#BTCvsMarkets
Bitcoin (BTC) and traditional markets like stocks and bonds present distinct investment landscapes. BTC operates on a decentralized network, offering 24/7 trading and inflation resistance but with high volatility and regulatory uncertainties. Traditional markets are regulated, providing stability with stocks representing company ownership and bonds offering fixed income.
Historically, BTC had little correlation with stocks, but since 2020, it has shown increased correlation with risk assets like the S&P 500, especially in high-liquidity environments. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $92,600. Its price is known for sharp fluctuations due to speculative trading, market sentiment, and regulatory developments. Bitcoin's limited supply (21 million coins) can also influence its price based on demand.
