Bitcoin isn’t a safe haven like gold; it’s a safe haven from a collapsing system. Gold is designed to preserve value in the context of the existing financial world. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is designed to thrive as that world falls apart. The gold community’s FUD didn’t push me away, it actually sparked my curiosity. And looking back, had I chosen gold over Bitcoin five, my performance would’ve been over 10x worse: in the past five years it’s been 984% vs. just 99%. That speaks for itself.
I believe Bitcoin’s nature is fundamentally superior to gold’s and, over time, it will behave accordingly, but it’s also a newer and more misunderstood asset, and sometimes those misunderstandings get priced in. What we often interpret as volatility is actually Bitcoin reflecting reality more quickly and accurately than most other markets.
Because Bitcoin is one of the most liquid and accessible assets in the world, it’s often the first to react in moments of global uncertainty. That can mean sharp dips due to panic, but those dips are signals. More than once, I’ve seen Bitcoin move 30 minutes to an hour before major news breaks. As adoption grows, I believe this lead time will only increase; Bitcoin is becoming the world’s financial seismograph.
To put it bluntly: we’re in Dom’s car, Fast and Furious style. The fiat crowd and gold bugs hit the nitrous early, thinking they’ve won, but that was premature. Bitcoin’s just getting started, and when it kicks in, it’s going to blow past them and win the race.
