COINOTAG News, per Cointelegraph, Bitcoin has posted a cumulative gain of about 27,701% since 2015, markedly exceeding silver (+≈405%) and gold (+≈283%), reinforcing its standing as a leading cryptocurrency asset.
Peter Schiff, a long-time gold advocate and Bitcoin skeptic, contends that only the most recent four-year period should be evaluated, remarking that “Bitcoin’s time has passed.”
Matt Golliher, co-founder of Orange Horizon Wealth, observes that commodity prices tend to converge toward their production costs over the long run, with price gains encouraging supply; by contrast, Bitcoin features a fixed supply, creating a distinct dynamic.
In 2025, gold rose toward a fresh high near $4,533 per ounce and silver approached $80, while Bitcoin traded in a narrower range. The DXY declined by roughly 10% for the year, a backdrop that Arthur Hayes says could support scarce assets, including gold, silver, and Bitcoin.
