In the past few months, Bitcoin $BTC has behaved more like a tech stock versus the "digital gold" it was designed to be. 🧠
While Gold has remained flat 🪙, volatility from Bitcoin has provided big gains and losses like any shares of companies such as Nvidia or Tesla. ⚡️
Here’s what this might mean:
BTC is being treated like a risk asset 📊
Investors are betting it is a growth asset 🌱
It is an asset reacting to interest rates and market direction, both up and down. 📉📈
While gold offers stability and tangibility, bitcoin provides advantages such as divisibility, portability, and transparency through its digital infrastructure 🌐.
Both bitcoin and gold are commonly viewed as means to diversify a portfolio 💰 and hedge against inflation resulting from fiat currency debasement. 💵
So, is Bitcoin a panic buy or high-risk asset? For now, it is behaving more like the NASDAQ than a vault of gold. 💻📉✨
