Increasing dominance of gold

[passwordnow]

We've seen enough I think and that's why it's already going there if others still don't consider it as a safe haven. While geopolitics tension is there, people will think that they cannot lift their golds if ever they're part of the tension. So, looking for an alternative might lead them to look for Bitcoin. It only takes them their seed phrase to go with them if they're going to go somewhere else while bringing the wealth they have. They're not subject to anything at all although the volatility it has got is what they need to accept.

Have you checked the market today? Gold and silver continue to rise, while Bitcoin continues to fall below $87k. I would not be surprised if Bitcoin fall below 7x if geopolitical tension continues.

Convenience alone is not enough for people to trust Bitcoin and consider it a safe haven for their assets. It needs to prove that it can survive and maintain its value in the face of major crises, wars, and economic downturns. And all of this takes time.

Bitcoin has the potential to be a safe haven, but not now or in the near future.

I know that gold and silver are up but what I am telling is that when the market isn't good. You're going to bring them up whenever you wanna go somewhere else or you want to flee from the area if ever that's part of the geopolitics. Although that's unlikely to happen to every investor who holds gold and silver. As bitcoin goes down, the chances of these investors to have more in their stash is by selling in profit with their gold and silver investments and have it converted into Bitcoin. But that's for them to decide and there is no debate that all of these three assets are good investments and safe havens.

They're both very profitable asset, although gold just reached a new ATH but I'll still prefer Bitcoin over gold, it offers better risk management than gold in term of security and giving better return of investment on the long run, also, not everyone can afford buying gold but Bitcoin can be owned by both the rich and poor and can be easily carried about in a device so far it's stored in a good wallet and  your keys stored safely. Bitcoin can't be faked but it would be sometimes difficult to detect the authenticity of gold without a gold detector or purity tester machine.

Fake gold does exist, but buying real gold isn't as difficult or complicated as you describe. If you want to buy gold, you need to find reputable store that have business licenses recognized by the government. Do not be tempted to buy gold from the black market or unregulated sources just because it is cheap. You do not need to use a detector or purity meter

To put it bluntly, Bitcoin is the better option, and the reason is simply because it has the potential to generate higher returns than gold, nothing more

That's true. Gold's first pit stop is at $5,400, as it's already high. Whether we're here next week or this Saturday, we'll see a shift to BTC. I think BTC needs to quickly reach $100,000 within the next month and strangely BTC also rose along with gold, just look at the market now.

I strongly agreed with your opinion about tangible assets like gold and silver if we observe market weekly or in unstable conditions then again silver and gold seems to naturally stand. When extreme situations creating in world then also these assets offer financial security. According to defensive way metals retain long term value. On the other hand in digital currencies when a currency like Bitcoins go to declined then its not have equal value,  for some investors it may give advantage through recollecting method and its depends on investor's mindset and its done on risk tolerance. So the learning point is that every asset has its own role if metals provide stability then Bitcoins provides potential growth.

[SquallLeonhart]

Demand for gold has increased when the trust for other things lowered. Fiat was already not the preferred place to invest, not many people did that and I understand the situation, however you also have to realize that it is not doing good for stocks neither. While stock market does grow, people are not increasing their stock investments like the old days because they do not trust most of the companies.

The wall streets of the world will keep on doing that, but retail regular people prefer gold a lot more, even bitcoin thankfully. Why? Because companies are known to crash, it happened in 2008 and it happened in 2020 and both were big crisis and that is why people decided to acquire more gold than before in history.

I was watching a video where they told that now most countries are depositing gold as reserves instead of buying US dollar deposits. Does this mean that price of gold will be uncontrollable in coming years ? Is it going to affect the buying behavior related to gold for common people ?

There's now news coming in that more money is being pulled out of Bitcoin ETFs than is being put in, and it's all due to the current uncertain times. Trump, the yen, the Fed, tariffs... all of this is luring investors into metals like gold, silver, and the like. 80 percent of the ETFs are whales, and they're also pulling out now because of FOMO. They want to hold on to profits. And while there were corrections in metals yesterday, the situation is still tense, which is why metals will still rise due to the market's influx. This is starting to look like panic, and we'll see how things play out.

Keeping gold as a reserve is not new, people create reserves on gold to fulfill unwanted desires. Gold is endless, it is constantly being created, so I think it is impossible for the price of gold to skyrocket, but at present, people are expressing some demand for the US dollar. People have chosen Bitcoin to put their fiat currency to good use, because the value of fiat currency is gradually decreasing, so Bitcoin plays the best role in putting their fiat money to good use. People are not paying much attention to gold, they are paying attention to Bitcoin.

[Jateng]

It's diversification, you don't have to be only dependant on one currency alone so they buy gold.

In the nearest future gold will not be uncontrollable, yes upward pressure will increase but it will still be controlled, liquidity will still be absorbed, there will still be pull backs and natural market flow, but the upward aggression will be increased

Instead of keep money people can trust the gold market and no rely on any specific currency.You know how important gold is in today era.Some people buy it and get profit while others sell it and get profit.The gold rate is still very high and may be even higher. People also get a way to invest according to the increasing price of gold because the price of gold is not fixed it keeps increasing and decreasing due to which when it is cheap people buy it and sell it at a higher price. In other words they cannot control the increasing price of gold but can benefit from it.

Well, there are usually always shifts like that. But there are times when gold continues to hold its gains for some time. Moreover, I see that gold is still in a strong bullish position at the moment. Healthy corrections always occur, but after that, the price of gold still shows potential for higher increases. Meanwhile, bitcoin currently has an unclear direction, meaning the current price is uncertain. Will it continue to decline or will it try to rise again and attempt to reach the 100k USD level once more? However, I personally think that bitcoin could even experience a stronger decline if it fails at the current level. Meanwhile, gold still has the potential to rise because many currencies are weakening at the moment, geopolitical tensions are heating up, and other global news has played a significant role in gold's strong movement recently.

When there will be fear in the market, people will Invest in Gold as reserve because gold is powerful commodity all over the World And if there are chances of inflation then you should invest your money in commodity which will reserve your worth of money because currency always decrease it's value And most of the investors don't trust on that because they always saw when government printed money for their profit and people are becoming poor who sace their money for the future and think that it will reserve its price. Silver is best and when saw high pump at the start of the year because millions of people Invested in that And trump is trying to attack on many countries who have oil resources.

Gold investment by any nation as reserve is already a good vision by the leaders of those nation just as it's in Bitcoin any nation that adopt Bitcoin and invested is futuristic conscious, looking at today gold market and it's price it's even unwise for a government who think good for it's nation not to consider the direction of wave that will help it's nation just as gold and Bitcoin because fiat will some day reduce it value even now the inflation and devalue of fiat has already created many impact of lossing it's strength to be hold as reserve, looking forward on gold is really a good move by any government.

Indeed, that has always been the basic formula for a country's healthy finances. Now and in this moment, People's direction and views are still dominantly focused on gold due to many factors and geopolitical conditions triggered by several superpowers, but when one of these numbers drops rapidly, the market will resonate back to BTC. I am very confident because most patterns always follow the pattern so as not to go against the mainstream.

You see, most countries do not trust the US dollar very much because inflation can happen at any time and people can lose their money, that is why they focus more on gold. According to my observation, most countries invest in gold and create their reserves, and in the future gold will be the only valuable asset. Currently, we can see that the price of gold is constantly increasing. A few days ago, we saw that the price of gold has increased a lot, which is skyrocketing, so we can definitely assume that the price of gold will go further out of reach in the future. Moreover, along with gold, I think the price of Bitcoin will increase a lot and as its demand increases, the price will increase and people will pay attention to these two things in the future.

The increase in demand for gold is causing its price to increase by leaps and bounds. As a result, it is touching new ATHs in a very short period of time. Last year, the value of the dollar around the world fell by about 10%-11%, which is unprecedented. It has continued in the early months of this year as well. The US dollar is an important influencer of world trade and the decline or increase in the value of the dollar along with the fiat of a country greatly affects the economic picture of that country.

The US President has said that the value of the dollar is on the right track and is doing well, but the value of the dollar has fallen further this week as well. Economist Nela Richardson said - If the value of the dollar continues to depreciate, it will be equivalent to a double-edged sword that will be disastrous for the global economy.

But when will demand for metals cool down and price fall? As you said, the demand for gold is increasing because of the geopolitical instability between major powers that is occurring globally. This means that as long as geopolitical instability persist, it will be difficult for money to shift from metal to speculative assets like bitcoin. So stop expecting that the price of gold will fall and money will soon flow into bitcoin

Invest in Bitcoin with a long term perspective, rather than betting on shortterm expectation based on shifting cash flow

Demand for precious metals will only subside when major risks subside. It's that simple. As long as wars, sanctions, debt issues, and power struggles persist, gold will remain attractive.

This isn't gold vs. Bitcoin. I personally agree with your suggestion, and BTC consistently holds up amid selling pressure, which is a good sign.

Gold dominance as investment tool is quite large currently and one of the main causes is because the prices is very high even we all know since last year gold have been reach to all time high several time even in this day gold still still at range $5500 which the higher price in the history and potentially gold won't stopped at that range and reach more highet price and one thing for sure make gold as investment asset is wise decision because similar to bitcoin saving gold can avoiding inflation because the price always be increases for every year and this also make the citizen in my country starting to believe in gold than fiat and the reason is fiat value will be decreasing following the inflation but gold value will not be affected by inflation

You're right. People did lose trust in Fiat. Particularly, the US Dollar. With President Donald Trump being unpredictable lately, investors got scared and decided to invest in precious metals. Does this mean the USD is bound to collapse? Given that Gold and Silver (especially Silver) have gone up so fast, we would most likely experience such scenario (the fall of the USD) soon. Countries are already accelerating their de-dollarization efforts.

Gold's increasing dominance may be a good sign for long-term holders, but in a way, it's concerning because it tells us the economy is about to get worse. A weaker USD is "music" to the ears of Donald Trump. With a new FED chair bound to take the "reigns" soon, anything's possible. I'd diversify between BTC, Gold, and Silver just in case.

The direction is indeed going there, sir. These 3 items are one of the alternatives that need to be considered at this time.This means that we also indirectly acknowledge the journey of history and financial economics as well as changes up to now culturally and this is what we see now in the form of commodities, precious metals and energy.
