Holding TRX for five years has outperformed gold by a wide margin!

Here’s the data: Over the past five years, TRX’s price soared as much as 1033%. Even after a pullback, it’s still up by 850%. And gold? Its five-year peak increase is only 143%, currently sitting at around 125%.

The gap is huge. Traditional safe-haven assets just can't match the growth rate of cryptocurrencies.

Of course, high returns come with high volatility—that’s common sense. But over a five-year span, TRX has proven its long-term value. For investors willing to take on some risk in pursuit of higher returns, allocating a portion to leading crypto assets is definitely worth considering.

It’s not that gold is bad; it’s just that times have changed, and our approach to asset allocation should keep up.

TRX-1.22%

An 850% increase is indeed fierce, but the question is, who the hell can actually ride out the entire cycle? Those who bought TRX five years ago probably already cashed out at some peak. These numbers look great, but in practice... heh. Stop pushing me to be the bag holder, bro. --- Gold helps you preserve your principal, crypto helps you stay alive—your choice. --- Are you seriously trying to compare this data to gold? One's volatility is terrifying, the other's as steady as a rock. How can you even compare? --- TRX has gone up so much in five years, so why am I still selling at the bottom? --- The key is, would you dare to hold during a correction? Answer me. --- I’m bullish on mainstream coins, but hyping up with numbers like this... let's survive the next bear market first. --- Is this for real? I remember my TRX in 2018 was stuck so hard. --- Times have definitely changed, but making money has gotten harder too. Don’t just look at the percentages.

Oh my, TRX's surge is insane! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bought gold. --- The 850% retracement is still there, this data is truly wild, gold really should retire. --- To be honest, over 1000% in five years, I have to admit I'm impressed... but can this wave continue? --- I love the saying "times have changed," is gold mama about to be dethroned? Haha --- High volatility, high returns. I'm a gambler so I'll go all-in, there's really nothing to look forward to with gold anyway. --- Wait, can TRX still go up at this price? Feels like it's a bit late now. --- This comparison is really brutal, traditional assets are nothing compared to crypto. --- I believe you, but when the retracement actually comes, can you hold on? That's the real question.

Really? TRX is surging that much? I remember getting stuck holding it a couple of years ago... But looking at the long-term chart, it does seem wild. Gold’s returns really are underwhelming. By the way, this kind of comparison can easily mislead newcomers. High volatility and risk are just glossed over—wow. An 8x return in five years isn’t much. I’ve seen 100x, and I’ve also seen things get cut in half. The key is whether you can hold on. The bigger the volatility, the more opportunities—this is exactly why we play with crypto. I’m a bit interested, but still need to be cautious. After all, the risks in crypto are unpredictable. Isn’t this data a bit selective? How did BTC perform during the same period? Anyway, gold is outdated. In a new era, you need to allocate new assets—that makes sense. What’s TRX’s current position? If I want to buy the dip, how should I choose?

Is it true that TRX has increased eightfold? How come I didn’t make any profit... 850% is probably an exaggeration, I already sold at a loss a long time ago. Gold is stable, but it’s definitely being outperformed. The volatility is too high, I can’t sleep well. Five years is a long cycle, but who can really hold for five years without moving? Traditional assets should be getting anxious.

Damn, is this data real? I've never seen TRX perform this well. An 850% increase in 5 years? Gold is only at 125%, they're not even in the same league. But honestly, such big swings are really scary. I still need to hold some gold to calm my nerves. TRX is indeed fierce, but I'm still more comfortable with stablecoin allocations—my heart just can't take that much. To be honest, this data is tempting, but it feels a bit overhyped. Can we really trust the backtesting data? Long-term holding is the way to go; chasing short-term gains is just gambling. I won't deny that crypto assets make money fast, but the risks are definitely not just a paper tiger. Gold and TRX? Why do you have to choose? Isn't it better to hold a bit of both? You think the timing of this data wasn't carefully picked? I know all about these financial tricks. Times have definitely changed, but greedy investors never do.

850% has already pulled back, the peak at that time was much higher than this number.
