Recently, some friends have been lamenting how fierce the rise of gold and silver has been, implying that the crypto market isn't worth watching. After doing the math, I realized—this brother might only be looking at the surface.

Gold has risen from 2600 to 4500, and silver from 29 to 79. This wave of market movement is indeed aggressive. But behind it are geopolitical tensions and inflation expectations fueling the surge, which is a passive rise. Looking at the crypto market, Bitcoin has jumped from over 60,000 at the beginning of the year to 87k, and Ethereum from over 2k to nearly 3k—this isn't about riding political dividends, but market-driven pricing logic.

What's more interesting is that when gold and silver are rising, BTC and ETH are also climbing, and even more significantly. What does this indicate? It's not a failure of the crypto space, but rather a certain degree of linkage effect between traditional assets and digital assets. When risk assets strengthen, the main players in this round may not be precious metals.

The current situation is: all kinds of assets are rising together, but the order of their growth rates already tells a lot. When the next cycle arrives, whoever can multiply tenfold will have the most say. Don't make reckless moves with your holdings; patience is often the biggest Alpha. See you in 2026.

BTC-0,53%

ETH-0,3%

Really, when looking at numbers, it's important to consider the percentage increase; otherwise, it's easy to be misled. The move of BTC from 60,000 to 87,000 is incomparable to gold; that's the answer. Hold your coins and sleep, let's talk about it next year. It's much better than reckless trading with holdings; that's how I do it. Cryptocurrencies are cryptocurrencies; let traditional finance play with precious metals.

Haha, finally someone explained it clearly: the surge in BTC and ETH outperforming gold is no coincidence. This guy is still pondering precious metals and has already fallen behind. Assets driven by political dividends can't compare to market-driven pricing in terms of long-term returns, clearly not feasible. Wait until 2026 to see who wins; it's pointless to hesitate now. Hold your positions steady, don't mess around—this is the real Alpha.

Haha, well said. This wave in the crypto circle has indeed been underestimated. Some friends are already pessimistic just by looking at the gold price increase. That's funny. Isn't BTC going from 60,000 to 87,000 attractive? That's the real market vote. Still thinking about continuing to win passively in 2026. While others are watching precious metals, we've already jumped on the train. Patience is really key; moving around recklessly is the easiest way to miss out.

Haha, this friend's perspective is still narrow. Gold rises are forced, while cryptocurrencies are an active choice, the difference is huge.
