Bitcoin has absolutely trounced gold the past 5 years. The market has spoken.

If the 5 year historical context carried weight in the market place then 2025 would tell a very different story. It doesn't. Under extreme global volatility and monetary stress throughout 2025 Gold has proven its dominance. This is simply starting facts on the ground. I'm a bitcoiner and own no gold. It is truth.

5 year chart is always more telling than a ytd chart. Even on the 1 year chart Bitcoin is up priced in gold. Chill baby.

Does it count if it can be manipulated?

Bitcoin has way more utility than Gold. For that reason it will surpass Golds market capitalization. Gold is superior to fiat as value transportation over time. In that sense it will always outdo fiat. Bitcoin is superior to fiat as value over time and due to less inflation compared to Gold, will outdo Gold. Bitcoin can just as fiat transport value over space and for that reason will also outdo Gold. Besides those, due to the decentralized properties of Bitcoin it is outdoing both Gold and Fiat. Holding Gold is better than holding fiat. But Bitcoin will dwarf both. By looking at some biased time frame you will be fooled in the long term.

None of what you just said is true.

I can't speculate on the relative level of manipulation in gold against other markets. All that is important is that #bitcoiners learn to call a spade a spade. Gold has carried the day in 2025 and it deserves credit for doing what it has always said it would do. The market largely continues to underestimate and misinterpret Bitcoin. That is the reality of the lay of the land. In the moments that mattered in 2025 pools of capital bought gold over Bitcoin.

Wouldn't disagree with that. Just acknowledging the power of gold over Bitcoin at this current juncture in history. Legacy capital isn't quite knowledgeable enough or brave enough to see the true pristine capital elements of bitcoin yet. Early.
