Precious Metals 'Drastically' Underperform BTC Since 2015: Analyst
Bitcoin has vastly outperformed gold and silver since 2015, showing a 27,701% gain versus their much smaller returns.Summary
Analyst Adam Livingston highlighted that since 2015, Bitcoin (BTC) has achieved a 27,701% gain, drastically outperforming silver's 405% and gold's 283% appreciation. Livingston dismissed critics who suggested shorter timeframes, asserting that precious metals significantly underperform Bitcoin even when excluding its earliest years. In response, gold advocate Peter Schiff suggested comparing performance over the last four years, claiming Bitcoin's time has passed. Matt Golliher of Orange Horizon Wealth countered that commodities like gold and silver tend to revert toward production costs as increased profitability drives higher supply, unlike assets with fixed supplies like Bitcoin. This ongoing debate occurs as precious metals see price surges while BTC stalls, coinciding with a nearly 10% decline in the US Dollar Index (DXY) in 2025, which analysts believe, alongside Fed easing, will positively impact scarce assets.
