Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) has outperformed gold and silver by several orders of magnitude since 2015, racking up a 27,701% gain, compared to silver\u2019s 405% gain and gold\u2019s 283% appreciation during the same period, according to author and analyst Adam Livingston.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEven ignoring the first six years of Bitcoin’s existence, for the crybabies who whine about the timeframe comparison, gold and silver drastically underperform the apex asset,\u201d Livingston said in an X post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gold advocate Peter Schiff, one of Bitcoin\u2019s harshest critics<\/a>, chimed in, telling Livingston that he should compare these assets over the last four years instead of 10. \u201cTimes have changed. Bitcoin’s time has passed,\u201d Schiff said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matt Golliher, the co-founder of the Bitcoin wealth management company Orange Horizon Wealth, responded that commodity prices tend to \u201cconverge\u201d toward production costs over the long term. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the price increases, production of it increases, inflating the supply faster and bringing the price back down. Unless, of course, it has a fixed supply,\u201d Golliher said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are now sources of gold and silver that were not profitable to bring to market a year ago that are now quite profitable at current prices,\u201d he added<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The debate between precious metals advocates and Bitcoiners<\/a> over which asset is a better long-term store of value continues to flare up, as precious metals experience a historic surge in prices<\/a>, while BTC stalls and the US dollar declines by 10% against major fiat currencies.<\/p>\n

The US dollar is ending 2025 on a bad note, and Fed easing policy will drive scarce assets higher <\/h2>\n

The US dollar is on track for its worst year in a decade, according<\/a> to media host Ethan Ralph, who cited a near 10% drop in the US Dollar Index (DXY) in 2025.<\/p>\n

The DXY tracks the strength of the dollar relative to a basket of major fiat currencies, including the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, the Canadian dollar, Swedish krona and the Swiss franc.<\/p>\n
