A fresh perspective emerged in the ongoing debate between Bitcoin (BTC) and gold as renowned trader Peter Brandt presented his analysis. On the X app, Brandt displayed a chart demonstrating Bitcoin‘s superiority over gold in terms of price performance over the past year.
Bitcoin versus gold rivalry
Gold has been an essential protective asset against inflation for many centuries, but its role as a value preservation tool is now being debated due to the arrival of Bitcoin.
Gold tends to grow slowly, but Bitcoin has shown exceptional growth with significantly larger increases than gold over the same time period. The Bitcoin-to-Gold Ratio, representing the amount of gold needed to purchase one Bitcoin, has been steadily climbing for the past year.
According to some people, Bitcoin is no longer relevant and Gold is taking over. However, this perspective may depend on the timeframe being considered. At present, Gold’s one-year trend doesn’t look favorable, and it hasn’t since Bitcoin was introduced. (Paraphrased from Peter Schiff’s tweet)

At the point when Peter Brandt made his post, the price of gold was at approximately $29.91, having risen from around $20 at the beginning of the year. This indicates that a greater amount of gold is now required to purchase an equal value of Bitcoin. Using this metric, Brandt posed a questionably rhetorical query: could it be that Bitcoin has met its demise and gold reigns supreme, as some gold advocates contend?
New Bitcoin charm
Gold’s importance should not be underestimated, but Bitcoin offers unique technological and financial benefits that make it an attractive investment option. In contrast to gold, which has an infinite supply, Bitcoin has a capped maximum supply of only 21 million units.
During gold mining, there are no limitations in place, but when it comes to Bitcoin, a preset release occurs every day as we approach the scheduled halving event in late January.
The fictitious deflationary traits and the large sums of money pouring into Bitcoin ETFs at spot prices are working together to push the cost of this asset to unprecedented heights.
Currently, Bitcoin is valued at $70,040, representing a 1.33% decrease over the past day. In contrast, Gold is now worth $2,354.16, marking a 0.7% drop during the same time frame.
