Analysis: Surge in Precious Metals Shakes Bitcoin Investors' Confidence, Industry Experts Urge Timely Shift to Gold

According to TechFlow, on December 28, as reported by Yahoo Finance, gold and silver once again broke historical records this week, demonstrating the strong performance of precious metals. However, this has added insult to injury for cryptocurrency investors. Bitcoin, once regarded as "digital gold," has fallen by 6.25% this year after reaching a record high, while Ethereum has dropped by 12%. The overall sentiment in the cryptocurrency market is extremely depressed, even dragging down the stock prices of publicly listed crypto asset management companies.

Louis Navellier, founder of the investment advisory firm Navellier Associates, pointed out that given gold prices have risen nearly 70% by 2025, while most cryptocurrencies continue to decline, it is time for cryptocurrency investors to turn to gold. He emphasized that gold has advantages such as central bank purchases, lower volatility, and improved liquidity. Meanwhile, well-known investor Peter Schiff posted on the X platform that if Bitcoin does not rise when tech stocks go up, nor when gold and silver rise, then it may never rise.
