal will trigger a mass pivot to Bitcoin. Despite the prediction, Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff says BTC is opposite to gold, taking swipes at comparisons between both assets. “Once people realize this, there will be a huge shift into Bitcoin,” said Neuner.
