From national reserves to personal finance, gold has always been the preferred asset for risk mitigation and inflation hedging. The total market value of gold has risen from a few trillion dollars to 20 trillion, and it is not impossible that in a more distant future it will surpass 200 trillion.

In comparison, as an asset innovation of the digital age, Bitcoin is still primarily defined as a high-risk investment product in the market, and has not yet gained the widespread and solid recognition that gold has. This perceptual difference is worth deep reflection.

Looking back 10 years, countless industry pioneers made predictive judgments about today’s Bitcoin, and most of these predictions have come true. So how should we view Bitcoin 10 years from now? Perhaps this question is more important than finding the answer itself.

BTC-0.13%

Gold's market cap of 20 trillion is just the ceiling; BTC has increased thousands of times over ten years and still hasn't even started.

Gold stability is stable, but over the past 10 years, Bitcoin's gains have outperformed it... The difference in perception is really a matter of time. --- What about the people from ten years ago? They should be financially free by now. --- Gold's market cap is 20 trillion, right? Well, let's see when BTC breaks through 200 trillion. --- The question is indeed more important than the answer, but I'm more concerned about whether it's still possible to buy the dip now haha. --- This logic... Gold's high recognition is because humans have been playing with it for thousands of years. Try giving BTC the same amount of time. --- High risk, high reward—that's how trading works. Is there anything wrong with that?

Gold has been around for thousands of years and remains the same. Bitcoin has been around for less than 20 years and is already called high risk. This logic... Anyway, we'll see in 10 years. There's really no point in stressing over this now.

Gold is so stable, why don't institutions fully bet on gold? It's still because they believe in BTC's long-term potential. The people from 10 years ago are probably all financially free now... It seems that the issues we're struggling with now will be a joke in 10 years. High risk = big opportunity. Gold earns passively, BTC depends on vision. Actually, the real issue might not be BTC vs. gold, but rather who can survive until that future.

Gold is stable, BTC is also stable, both need to be held People 10 years ago said the same, how are things now? Difference in perception? Simply put, it's a matter of time BTC will eventually shift from high risk to a standard asset, it's just a matter of time
