The crypto market in 2025 is a bit heartbreaking. Bitcoin's performance in gains surprisingly lagged behind traditional assets — gold steadily rose, the US stock market hit new highs, and even the A-shares had plenty of opportunities. For those in the circle accustomed to "Bitcoin is always the strongest asset," this is indeed a bit of a slap in the face.

Looking back over the past year, the macro environment has changed dramatically. The Federal Reserve's policy shift, geopolitical fluctuations, inflation expectations rising and falling... all these factors are reshaping investors' risk preferences. The demand for safe-haven assets in traditional financial markets pushed gold higher, and the valuation recovery of tech stocks in the US stock market attracted a lot of capital. And what about Bitcoin? In the context of repeated regulatory expectations and a slowdown in institutional allocation, its growth momentum has somewhat slowed.

This may be a reminder: a single asset is never a perfect answer; diversified allocation is becoming increasingly important. Anyway, the market is changing, and the landscape is shifting.

Gold and US stocks are taking off, but BTC is falling behind, which is ridiculous. No wonder my friends are starting to diversify their portfolios; it really is time to wake up. --- Another year, another new story. The once "Bitcoin First Church" now has to admit defeat. Diversified allocation is becoming more popular. --- Regulatory crackdowns and platform closures have indeed dampened the growth engine of the crypto world. But on the other hand, this has truly made people see clearly — relying on a single track is never reliable. --- It’s really heartbreaking, but it also serves as a lesson for those all-in on BTC. The market landscape is changing; the era of greed is over. --- I actually think this isn’t a bad thing. At least someone is finally taking risk diversification seriously. Compared to going all-in on a single coin, this adjustment came at a good time.

Ah... being pressed and rubbed on the ground by gold is indeed a thing. --- This is the market, no one is a perpetual motion machine. --- Damn, gold is booming, why didn't I get on the train? --- Diversification is truly the key; going all-in on one thing will eventually backfire. --- To put it simply, the trend has changed; Bitcoin has to wait for the next wave of institutional entry. --- When traditional assets are making money, where are the crypto investors? --- Face-slapping aside, long-term still depends on the fundamentals. --- A classic example, always the moments when you can't predict the market.

Gold and US stocks are both rising, but Bitcoin is falling behind, which is quite ironic. Speaking of multi-asset allocation theories, I've been hearing about them for years, yet some people still go all in on one coin. Wait, is it really time to change our mindset this time? Another year has passed, and we're still waiting for the Bitcoin savior to appear. Can regulation really mess up the market this badly? That's questionable. Honestly, Bitcoin's performance has really made a lot of people feel embarrassed. Why does it feel like this year is especially different, even gold is rising more aggressively than us? The era of all-in on a single coin seems to be truly over. Bitcoin: "Why does no one believe in me anymore?" The macro environment is so complex; just focusing on one coin definitely won't cut it. Traditional finance is fighting for its share, while we're still dreaming.

Face-slapping, go ahead. I haven't been all-in on Bitcoin for a long time. Diversifying into gold and US stocks is the real way to go.

比特币被甩？早就看出来了，还得多元配置才是王道。 --- 打脸归打脸，黄金美股涨得确实凶，币圈该清醒了。 --- 这就是为啥我现在黄金股票都有点仓，不能只押一个赛道。 --- 监管反复真的恶心，机构也在观望，怪不得btc涨幅差。 --- 说得对啊，单一资产早就过时了，组合投资才是正确姿势。 --- 去年那会儿还有人跟我杠比特币永远第一，现在咋不吱声了哈哈。 --- 市场风向变了就得跟着变，不能老是喊口号，得真金白银跟上。 --- 美股估值修复这波确实抢钱，比特币有点措手不及的感觉。 --- 多元配置这话听了无数遍，但真正做到的没几个，都想赌一把。 --- 宏观变化这么大，币圈怎么可能独善其身，这很正常啊。

The recent surge in gold and the US stock market does indeed somewhat embarrass Bitcoin believers... but isn't this just the cycle of fortune turning? --- Really, multi-asset allocation has long been something to consider. Brothers who go all-in on Bitcoin every day, wake up! --- Regulatory fluctuations cause big players to start fleeing... this is the reality. --- Wait, A-share opportunities? That's the most ridiculous joke I've heard. --- It's true that diversified allocation is correct, but how many actually do it? Most are just driven by FOMO. --- I predicted Bitcoin's slowdown early on... as expected. --- The landscape has truly changed, but I still believe in the next cycle.

Wake up, still holding on to BTC? Gold and US stocks have already taken off Alright, this time I was really proven wrong. Diversification is the way to go Bitcoin will rebound sooner or later. Now is the real time to buy the dip Institutions are all reallocating, and we retail investors are still sleepwalking Honestly, it's no longer as brainless to make money as it was two years ago Isn't stable income from gold attractive? Why go all in on BTC This is called market maturity, no longer just a single asset show Regulations keep fluctuating, institutions run away, what can we do Diversification? Using my small fortune to gamble on US stocks? Maybe forget it Wait, should I reflect on my own investment logic?

Haha, now it's all good. People who listen to "Bitcoin King" every day will have to shut up now. --- It's the same old story about diversified allocation. Why didn't we do it earlier? --- Honestly, I didn't expect gold to be so resilient. It really feels like the landscape has changed. --- Regulatory expectations are constantly changing, which is really annoying. Institutions are just watching and waiting. --- Is the valuation recovery of US tech stocks really costing us so much? What about us, huh? --- But on the other hand, maybe it's time to allocate some gold from a different perspective. --- This is what market education is all about—helping those all-in investors wake up. --- There’s still a chance for A-shares. Who would have believed it a year ago? --- The idea of a single asset is old news. The key is what to use for diversification. --- It’s truly heartbreaking, but isn’t this just part of the cycle? Don’t be too pessimistic.
