Bitcoin vs. Gold: Two Experts Clash Over Investment Value
08.09.2024 12:00 2 min. read Alexander Stefanov
The debate between Bitcoin (BTC) and gold as investment assets has reignited with legendary trader Peter Brandt and longtime crypto critic Peter Schiff exchanging views.
Schiff recently criticized Bitcoin ETFs for their relatively modest gains of under 10% since their launch, in contrast to gold’s 24% increase over the same period. He highlighted gold’s established role as a safe-haven asset, particularly during economic volatility.
In response, Brandt urged a longer-term perspective, suggesting that short-term performance should not overshadow the broader trends.
He shared a chart indicating a potential head and shoulders pattern that he believes could favor Bitcoin over gold futures in the long run.
Peter, your comments need to be put into the perspective of a long term chart. The $BTC/GC_F ratio could dip into the high teens, but massive continuation inverted H&S is forming — favoring Bitcoin https://t.co/Gld8cb2RQV pic.twitter.com/rwJgY24b57

Brandt’s analysis suggests that despite Bitcoin’s current volatility, it may outperform gold in the future.
Schiff, however, maintains his stance that gold remains the superior asset. He views the same chart as supporting gold and argues that Bitcoin, which he describes as the “anti-gold,” is a less reliable investment. Schiff believes that the market has misunderstood inflation data, leading to an unjustified decline in gold prices, which he expects to correct as inflation continues.
This exchange underscores the ongoing debate about whether Bitcoin, often called “digital gold,” could eventually rival or surpass traditional gold as a store of value, especially during uncertain economic times. While Brandt sees Bitcoin as a potential long-term winner, Schiff remains confident in gold’s historical stability.

In a dramatic shift from Wall Street’s traditional stance, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has openly acknowledged Bitcoin as a potential competitor to the U.S. dollar.
The U.S. dollar has long been the backbone of global finance, but in the era of digital assets, Bitcoin is emerging as its challenger.
On-chain data has revealed the activation of a long-dormant Bitcoin wallet, untouched for over 11 years, resulting in a jaw-dropping 26,147% profit.
A long-dormant Bitcoin wallet, untouched for over a decade, came back to life this week, according to crypto tracking platform Lookonchain.
Bitcoin’s price action is drawing attention this week as traders closely monitor two critical resistance zones.
Recent data reveals heightened Bitcoin whale activity, signaling potential upward momentum toward the much-anticipated $100K price milestone.
Bitcoin whale transactions surged to their highest levels since April amid a sharp market drop on August 5 and 6, with large holders capitalizing on the price decline.
A Bitcoin whale has made waves by acquiring $200 million worth of BTC, just weeks after offloading over 11,400 coins.
Patience has proven to be a game-changer in crypto trading, as illustrated by a Bitcoin whale from the Satoshi era who turned an early investment into a staggering $180 million.
Bitcoin has recently rebounded above $68,000 after finding solid support at $65,500, coinciding with a surge in whale holdings that have reached an all-time high.
A prominent Bitcoin whale recently increased its holdings by acquiring 750 BTC, even as it faces considerable unrealized losses on its previous investments.
A major Bitcoin investor has placed a high-stakes bet on a short-term price drop, committing hundreds of millions of dollars just as a crucial week of economic reports looms.
A Bitcoin wallet that had been inactive for over a decade has recently been reactivated, attracting attention from the blockchain tracker Whale Alert.
A Bitcoin whale, dormant for over eight years, has recently moved more than $250 million worth of BTC, according to Arkham Intelligence, a blockchain analytics firm.
Since Bitcoin reached a new peak in March, significant holders of the cryptocurrency have been reducing their holdings.
Bitcoin’s price surge isn’t the only metric setting records - whale accumulation is reaching unprecedented levels.
Bitcoin’s bullish undercurrent continues to strengthen as on-chain data and derivatives market behavior reveal aggressive accumulation from long-term holders and whales.
In the latest market slump, major Bitcoin holders, known as whales, have capitalized on the situation to substantially increase their Bitcoin (BTC) reserves.
Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, recently shared on social media platform X that Bitcoin (BTC) is currently in an accumulation phase.
Bitcoin has been making notable strides in the crypto market, drawing significant attention due to its impressive performance.
