Bitcoin Lags Gold in 2025 But Crushes All Assets Long-Term – Here’s Why It Still Wins
Bitcoin Lags Gold in 2025 But Crushes All Assets Long-Term – Here’s Why It Still Wins

Gold bugs are gloating—for now. Bitcoin’s 2025 performance trails the shiny metal, but dig deeper and the narrative flips.
The short-term shuffle: Macro uncertainty pushed investors toward ‘safe’ assets this year. Gold’s 5,000-year track record (and central bank buying sprees) gave it temporary edge.
The long-term knockout: BTC’s decade-long returns annihilate gold, stocks, and bonds. Volatility? A price paid for 10x gains while traditional portfolios flatlined.
Cynic’s corner: Wall Street still calls crypto risky—right before pitching you another 1%-fee ETF tied to the same asset. How convenient.
Bottom line: Bitcoin doesn’t just compete with legacy assets—it rewrites the rules. Gold’s lead won’t last.
