Are gold and bitcoin similar investments?
“So I looked at, since bitcoin’s existence, every time the S&P 500 has fallen 5% or more, how did bitcoin behave? How did gold behave? Bitcoin fell on average 5% when the S&P fell 5%. And it fell 70% of those episodes,” says CFR expert Rebecca Patterson. “Gold prices on average were up. And they rose on average, over those instances, about two-thirds of the time. So not one for one. But in terms of how these assets perform in a portfolio and why you buy them, I think they’re very different.”
