Gold vs Bitcoin: Key Differences
Bitcoin is far more volatile than gold — capable of 10–20% daily swings. Gold typically moves 1–2% per day. This makes bitcoin a higher-risk, higher-reward alternative.
Bitcoin is sometimes called "digital gold" with a hard cap of 21 million coins. Gold has 5,000 years of history as a store of value; Bitcoin has less than 20.
Bitcoin and gold sometimes move in the same direction (both benefit from inflation fear) but also diverge. Bitcoin is more correlated with risk assets like tech stocks.
