This year, gold and copper have been the standout performers among major assets.Gold's strength reflects ongoing concerns about debt levels, currency stability, and geopolitical risks—traditional drivers for safe-haven demand.Copper's gains tie directly to real-world needs: AI data centers, electrification, and infrastructure projects requiring physical materials.Bitcoin hasn't seen the same inflows yet, even with its "digital gold" narrative and tech angle. Institutions have absorbed ETF launches, and sovereign buyers still lean toward physical gold.Historically, gold often moves first in uncertain times, with Bitcoin following in later stages of the cycle.Markets seem to be waiting for the right triggers rather than rejecting digital assets outright.I've found these phase differences common in multi-asset cycles.Anyone else noticing similar patterns this year?#bitcoin #crypto
