You Won’t Believe What Happens to Bitcoin if Gold Hits $5,000! (Champagne Optional)

by

Key takeaways:

  • Bitcoin has historically left gold in the dust, returning six times as much—like comparing a rocketship to your grandmother’s sensible sedan.

  • If gold glitters its way to $5,000, Bitcoin’s gains could be enough to make even the most stoic aristocrat loosen their cravat.

  • A feeble US dollar and rising liquidity leave both assets looking as tempting as a gin and tonic at teatime.

It appears a fever has gripped the hard-asset crowd—everyone from Yardeni Research’s Ed Yardeni to John Paulson (yes, that John Paulson, darling)—as they toast gold’s spirited promenade toward $5,000 per ounce.

But what of Bitcoin, that “digital gold” the young people whisper about at cocktail parties—what fate awaits it if real gold sashays even higher?

If there’s a stage, Bitcoin refuses to leave it to gold. Cast your mind back: between March 2020 and March 2022, the Federal Reserve was encouraging money printing with the gleeful abandon of an heiress at a Harrods sale. Bitcoin pirouetted upwards by 1,110% (yes, you read that right), while gold managed a modest 35.5%. Bless it.

In 2022–2023, as money supply swelled, gold took a dignified 25% stroll upwards. Bitcoin, meanwhile, leapt by 150%—nearly six times more, as if trying to impress its crush at the ball.

If gold were to dance from $3,265 to $5,000—a 50% gain—Bitcoin, true to form, might steal the spotlight with a 300% climb, teasing $285,000 per coin. Champagne corks, meet ceiling.

Remarkably, this even aligns with analyst apsk32’s projection, using a power law model that sounds very clever at dinner parties and probably is.

Frank Holmes of US Global Investors sees gold galloping toward $6,000, spurred on by Trump, tariffs, and a belief that bullion has fallen behind the ever-expanding M2 money supply (that’s economist-speak for “oodles of cash”).

He thinks a weakened dollar might roll over and play dead—dropping by 25%—making gold and Bitcoin even more alluring to central banks and investors who’ve spent years underweight in everything glittery.

Holmes predicts Bitcoin could shoot past its $97,000 resistance, climbing to $120,000–$150,000 in the near future and even haughtily ascending to $250,000 once adoption hits high society.

BTC at $155K? If Gold Sets the Tempo, Bitcoin’s Bound to Tango 💃

By late April, gold had waltzed to a record $3,500 (up 33%), then settled at $3,237. Bitcoin? Barely a twirl, up 0.82%—not exactly the life of the party.

Analysts—like the mysteriously named Cryptollica—see Bitcoin as a loyal follower: once gold leads, Bitcoin’s likely to spin after it, possibly hitting $155,000 if it escapes its current malaise.

And although Bitcoin’s had a 30% dip from its recent high (around $110,000), that’s child’s play compared to its usual theatrics. Its resilience deserves at least a polite round of applause, and if gold glitters, Bitcoin might just put on a command performance.
