In a risk-averse market, gold embodies consensus, while Bitcoin represents confidence.

This is not to say that there is a problem with the two types of assets themselves, but rather that the popularity has not yet refocused here. Gold has gone through thousands of years, and the market's perception of it has formed a kind of collective default; while Bitcoin needs continuous confidence support from market participants.

From this perspective, asset quality is not the determining factor; the key is to see where the market psychology lies. When retail investors and institutions refocus their attention, confidence will follow, and the market trend will naturally reflect that. This psychological cycle is particularly evident in the crypto market — prices not only follow the fundamentals but also the rhythm of people's sentiments.

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of popularity. Gold has been winning passively for thousands of years, while we Bitcoin still have to slowly build up our heat.

You're right, it's all about human emotions. Gold earns money just by lying there, while Bitcoin needs us to keep fighting for it. When will retail investors turn back? How long will this psychological cycle last? Actually, it just depends on who can't hold back first, haha. Confidence is something that can disappear in an instant and reappear just as quickly. Wait, when will the institutions start dumping again?

To put it simply, it's a popularity issue; gold wins just by lying there.

To be honest, it's just a psychological game; gold has been lying there winning for too long. Once popularity flows back, it will be completely different; now we just wait for the wind to change. Don't just look at the fundamentals; this market is all about the dance of people's hearts. Confidence is worth much more than technicals. The moment the retail investors awaken is the true reversal. Thousands of years of belief in gold can't compete with the imagination of Bitcoin. Wait, doesn't this mean that whoever has more fans wins? When people's hearts shift, the charts will speak. It is indeed the era of gold right now, but the wheel will always turn back.
