In 2026, gold remains worth paying attention to. Among traditional assets, gold's fundamentals are sufficiently robust—even after experiencing extreme market shocks, it has strong support. Simply put, gold has been recognized as a store of value by all of humanity for thousands of years, but where is the bottom for Bitcoin? No one can say for sure.
Suppose gold and Bitcoin both halve in value at the same time, which one would you buy at the bottom? This is a question worth pondering. The reason gold is special lies in its unique scarcity and non-renewability—this endows it with natural monetary attributes. Throughout human history, no other asset has been able to replace this position.
The current environment is quite unique: the US dollar credit system is under pressure, and a new global order has yet to form. During this vacuum period, gold's appeal to global capital cannot be underestimated—it is the purest safe-haven asset.
Interestingly, many traders have recently been involved in precious metal contracts. For ordinary investors, this is indeed a good opportunity to get involved—compared to domestic trading, the leverage options are more flexible. The trading approach is also quite clear: only go long, and decisively enter on any pullback. The market generally expects gold to break through $5,000 and even reach $8,000. Whether this expectation will be realized, time will tell.

Gold at $5,000? Wake up, first see how the US bonds are doing.

I choose it for gold bottoming out; Bitcoin is still too虚 (vague/uncertain).

Laughing to death, it's "gold at $5000," I've been hearing this for three years, why hasn't it arrived yet?
Don't play this game. I don't know where Bitcoin's bottom is, and I can't see the gold bottom either. Anyway, I've almost worn out my underwear trying to catch the bottom.
Leverage long positions sound clear, but when you lose, it's very clear too. All the leek farmers, get ready.
Gold hasn't appreciated much in thousands of years, while Bitcoin has increased hundreds of times in ten years. No matter how you count, it's different, right?
It's called a safe haven in a nice way, but actually, it's the last refuge for people without money. I understand.

Gold is insurance, Bitcoin is gambling. Why make it so complicated?

lmao "pure hedge asset" that's been range-bound for months. the math doesn't check out—if you actually ran the numbers on gold futures basis spreads vs btc funding rates, you'd see where real alpha is hiding. gold's 60-40 vol profile is mathematically inferior for extracting value. just saying, the narrative's comfortable but the calldata's inefficient 🤷

Gold will never go to zero, but what about BTC... That's the difference.

Gold is indeed stable, but this round of contract leverage play is still a bit risky.
