In contrast to Bitcoin's weak performance, gold (XAUUSD) has continued its record-breaking rally and is now approaching $3,800 per ounce. Despite this divergence, some market voices maintain that Bitcoin will ultimately outperform gold.
Among them, Michael Saylor, founder of the leading corporate Bitcoin holder MicroStrategy (MSTR), stated in a CNBC interview today: "Bitcoin is a technological version of gold — digital gold. In my view, it will grow to be ten times the size of gold." Former U.S. President Donald Trump also firmly expressed that "Bitcoin will one day surpass gold."
