Recently, the precious metals market has been extremely hot. On December 24th, gold surged directly to 4526, and silver also reached 72.7, both hitting new all-time highs.

According to industry analysis, the main drivers of this rally come from several aspects—confidence in the traditional financial system is loosening, inflation expectations are still under pressure, and international situations are somewhat unstable. These factors combined are pushing funds toward safe-haven assets.

Interestingly, at this time, BTC seems a bit awkward. After all, many people once regarded Bitcoin as digital gold and a safe-haven tool. But now, as precious metals are rising, BTC hasn't shown as strong a momentum, which somewhat reflects a changing market perception of the safe-haven properties of cryptocurrencies.

Gold and silver are taking off, but BTC surprisingly can't keep up... This is quite awkward. Is the image of digital gold starting to collapse? Safe-haven assets are moving towards traditional finance, and crypto still has to wait. This round of market movement has really taught BTC a lesson. When a traditional financial crisis occurs, gold profits, but BTC doesn't. So the term digital gold needs to be reconsidered. With international situations in chaos, funds are actually pulling away from crypto. Has BTC's safe-haven attribute been broken? Feels like silver's rally was even stronger.

Gold and silver hit new highs, but BTC is underperforming? Where's the so-called digital gold? Now it's awkward.

Gold and silver hit new highs, but BTC can't rally... This is really awkward. --- The persona of digital gold has suddenly collapsed; the real crisis still requires real assets. --- By the way, does this wave of risk-averse capital flow indicate that everyone's confidence in crypto is indeed loosening? --- Gold and silver have surged like this, but Bitcoin hasn't kept up. The problem might be that we've misjudged its positioning. --- Now I finally understand that people who say BTC is a safe haven are really overthinking it. --- As confidence in the financial system wavers, funds are instead flowing into traditional precious metals... This is the true logic of safe-haven assets. --- Gold at 4526, silver at 72.7, why does it feel like the story of Bitcoin as a safe haven is becoming harder to tell?

Gold and silver are both hitting new highs, but BTC is still dragging its feet, which is quite awkward. Digital gold? Haha, it now seems like a joke. Change in risk-hedging perception? Basically, everyone is selling coins to buy gold. Traditional finance is having problems, and only then do people realize metals preserve value. This move is truly out of helplessness. With such a chaotic international situation, I’d rather buy real gold and silver than trust virtual ones.

Gold and silver hit new highs, but BTC didn't keep up, this is quite awkward. The true safe-haven assets still rely on traditional finance. The term "digital gold" might need to be reconsidered.

Gold and silver's recent surge is undeniable, but BTC is indeed dragging behind. The persona of digital gold is about to collapse. --- The rotation of safe-haven assets has begun, and the confidence crisis in traditional finance is becoming more and more apparent. --- Honestly, those who still see BTC as a safe-haven tool are a bit naive. --- Gold and silver are rising so fiercely, but it actually exposes the fragility of the safe-haven attribute in the crypto world. Sad. --- The financial system is shaking, but ordinary people still trust gold and silver more, right? --- Hitting new all-time highs so many times, yet BTC just can't keep up. Isn't that awkward? --- Whenever the international situation becomes unstable, capital still prefers precious metals. The crypto circle really overestimates itself. --- The ranking of safe-haven assets has been reshuffled. The "digital gold" attribute of BTC is increasingly just a marketing gimmick. --- Even with such high inflation pressure, it can't save cryptocurrencies; instead, gold and silver are benefiting big time. --- When confidence in the financial system wavers, traditional safe-haven assets still stand strong. What does this tell us?
