The halo of Bitcoin as "digital gold" may be fading.

Just look at the recent data——

At the beginning of the year, 1 BTC could exchange for about 38 ounces of gold. Now? It has dropped to 19 ounces. Purchasing power has been halved directly. Compared to silver, the situation is even more exaggerated; from May to now, purchasing power has shrunk by nearly 70%. In just a few months, Bitcoin has been starkly downgraded from "digital gold" to "digital silver."

What does this reflect? It’s simple—a silent power shift between traditional safe-haven assets and new digital assets.

Why are gold and silver becoming popular again? In turbulent times, central banks around the world are quietly stockpiling gold, and silver is riding the wave of industrial recovery. They are like experienced old captains, able to hold the helm through the roughest storms. In contrast, the crypto market is currently in a "cooling-off period"—excitement has faded, funds are shifting, and the market needs to breathe and adjust.

This is not just a matter of price comparison; at a deeper level, it’s a matter of capital voting with their feet. Between the "old aristocrats" (gold and silver) and the "new forces" (crypto assets), the balance is tilting. There are no assets that rise forever; only ever-changing battlegrounds.

Do you believe in enduring stability, or are you willing to embrace the volatility that represents the future? Every holder must find their own answer to this question.

Data can lie, but wallets won't. The halving of BTC compared to gold is, frankly, the market re-pricing itself.

Slashed? I’ve cut all the way down to the ankle, brother. --- Another power shift, and I’m still dying on the last battlefield. --- When the central bank was hoarding gold, I was chasing the rise. Now it’s my turn to hoard buns. --- From digital gold to digital silver, my wallet has turned into digital air. --- Just want to ask, how long does this cooling-off period need to last? Is my principal still alive? --- The old captain holds the helm, I hold a photo of my withdrawal card—does it make a difference? --- Capital votes with its feet, I vote with my heels, and we both ended up falling into a pit. --- Should I trust stability or embrace volatility? I choose to believe I can buy the dip, but I keep buying at new lows. --- This is my "experience"—not getting in when making money, but stepping on the gas pedal when losing money.
