There seems to be some series of price fluctuations in Gold, even though it gave us the illusion of stability. Anything that's speculative or traded on the open market is prone to wild fluctuations in price. Bitcoin is not exempt from this rule. While the pioneer cryptocurrency has achieved a lot over the years, it's still relatively new to the mainstream world. There are a lot of things to be improved in order for Bitcoin to become a "force to reckon" with.
Fortunately, we have stablecoins to save us during a "rainy day". As long as you're able to make a profit regardless of Bitcoin's price, nothing else matters.
The difference between gold and bitcoin is that gold used to be volatile because it wasn't digitalized and wasn't worldwide. I know most of us didn't live those times, but remember any year before 1950, or just try to imagine how people communicated between each other.
It was terribly hard, and at one point we literally had people with papers running from state to state on horses just to carry information, now I can send this message in a single second. Gold was volatile during those times of course, but hasn't been since everything has been digitalized, very small ups and downs, whereas crypto has been digital since its inception, and still having a lot of troubles.
