• Market Strength: Bitcoin’s market cap has surged past $2T, with prices reaching $110K, reflecting strong institutional adoption and investor confidence.

• Official Recognition: The US Treasury now refers to Bitcoin as "digital gold", sparking discussions about a potential US Bitcoin strategic reserve.

• Supply: Like gold, Bitcoin has a fixed supply (21M coins) and decentralization, but its digital nature and price volatility set it apart.

• Volatility: Bitcoin’s price swings (driven by speculation and whale activity) make it far less stable than gold, which remains a proven safe haven during economic turmoil.

• Investor Shift: Some are swapping gold for Bitcoin in pursuit of higher returns, though gold still dominates as the traditional hedge asset.

• Regulatory Risks: Trump’s proposed tariffs and evolving crypto regulations could impact Bitcoin’s price and adoption.

• Skeptics vs Advocates: Critics like Peter Schiff argue Bitcoin’s volatility and lack of intrinsic value disqualify it as "Gold 2.0", while proponents highlight its growing institutional acceptance.

• Bottom Line: Bitcoin is gaining ground as a store of value, but its price volatility and regulatory uncertainty mean it hasn’t yet dethroned gold.
