The market value of gold has now surpassed the combined market value of assets ranked 2nd to 14th. Gold still dominates the world. 🥇

This data is interesting. Many people are optimistic that Bitcoin can surpass gold in market value, but the reality is that the size of gold is just there. Should we reconsider the position of crypto assets and traditional assets in global wealth allocation? This comparison might be much more intense than we imagine. 🤔

BTC-1,12%

Gold is still too strong; it's hard for BTC to turn things around.

The scale of gold is much larger than Bitcoin... --- Honestly, it's probably too much to expect BTC to catch up with gold. --- Wow, these numbers, gold really speaks with authority. --- No wonder institutions are hoarding gold; its scale is indeed unmatched. --- Even if Bitcoin rises another ten thousand times, it can't catch up—that's the reality. --- It seems we need to think of gold and cryptocurrencies separately; they are on different levels. --- Traditional assets have this kind of heritage... crypto is still too young. --- Why is gold so powerful? Is it thousands of years of faith? --- It turns out we've all been overestimated; gold is the real boss. --- These numbers have brutally shattered my Bitcoin dreams.

Gold's scale is truly incredible. How many years would it take for Bitcoin to catch up? We have all overestimated the power of the crypto world; traditional finance is simply on a different level. Speaking of which, why are old-school assets still so attractive? That's the real question. Wait, is this data the latest? The numbers I saw a few days ago seem different. Gold is timeless, no doubt about it. The crypto world needs to face reality.

The golden moat is indeed outrageous, but this data can be a bit misleading. It depends on the growth rate; you can't just look at the existing stock. --- Bitcoin surpassing gold? Man, that's a naive idea. Gold has 5000 years of backing, crypto is only a few years old. The scale isn't in the same league. --- So, the real arbitrage opportunity is actually in finding those undervalued assets that lie between traditional finance and Web3. Gold is stable, but its growth is negative. --- A typical contrast between stockpile thinking and incremental thinking. Don't be scared by the absolute value, look at the CAGR. --- That's why institutions are still heavily allocating to Bitcoin; the market hasn't fully priced in the value of Web3 yet. Give it time. --- The data on gold isn't anything special. The problem is that global M2 is expanding wildly; asset bubbles will burst somewhere. Why not in crypto? --- Wake up, a large market cap for gold ≠ high investment returns. These two concepts need to be viewed separately.

Gold: I can match three of you, and I ended up crying while laughing --- Wait, is Bitcoin surpassing gold? First, get your own volatility under control --- Data speaks for itself; the scale of gold is indeed as fierce as we overestimated --- The king of memes says coins, the accumulation of traditional assets over five thousand years is no joke. Are we trying to turn things around after just a decade? --- That's why the old man buys gold while I go all-in on altcoins—wealth gap, huh --- Tears with a smile, turns out the correct way to allocate global wealth isn't what I thought --- Reassess? I just want to reassess my own investment portfolio --- One ounce of gold can fight fourteen, what kind of monster is that?
