Analyst: Bitcoin has significantly outperformed gold and silver over the past 10 years

On December 29, according to Cointelegraph, crypto analyst Adam Livingston pointed out that since 2015, Bitcoin has gained approximately 27,701%, significantly outperforming silver’s approximately 405% and gold’s approximately 283% over the same period, calling it a “top asset.” Gold long-time advocate and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff countered by saying that only the performance of the past 4 years should be compared, and stated that “the era of Bitcoin is over.” In response, Matt Golliher, co-founder of Bitcoin wealth management firm Orange Horizon Wealth, said that commodity prices tend to converge towards production costs over the long term, and rising prices will stimulate increased supply; whereas Bitcoin has a fixed supply property, which is a different logic. In 2025, precious metal prices are expected to surge significantly, with gold reaching a historical high of about $4,533 per ounce, and silver approaching $80 per ounce; however, Bitcoin’s performance remains relatively stagnant. Meanwhile, the US dollar index (DXY) has fallen nearly 10% this year, marking one of the worst years in a decade. Arthur Hayes believes that the Federal Reserve’s easing policies and the weakening dollar will be long-term positives for scarce assets (including gold, silver, and Bitcoin).
