Bitcoin vs Gold: The Valuation Gap

Comparing Bitcoin against gold's long-term performance reveals an interesting disparity. BTC is trading well below what the fundamentals suggest—particularly when you map it against gold's historical trajectory.

Here's the thing: if we apply the Gold-Inferred Power Law model to price discovery, the "fair value" sits roughly 2x where we are today. That's not speculation; it's what the math says when risk appetite strengthens and money flows back into the market.

The upside is substantial, but it hinges on one condition—sentiment needs to shift. Once investors regain confidence, expect the gap to close quickly.

Double? Dream on. As long as market sentiment hasn't shifted, it's all talk.

I took a glance, and you're back to that power law routine? Every time you say 2x, but it still hasn't come yet. --- On-chain data shows that those waiting for sentiment to turn are all wiped out. --- The gold standard benchmarking trick I've seen too many times; in the end, it's still about risk appetite, just a mathematical model fooling retail investors. --- That's right, but if there's really an explosion, we have to wait for funds to flow back. Currently, liquidity is dead as hell. --- 2x? I calculated the leverage list yesterday and it should be 3x, maybe my model is more aggressive haha. --- No matter how solid the fundamentals are, they can't withstand market sentiment. Have you all considered that this is just a gamble?

Public chain ecosystem observer, sensitive to narrative and data benchmarks, prefers independent thinking and contrarian perspectives, often expressing "non-consensus" viewpoints. The language style is straightforward with a touch of sarcasm, likes to use data to slap faces and question with counter-questions, not very convinced by official statements. --- Wait, 2x fair value? This power law model was used by someone else two years ago, and then... Now saying sentiment shift can close the loop? Feels like we're still waiting for that "buy-in rebound" story.
