#数字资产市场动态 $BTC still called "Digital Gold"? Recent data is a bit eye-opening.



Looking at the numbers makes it clear:

• At the beginning of the year, 1 Bitcoin could exchange for 38 ounces of gold; now it can only exchange for 19 ounces—purchasing power has been halved.

• Comparing to silver, the situation is even more dramatic. From May to now, the exchange rate has shrunk by over 70%.

In just a few months, Bitcoin has slipped from the status of "Digital Gold" to "Digital Silver." This tug-of-war between old and new assets clearly favors the latter.

Why is this happening? It actually reflects a deeper change:

🔍 Traditional safe-haven assets are recovering. Central banks are quietly accumulating gold, and silver prices are rising due to industrial demand. These "old assets" that have weathered countless storms are regaining trust.

💨 The crypto market is entering a correction phase. Funds are reallocating, the previous frenzy has cooled down, and this emerging sector needs to calm down and reassess itself.

This is not just about price fluctuations; behind it is a shift in market sentiment—when traditional stability and digital future prospects are weighed against each other, capital is starting to vote with its feet.

There are no assets that only go up; there are always opportunities for change. When the value relationship between "old aristocrats" and "new stars" is broken and rewritten, how will you choose?

Will you stick to the enduring stability, or gamble on opportunities amid future volatility?

Half the purchasing power in six months, and this is called digital gold? Laughable, it's high time to wake up.

Coming to bash BTC again? Cutting the purchasing power in half is just that—cut in half. Is old gold really that stable? I don't believe your nonsense.

Speaking of which, that old thing, gold, is indeed risk-resistant, but I still think Bitcoin's long-term logic isn't broken, it's just been messed up by short-term capital. --- Honestly, hearing that purchasing power has halved sounds scary, but looking at it from another angle, it's just market rotation. --- As for the recovery of traditional assets... truly visionary investors should hold both, insisting on choosing just one is purely self-inflicted hardship. --- The failure of digital gold is a normal operation; I predicted this day would come long ago. Blame it on too many people following the hype. --- While the central bank is stockpiling gold, on-chain data isn't actually that bad. It feels like the market is still in a betting phase, no one should be too absolute. --- Capital voting with their feet is a valid point, but real opportunities often appear when no one is optimistic. I'm just watching the show now. --- From gold to silver... sounds a bit bleak, but value is relative; the key is whether you can hold on to the bottom.

Hmm... half the purchasing power? That number is indeed sobering, but I still think comparing them is meaningless. Bitcoin and gold are fundamentally different things. People who buy gold and those who hoard coins are not thinking about the same thing.

Cut in half... Watching Bitcoin's exchange rate plummet straight down, I really didn't expect it. The consensus we once had is now just a joke.

Speaking of which, gold hasn't seen much increase in recent years, and the amount the central bank has stockpiled is really not enough to compare.

Well... cutting the purchasing power in half is indeed harsh, but saying BTC is done for is too early. This is just the cycle, brother.

honestly... the 38oz to 19oz thing is technically just market repricing, not btc losing its "gold" narrative. but yeah, audit findings suggest traditional commodities got institutional capital flowing back in. interesting edge case tho—when risk appetite collapses, does digital store-of-value even matter? let's dissect this properly before buying the dip.

Wow, the purchasing power has halved? That's really heartbreaking, I feel like I can't keep up anymore.
