Gold is rising while equity markets around the world and cryptocurrencies are crashing. This kind of punches a hole in the theory that Bitcoin will be considered as some kind of digital gold. There definitely is a correlation and investors are selling risky assets because the yield on treasury bonds is increasing, making them more attractive.
It is disappointing - I had thought that a drop in the stock market would see money move into Bitcoin, but that's not happening at all - everyone is going back to that old time asset: gold.
Bitcoin is still seen as a risky asset to hold and we cannot blame people for thinking that since that is the truth, but give it time, if bitcoin really becomes adopted worldwide by a huge amount of people there is a chance people will begin to look at bitcoin in a similar way people look at gold, this is just an indication that its too soon for the persons to think of bitcoin in this way.
