Under-employment: up 909 k to 5.5 m (more part-timers wanting full-time)
Health care & construction hired; government cut. Enough softness to keep a December Fed cut on the table, not enough to signal recession. #USNonFarmPayrollReport #USJobsData
Bitcoin is stuck around $89900, down a bit this week because markets are scared of U.S. rate talk. If buyers don’t step in, it could slip toward $80 k; back above $94 k would look safer. #btc #crypto
Sentiment: “Extreme fear” (index 16); $293 M in leveraged longs liquidated in 24 h
Macro driver: Traders eye 19 Dec Bank-of-Japan rate hike—past hikes have triggered 20-30 % BTC drops
Tech signal: Broken parabolic arc raises risk of deeper fall toward $70 k or lower if $85 k support fails
Supply: 95 % of 21 M cap already mined, limiting new seller flow
Bitcoin is consolidating just under psychological $90 k support; a big surprise could quickly push it to the $70 k zone, while upside needs a daily close above $94 k to restart momentum. #CryptoRally #BTC
#BTCVSGOLD Here's a comprehensive comparison of Bitcoin and Gold as of late 2025, based on recent market data and historical performance. Key Characteristics Comparison | Feature | Bitcoin | Gold | | Market Cap | ~$2.2 trillion | ~$26 trillion || Supply | Capped at 21M coins | Grows 1.5-2% annually || History | 15 years (since 2009) | 5,000+ years || Portability | Digital, global in minutes | Physical, difficult in bulk || Real-world Use | Digital store of value only | Jewelry, electronics, dentistry | Store of Value Debate Bitcoin's Advantages: Absolute scarcity: Fixed supply provides inflation hedge potentialCensorship resistance: Decentralized network resistant to government controlTechnological innovation: Blockchain transparency and Lightning Network scalability
Gold's Advantages: Proven track record: Weathered millennia of crisesPhysical nature: No dependency on internet/electricityInstitutional trust: Held by central banks and governments worldwideGeopolitical stability: Rises during conflicts (e.g., +6% during 2022 Russia-Ukraine crisis)
Investment Considerations Risk Profile 2025 has highlighted a critical difference: Bitcoin is behaving more like a risk asset (similar to tech stocks) than a safe haven, while gold has reaffirmed its crisis hedge status . During financial uncertainty shocks, Bitcoin tends to decline, whereas gold appreciates . Correlation Dynamics The Bitcoin-to-gold ratio tested 2017 highs in 2025 but failed to break through, showing resistance and suggesting gold's resilience during macroeconomic uncertainty . Portfolio Role Bitcoin: Suitable for high-risk tolerance investors seeking growth, best as a small allocation (1-5%)Gold: Ideal for capital preservation, inflation hedging, and portfolio stability during crises 2025 has proven that Bitcoin and gold are not interchangeable. While Bitcoin offers potentially higher long-term returns, its extreme volatility and risk-asset behavior make it a speculative investment. Gold's 55% surge this year demonstrates its enduring role as a safe haven during uncertainty. For most investors, the assets serve different purposes: Bitcoin as a high-risk growth allocation, gold as a defensive hedge. #BTCVSGOLD #btc #gold
