Gold went well, Bitcoin MUCH better

Gold investors are happy these days, today we reached another ATH above $3200. That means Gold price has tripled within the last decade, roughly +200%. A good return, no doubt.

At the same time Bitcoin has done more than a 200x (!) within those ten years. That’s much much better and shows perfectly the idea of opportunity costs:
While buying Bitcoin back in 2015 was an opportunity, investing in Gold instead cost you this opportunity.

And while past performance doesn‘t force anything on the future, I would bet on Bitcoin instead of Gold also for the coming decade. And you?
