Bitcoin vs Gold, who’s the real king of safe-haven assets? Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan sums it up perfectly: In the short term, gold has indeed outperformed Bitcoin over the past six months. A lot of people are panicking and starting to question BTC’s value. But take a longer view: Since the COVID pandemic, The US dollar has depreciated by 25%, while Bitcoin has skyrocketed 14x! At their core, both are doing the same thing— Helping you quietly store wealth outside the fiat system. No reliance on central banks, no reliance on governments. Over the past five years, Bitcoin has been the fiercest asset against inflation. But you can’t expect it to go up 10x every time gold rises!
