Recently, the precious metals market has been very active. Gold, silver, and copper prices have taken turns to rise, and the market enthusiasm has exceeded many people's expectations. Interestingly, during the same period, Bitcoin and Ethereum performed relatively calmly, which has led many to wonder—why do traditional safe-haven assets strengthen while digital assets do not follow suit?
But from a different perspective, this may not be a bad thing. On the contrary, for investors who understand the underlying logic, this could be an excellent opportunity.
Think about the many inherent flaws of gold as a traditional store of wealth: its heavy physical form makes it difficult to carry, high costs for division, the need for professional knowledge to verify authenticity, and concerns about storage security... each one is a pain point. And what about Bitcoin? Its total supply is fixed at 21 million coins, and its natural scarcity is encoded in the code. It is lightweight, existing only on the blockchain, capable of crossing any geographical boundary instantly, with no possibility of tampering.
As more institutions and individuals realize these differences, capital will inevitably shift. Every major asset rotation in history has been accompanied by an upgrade in cognition. This time will be no different—additional capital flowing into gold will eventually discover Bitcoin as a more elegant and efficient alternative.
When that day arrives, how will the value of the chips in your hands leap? Feel free to imagine it yourself.

Gold is not going anywhere; I've already gone all-in on Bitcoin. Looking back at traditional assets is just a joke.

I'm not in a hurry for gold to rise; I'm waiting for that wave of capital to shift. That's when the real game begins.

I'm not worried about gold rising; I'm still holding BTC, waiting for the institutions to catch on.

No matter how popular gold becomes, it's still an old antique. Bitcoin is the future... Just wait for the day institutions catch on.

Gold is lying flat, and Bitcoin is also lying flat, but I am optimistic that the latter will replace the former in the long run. The code being embedded into scarcity is where it wins.

Gold going up is going up, but it's really more reliable to hold Bitcoin... by the time institutions react, it will be too late.
