Analyst: Bitcoin has significantly outperformed gold and silver over the past 10 years

BlockBeats News, December 29, according to Cointelegraph, crypto analyst Adam Livingston pointed out that since 2015, bitcoin has accumulated a gain of about 27,701%, significantly outperforming silver's approximately 405% and gold's approximately 283% over the same period, calling it a "top asset." Longtime gold advocate and bitcoin critic Peter Schiff countered that only the past four years should be compared, stating that "bitcoin's era is over."

In response, Matt Golliher, co-founder of bitcoin wealth management firm Orange Horizon Wealth, stated that commodity prices tend to converge toward production costs in the long run, and price increases stimulate supply; however, bitcoin has a fixed supply attribute, so the logic is different.

In 2025, precious metal prices surged, with gold reaching a historical high of about $4,533 per ounce and silver approaching $80 per ounce; meanwhile, bitcoin's price remained relatively stagnant. At the same time, the US Dollar Index (DXY) fell nearly 10% during the year, marking one of its worst years in a decade. Arthur Hayes believes that the Federal Reserve's loose monetary policy and a weakening dollar will be long-term positives for scarce assets, including gold, silver, and bitcoin.
