Does the "digital gold" halo of Bitcoin still exist? The latest market data is ringing alarm bells for holders:

📉 One Bitcoin can now be exchanged for about 19 ounces of gold, down from 38 ounces at the beginning of the year—cut in half directly.
📉 More painful when compared to silver: since May, purchasing power has shrunk by nearly 70%.

The once-hyped "digital gold" is now jokingly called "digital silver" by some.

Compared to the lows of 2022 (1 BTC ≈ 9 ounces of gold), the current price looks decent, but the decline is definitely accelerating. This actually reflects an interesting underlying story—a quiet contest between the "traditional safe-haven assets" and the "emerging sectors":

🛡️ On one side is the strong recovery of gold and silver. With the global economic outlook uncertain, safe-haven assets are regaining attention. Central banks worldwide are quietly increasing gold holdings, and industrial demand is pushing up silver prices. These ancient assets are like experienced old captains, knowing how to stay stable amid turbulence.

⚡ On the other side is the "pause button" in the crypto market. After a series of wild swings, Bitcoin is now in a state of reflection. Funds are reassessing, and enthusiasm is cooling down. It’s like a talented athlete needing to adjust its rhythm to prove its long-term value.

This is not a zero-sum game of either/or. This exchange rate is more like a balance scale, swinging between "stability" and "innovation." It actually tells a simple truth: no asset can soar forever, only the market is constantly re-pricing.

As the relative value of traditional symbols of wealth and future assets is re-measured—would you now lean towards trusting the stability gained through experience, or the infinitely promising but volatile realm?

💭 The market is looking for the next fulcrum. What do you believe in right now?
