BTC vs Gold: the 2025 tug-of-war between code and metal ⚔️
Right now, Bitcoin is trading around the $85k–$95k zone, while gold hovers near $2,300–$2,450/oz. Two safe havens. Two very different stories.
📈 Bitcoin is riding ETF inflows and halving supply pressure. Daily on-chain volume is back above $10–15B, and long-term holders control roughly 70%+ of supply a classic squeeze setup. Risk-on money loves scarcity with asymmetry.
🟡 Gold is being bid for a different reason: sticky inflation and geopolitics. Central banks are still net buyers, with annual purchases tracking near 1,000 tonnes — a quiet but powerful tailwind.
💥 Market psychology?
BTC = “I want upside.”
Gold = “I want sleep.”
If liquidity stays loose, BTC has the torque to outperform. If rates spike or fear returns, gold quietly does what it’s done for 5,000 years.
Call it what it is: growth vs. insurance. The smart portfolio is honest about needing both.
