The S&P 500 has actually "devalued" by 88% in front of Bitcoin.

The old statue of Wall Street is showing cracks.

Friends, recently there is a piece of data that has made this old blockchain enthusiast restless.

Think about it, if you had invested 100 dollars in two places at the beginning of 2020: one was the highly sought-after S&P 500 index, and the other was the controversial Bitcoin. Five years later, what do you think happened?

S&P 500 Account: $210

Bitcoin Account: 1500 USD

A sevenfold gap! This is no small matter; it is a silent transfer of wealth taking place.

When "Stability" Begins to Fall Behind

The S&P 500 index, which has been elevated to the status of an investment bible by Buffett, hides an astonishing fact beneath its recent surface prosperity in US dollars: when priced in Bitcoin, it has actually depreciated by about 88%!

What does it mean? It means that if you use Bitcoin as a measure of wealth, then the S&P 500, that old ruler, has "shrunk" by nearly 90% over the past five years!

Phil Rosen pointed out in the "Opening Daily" that a huge growth gap has already opened up between traditional stocks and digital assets.

Two beliefs, two worlds

Warren Buffett's "90/10 Rule" was once the golden rule in the financial world: invest 90% of the funds in the S&P 500 and 10% in government bonds. Steady and sure, sharing in the dividends of American economic growth—what a beautiful story.

But Bitcoin tells a different story: no dividends, no CEO, only code and consensus.

In today's world, where governments are printing money wildly and global debt is skyrocketing, the fixed supply of 21 million bitcoins has become the "Noah's Ark" of the digital age. It is not a counter to market volatility, but a counter to the devaluation of the entire fiat currency system!

The Awakening Moment of the Old Leeks

I have a friend, a veteran in the traditional financial circle, who used to scoff at Bitcoin. Last year, during a casual coffee chat, he quietly asked me, "How can I self-custody Bitcoin most safely?"

Why the change? His original words were very straightforward: "I looked at the Federal Reserve's balance sheet expanding, then looked at the supply curve of Bitcoin, and suddenly understood what true scarcity is."

This is not speculation; this is awakening. When mainstream institutions from BlackRock to Fidelity are rushing to launch Bitcoin ETFs, and every major country is discussing central bank digital currencies, can you still call this a "scam"?

But don't forget: high returns always come with high risks.

As a fraud prevention expert, I must throw some cold water: a 30% rise or fall in Bitcoin in a day is common. If you don't have risk awareness, don't play this game.

Look at those cases of exchanges running away, and look at the wealth that is permanently locked due to lost private keys—this field creates freedom, but also devours the reckless.

Remember the three iron rules:

1. Don't invest money you don't understand.
2. Hold long-term, ignore the noise
3. The private key is always in your own hands.

The future is here, it's just unevenly distributed.

The S&P 500 and Bitcoin are like two parallel universes: one represents the solidity of the past, while the other represents the possibilities of the future.

But the smartest players have already begun to bet in both worlds simultaneously. They hold index funds representing the real economy and allocate Bitcoin representing the digital future. This is not about choosing sides, but an evolution of asset allocation.

Buffett is 93 years old this year, and Bitcoin is 16 years old this year. One represents the industrial wisdom of the 20th century, while the other represents the digital native of the 21st century. Is your wealth allocation still stuck in the last era?

At this moment, the S&P 500 is still reaching historical highs, and Bitcoin has already surpassed $125,000. On the surface, everything is rising, but when reflected through the mirror of Bitcoin, the underlying logic of value is quietly being restructured...

Is it time to change your wealth ruler?
