BitcoinVsGold

Bloomberg commodity strategist Mike McGlone is sounding the alarm — he believes the performance of Bitcoin compared to gold may be an early warning sign of broader trouble for U.S. stocks and other risk assets. According to him, the BTC/gold ratio is a “canary in the coal mine,” hinting at upcoming turbulence.

🔹 Falling BTC/Gold Ratio as a Warning Signal
McGlone pointed out that the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio is approaching a critical level of 33x. If it fails to hold that threshold, it could signal a loss of investor confidence in riskier markets.
“The weakening of Bitcoin versus gold may act as a canary in the coal mine for risk assets, creating excessive pressure to stay above the 33x level,” McGlone said in a post on X dated June 22.

🔹 Context: S&P 500 Plunge Wipes Out Trillions
At the same time, McGlone reminds that the market is already shaken — the S&P 500 dropped nearly 20% in the first half of the year, erasing about $13 trillion in market capitalization — over 40% of U.S. GDP. He notes this is the largest relative GDP loss during a 20% correction in almost a century.
While stocks rallied back to record highs, Bitcoin has been losing steam — especially when compared to the strengthening gold price. According to McGlone, this divergence signals a fading confidence in crypto as a high-beta speculative asset.

🔹 Is Bitcoin Losing Its "Digital Gold" Status?
The excitement surrounding Bitcoin as "digital gold" is evidently fading. Investors are shifting back to traditional gold amid persistent global uncertainty — trade tensions, geopolitical unrest, and especially the escalation of conflict in the Middle East after U.S. strikes on Iranian sites.
Gold has become one of the top-performing assets of the year, with inflows on track to hit a record $80 billion in 2025.

🔹 Bitcoin Enters Danger Zone
Meanwhile, Bitcoin has mostly hovered above the $100,000 support zone but has briefly dipped below during recent geopolitical shocks. Analysts warn that a prolonged dip below this level could trigger a deeper correction — possibly down to $80,000.
McGlone concludes with a warning: if Bitcoin doesn’t regain strength relative to gold, broader risk markets could face another wave of sell-offs. The BTC/gold ratio may indeed be the early signal of trouble ahead.

Why Bitcoin Could Overtake Gold, According to Cathie Wood

Cathie Wood believes Bitcoin’s decentralized nature makes it a stronger asset than gold in the digital era.Jerome Powell compares Bitcoin to digital gold, emphasizing its role as a store of value in a growing market.
CEO of ARK Invest, Cathie Wood, has underlined once more her conviction that Bitcoin has more value and relevance than gold. The expected appointment of Paul Atkins as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) new chairman fuels her hope.
Renowned for his crypto-friendly approach, Atkins is expected to create a legal climate that supports creativity in the digital asset market.
Given the difficulties Gary Gensler’s current regulatory environment presents, Wood sees this as a chance for Bitcoin to confirm its place as a pillar of the global financial ecosystem.
Bitcoin: A Digital Gold for the Modern Era
Complementing this story, recent remarks made by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell have attracted more interest in the possibilities of Bitcoin.
Emphasizing its function as a store of value rather than a direct rival of the U.S. dollar, Powell likened BTC to a digital form of gold.
Given the gold market’s valuation of about $15 trillion and Bitcoin’s current market cap of around $2 trillion, the discrepancy highlights Bitcoin’s early growth stage.
Many institutional investors share Powell’s recognition of Bitcoin’s growing relevance as a major actor in the financial scene.
According to Wood, in the digital era, Bitcoin is a better substitute for gold because of its limited availability and distributed character.
Under Atkins’s guidance, the increasing institutional acceptance and legal certainty are expected to drive significant growth for Bitcoin.
Moreover, Wood emphasizes that Bitcoin is a revolutionary financial tool since its natural qualities fit the changing needs of a digital-first global society.
The recent surge in Bitcoin’s value, surpassing the $100,000 barrier for the first time, demonstrates its increasing velocity. Analyzes credit this milestone on Powell’s comments as well as the expected legislative change under Atkins.
These events have not only raised investor confidence but also positioned Bitcoin as a more solid rival to conventional assets like gold.
For Wood, these elements support her belief that the development narrative of Bitcoin is merely starting.
Previously, CNF noted Wood claimed Bitcoin might become a strong competitor to gold as a safe-haven investment during turbulent times for the economy.
She underlined Bitcoin’s exceptional performance throughout the financial crisis and its long-term upward tendency compared to gold.

Bitcoin (BTC) has grown a lot in the last 10 years. But where is it going next?
Let’s look at the key reasons why Bitcoin may stay strong — and what its future price could be.
🔟 Bitcoin Up 46,000% in 10 Years!
If you bought $1,000 of Bitcoin 10 years ago, it would be worth $461,000 today. That's a 46,000% gain!
🚫 Don’t Expect the Same Growth
That kind of growth is rare. Bitcoin may not grow like that again. But there is still room for it to rise.
🧱 Why Bitcoin Is Still Strong
1. Limited Supply
Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. That means no more can be made. This makes it scarce — like gold.
2. Safe and Secure
Even with price drops, Bitcoin has never been hacked. This gives it trust.
3. More People Are Learning About It
Governments, banks, and investors now understand Bitcoin better. This could help it grow even more.
🌐 Bitcoin’s Network Effect
📈 Big Market
Bitcoin is the largest crypto by value — over $2.1 trillion.
🔒 Strong Support
It has the most tools, wallets, and services built around it.
This makes Bitcoin harder to replace.
🎯 Bitcoin vs. Gold
Gold is worth $22.1 trillion worldwide.
Bitcoin is now about $106,000 per coin. If it grows to match gold, its price could rise 10x or more.
🧠 No One Can Predict the Future
It’s hard to guess Bitcoin’s price in 2035. But if it keeps growing and more people use it, the price could go much higher.
Experts say it may not repeat the past 10 years, but it still has big potential.
📌 Should You Buy Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is risky, like all investments. But it could be a smart long-term bet if you believe in:
