Bitcoin vs Gold - Which will win the % of increase 10 Year Race?
The price of gold is often thought to be a less volatile investment whereas Bitcoin is actually expected to have some significant spurts of volatility.
Like a horse race, each might nose ahead on and off, then fall back, and then one finds its stamina to make a final burst to the finish line.
Putting the same dollar amount of capital (in July, 2025) in both Gold and Bitcoin when they both bolt out of the starting gate for a 10 year race to 2035 - which one (Gold or Bitcoin) will emerge to win the 'percentage of increase' race?
Will there be a clear winner right out of the starting gate, or at the midway 5 year point, or will it be neck-and-neck down the stretch with one coming on strong at the finish line?
If you look at the prices of the past 15 years, the undisputed leader will be bitcoin, which showed a crazy return compared to gold. I assume that in the next 10 years this trend will continue and bitcoin will lead in return. Probably, the profitability will not be as significant as the last decade, but it will certainly be higher than gold. If you look at the dynamics of gold growth, then in past years the return on gold was very low. We should not forget that gold is a "value-freezing" asset (savings instrument), while bitcoin is an investment instrument (an instrument that multiplies). Accordingly, in terms of percentage growth, bitcoin will be the winner one way or another.
