Sometimes we tend to deny obvious things. Like this one - Bitcoin would be the Gold of the future, and Ether would be the oil.

While there are alternative stores of value, Gold has been the most preferred in today's world, and Bitcoin would be the most preferred in the future.

While there are alternative energies that exist today, oil is, well, oil. While there can be alternative networks and their corresponding 'fuel' currencies to run the networks of the future, Ethereum would be the most preferred P2P network, and hence Ether would be the most popular 'fuel'.

Bitcoin would be the Gold and Ether the oil of the P2P future that we are all moving towards. It is actually as simple as that.
