Thanks for the computation. I already knew BTC was more profitable if you had invested in the early days, but seeing the actual figures really shows the difference. Now my question is, with the current price today, do you think Bitcoin will still be more profitable than gold if we hold it for another 12 years?

Welcome Sir,  Cheesy, it's a bit confusing to answer this, because the price was certainly different 12 years ago than it is now. But in my understanding, it depends on the mentality of its holders. If BTC remains resilient and isn't considered obsolete by established new projects, and has fundamentals like ETH, SOL, and others, I believe it's safe and won't change people's views on this attractive asset.

A temporary shift in position is possible, especially if the geopolitical climate becomes unhealthy, leading to increased tensions, coupled with persistent deflationary issues in various regions, then a shift in asset choices will inevitably occur. Many people will choose gold, which carries minimal risk temporarily, even if the increase is not significant.

The most common answer now is which is more attractive, gold or BTC. If someone were still invested in BTC in the next 12 years with all the supporting factors, such as massive mass adoption and favorable regulations. It's not impossible BTC could still be more profitable though diversification with gold might be wise for stability just the mentality of its holders that is questionable.
