Analyst: Bitcoin Outpaced Gold and Silver by a Huge Margin Over the Past 10 Years

BlockBeats News, December 29th, according to Cointelegraph, crypto analyst Adam Livingston pointed out that since 2015, Bitcoin has seen a cumulative increase of about 27,701%, significantly outperforming silver by about 405% and gold by about 283% during the same period, calling it a "top asset." Gold long-time advocate and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff countered that only the performance of the last 4 years should be compared, stating that "Bitcoin's time has passed."

In response, Matt Golliher, co-founder of Bitcoin wealth management company Orange Horizon Wealth, stated that commodity prices tend to converge to production costs in the long term, with price increases stimulating supply growth; whereas Bitcoin has a fixed supply attribute, making its logic different.

In 2025, precious metal prices saw a sharp rise, with gold reaching a historical high of about $4,533 per ounce and silver approaching $80 per ounce; however, Bitcoin's trend remained relatively stagnant. At the same time, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has dropped nearly 10% during the year, marking one of the worst annual performances in a decade. Arthur Hayes believes that the Fed's loose policy and the weakening dollar will be a long-term positive for scarce assets (including gold, silver, and Bitcoin).
