Bitcoin vs. Gold: A Decade of Dominance and Schiff’s 3% Fumble

Over the past 10 years, Bitcoin (BTC) has obliterated gold’s performance, delivering a jaw-dropping 37,837.9% return compared to gold’s 186.2%. That’s BTC outpacing gold by 20,219%, or 203 times the return. To put it in perspective, Bitcoin would need to plummet 99.24% from its recent $104,103 to a mere $787.05 to match gold’s decade-long performance. Meanwhile, Peter Schiff, the gold bug extraordinaire, recently harped on a 3% BTC dip as if it spells doom—ignoring BTC’s history of shrugging off far worse.

Bitcoin’s resilience is unmatched. It can drop 80% and still rally back, because, well, it’s Bitcoin. If gold lost 80%, it’d take decades to recover, weighed down by its physical constraints. Looking ahead, BTC’s valuation hinges on utilization and technology, particularly blockchain’s transformative potential in finance, supply chains, and beyond. Gold? It’s a shiny safe-haven, but its future growth lacks the dynamic upside of a decentralized, tech-driven asset.
