#比特币与黄金战争 Reflecting on Asset Performance in 2025

This year, the performance of traditional safe-haven assets was unexpected. Gold soared by 137% throughout the year, and silver also increased by 68%, with risk aversion dominating the market. In contrast, cryptocurrencies led by $BTC and $ETH did not have a good year—Bitcoin declined by 9.9% overall, and the halo of high-risk assets has faded considerably.

Why is this happening? Ultimately, it’s a shift in market sentiment. When macro risks rise, funds instinctively gravitate toward traditional precious metals. Precious metals have thousands of years of trust backing, while cryptocurrencies, despite their technological innovation stories, are always hindered by volatility and policy uncertainties.

This is not to say that Bitcoin has no chance; it’s just a reminder—performance differences across asset classes vary greatly in different cycles. The reshuffle in 2025 actually teaches us an old truth: diversified allocation is always smarter than all-in.

BTC-0.5%

ETH-0.75%

When gold is taking off, we're still crawling on the ground. That's the reality.

Gold 137%, BTC still needs to fall, this is outrageous Another "diversified allocation" principle, it's correct but no one listens Can the crypto circle still turn things around? I really dare not bet So at the end of the year, I still need to keep some bullets for gold and silver... Wait, does this mean I should buy the dip in BTC or keep lying in gold? Now saying risk assets have no chance, when the trend changes, you'll regret it. I choose to keep watching the show The comparison between 137% and 9.9% is truly heartbreaking

The figure of 137% for gold looks a bit exaggerated... Is it real? I've experienced BTC dropping 9.9%, but do you think the recent surge in precious metals has been exaggerated?

Gold up 137%？That's a classic example of human weakness. Buying the dip is the art of survival; this rebound should be sold. The bagholders are still talking about technological innovation, but I only see the iron law that there are always lower points. All-in investors have been lying flat for eight years, and no one has listened. A 9.9% drop in BTC is nothing; patience and waiting for the bottom is the way to survive. Market bottoms have always been silent; the more aggressive the talk, the closer we are. A 137% increase in gold indicates that the risk premium has returned; cryptocurrencies still need to kneel a bit longer. Backed by precious metals? That's just thousands of years of human panic. It's all the same.

Should I be copying the gold homework now... --- Wait, gold has increased by 137%? I was still waiting for Bitcoin to rebound, and I got pressed into the ground by 9.9% --- Basically, the market has once again betrayed us believers --- Thousands of years of credit endorsement... feels like it's mocking us --- Diversification is correct, but the problem is I don't have enough chips in my pocket to diversify --- Could 2025 really be the era of traditional assets? I dare not imagine --- So, should I buy the dip or cut my losses, everyone? --- Gold and precious metals have been hot for so long, I'm getting tired of watching --- Tired of hearing about technological innovation stories, still need to see if the market will buy it

Gold is stealing the spotlight so fiercely, the crypto world has indeed been taught a lesson... But honestly, during panic moments, running to precious metals is human nature—everyone is afraid. Going all-in is inherently a gambler's move; diversification is the way to survive longer. Both bulls and bears can make money; the key is not to gamble away your life savings.
