Gold has been a disastrous investment since 2020. It has lost 84% of its purchasing power compared to a finite sound money asset like Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the hurdle rate. If you can't beat it, you have to buy it. (Chart: @philrosenn)
It is hilarious to see the gold bugs upset in the replies. They feel like I am picking on them, but I've been doing the same analysis of other assets too. Since 2020, the S&P 500 is down 88% & gold is down 84% priced in bitcoin. Not much difference 🤷🏽‍♂️
Everyone is bragging the S&P 500 is up more than 100% since 2020, but the index is actually down 88% when priced in a hard asset like bitcoin. Bitcoin is the hurdle rate. If you can’t beat it, you have to buy it. (H/t @philrosenn)
This is the defining chart for this entire conversation. I am not a gold hater. I see the value in why people hold gold. But it doesn't change the overwhelming data that shows gold has drastically underperformed bitcoin over time.
