Some observers have noted the differing performances of bitcoin and gold as a measurement of the two assets’ respective maturities. Gold, traditionally seen as a risk-off asset, gained 0.8% in the aftermath of Iran’s attack on Israel while BTC lost 4%, despite often being referred to as a form of digital gold. “Gold is a much more mature asset, with a 5,000 year history as a store of value, so there’s not much room left for incremental network effects,” Presto Research said. “BTC [has] only a 15-year history. This means it’s in the early stages of mainstream adoption, and its narrative is still poorly understood.” At the time of writing, gold is 0.3% lower in the last 24 hours at $2,652.56 per ounce.
