🥇$BTC now buys about 18 ounces of gold — the highest since January
Facts:
• As of September 7: BTC ~$79,000, gold ~$4,400/ounce → ratio ~18
• The week’s peak was 18.17 (September 4) — now there’s a slight correction, but the trend is alive
• In January, BTC was in a “deep bearish market versus gold” (−55% from the peak) — now it’s turning around
• WisdomTree was still saying back in March that BTC was undervalued by 26% relative to gold
• Context: inflows into ETFs and dollar weakness are pushing “digital gold” forward
🧠 My thought: when 1 BTC buys 18 ounces of gold, it’s not just a nice number. It’s a signal that institutions are shifting from a “safe haven” to a “digital haven.” Gold has been a hedge against chaos for centuries; Bitcoin is a hedge against the printing press. Now the market is saying: the printing press is scarier than chaos. But there’s a catch: gold doesn’t drop 50% in a week. Bitcoin does. The choice between them is a choice between calm and asymmetry.
⚠️ Ratio ~18 is the max since January, but not the historical peak (in 2024 it was higher than 20). That means there’s still room to grow, but no one has canceled a pullback to the average either.
❓ What do you hold in your portfolio: gold, Bitcoin, or both?👇
