The performance comparison of a 10,000 yuan investment a year ago is quite interesting. Silver rose to 23,793 yuan, gold to 17,178 yuan, Google A-shares to 15,846 yuan, and NVIDIA to 13,165 yuan. Both traditional assets and tech stocks delivered decent returns. But BTC dropped from $95,186 to $88,000, now worth only 9,245 yuan, and ETH fell from $3,281 to $2,988, now 9,106 yuan. Even the Shanghai Composite Index outperformed the so-called 'digital gold,' which is definitely worth reflecting on. The importance of market cycles and asset allocation has been proven once again.
