Christmas Eve made me think of an interesting topic—#比特币与黄金战争 and $BTC these cryptocurrencies, can they really replace gold in asset allocation? Let’s gather at the square and share ideas.

Many believe digital assets are the future, and traditional precious metals should have exited the stage long ago. Others insist that gold’s safe-haven status has lasted for thousands of years and won’t be so easily shaken. Who is more competitive? Or are they simply on different tracks?

Just relaxing tonight, let’s talk—what do you all think about the relationship between $ETH $BTC and gold?

BTC0.88%

ETH0.49%

Gold is really stable, but this wave of BTC does have something, though it's still early to say it's a replacement.

Haha, that's a good question. I just enjoy watching young people get tangled up in these things. Let me tell you, back in the day when I was doing arbitrage, I calculated a rough estimate. The annualized return on gold is basically flat, while BTC can multiply tenfold in a bull market cycle. Can't you do the math?

lol nah, this is classic false dichotomy. gold's been around for millennia precisely *because* it doesn't need internet connectivity or wallet audits. btc's cool n all but one major exchange exploit and suddenly everyone's crying about private keys they never controlled anyway. DYOR before comparing asset classes that solve fundamentally different problems fr fr

Gold should have made way long ago, I'm talking about it.

Gold can resist falling for thousands of years, while BTC has only existed for a little over a decade. What are you talking about replacing... that's funny.

Oh no, that's a bit naive to ask. Can BTC really replace gold? You're overthinking it. --- Gold has been around for thousands of years without issues. The fluctuations in the crypto world are nothing. Don't hype it up. --- Honestly, both are needed. It's not a matter of either/or. Diversified allocation is the way to go. --- Replace? That's laughable. Just compare the volatility, and you'll see how far apart they are. --- Instead of worrying about whether it can replace or not, think about how to hold both. Stability is still important. --- It's like asking if coffee can replace water. The idea is fundamentally flawed. --- People in the crypto world always live in the dream of "overthrowing the world next year." Gold is still gold. --- If you really want to hedge, you still need gold. When crypto drops, it can give you a heart attack. --- I wonder, if BTC were truly stable, why does it keep crashing every day? --- Maybe in the future, they can truly share the spotlight. But it's too early to say it will replace now.

That thing called gold is really too slow. How many years would you need to hold gold to match Bitcoin's returns over the past few years? Talking about its centuries-long status as a safe haven—wake up, everyone.
