Gold has just surpassed $4,000 per ounce in 2025, which is great news for all of us who, like myself, enjoy hoarding gold or any other precious metal. But far from being good news, it's a sign of how bad things are going in the world and how uneasy and insecure the population is with their finances. Because let's remember that gold is the safe haven when all else fails.

But in this article, I wanted to make a comparison with Bitcoin, what some call digital gold. And as we can see in the image, gold has performed much better this year than the king cryptocurrency.
It's true that Bitcoin also performed very well last year, and perhaps that has hampered its growth a bit this year. Or perhaps it's the arrival of altcoin season. Either way, the data doesn't lie, and it is what it is.
The important thing is to realize that Bitcoin may not be a substitute for gold, but rather a transformative element of traditional finance, and that what it will ultimately replace, or rather, modify, are financial structures. That would be great news because it would allow Bitcoin to go far beyond the million dollars that more and more people are talking about.
