#数字货币市场洞察 I noticed an interesting phenomenon when checking the market this morning—the BTC-to-gold exchange rate has already dropped to a support level. Remember back in January, it took 40 ounces of gold to exchange for 1 Bitcoin. Now? It's shrunk to 21 ounces. The last time we saw this level, gold prices were hovering around $2,000-$2,500.
Why compare these two? Because essentially, they're both considered safe-haven assets. Gold's issue is straightforward—annual mining output is about 1-2%, so much for scarcity; it just keeps inflating steadily. Bitcoin is different—the total supply of 21 million is hardcoded, open and transparent on-chain, and no one can change it.
But what's interesting is that the cyclical logic of these two assets is completely different. Gold follows the economic cycle and fluctuates frequently. Bitcoin? It's tied to a halving cycle, with a major round every four years, and its long-term upward trend is very steady.
Looking at a longer time frame, both assets are actually in an upward channel. The opportunity lies here—grasp the rhythm of the cycles, and buying the dips is the right way to go.

21 ounces for one BTC... That number is a bit crazy. Is gold becoming more and more worthless, or is Bitcoin taking off?

21 ounces for 1 BTC, this data is worth saving. Gold increases its production by 1-2% every year, which basically means it's depreciating. The hard-coded 21 million for Bitcoin is true scarcity.
Buying the dip this time is definitely the right move. If you grasp the cycle and timing well, it's basically a money printer.

21 ounces for 1 BTC? That number is really getting hard to believe. Gold is really having a hard time keeping up.

21 ounces for one Bitcoin? Damn, gold really is depreciating slowly. Things that are hardcoded are just different.

21 ounces for 1 btc, that's a pretty extreme number. Is gold really that fragile?
btc is indeed hardcoded, but the cycle still depends on that halving event. Buying the dip now... is that for real?
I never thought about gold inflating 1-2% per year. In comparison, btc definitely wins. No wonder institutions are starting to accumulate coins.
A 4-year cycle sounds nice, but don't fully believe in that "upward channel" talk. Anyone who's been stuck holding the bag knows better.

Damn, this change in proportions—gold is really taking a beating.
Bitcoin's hard cap of 21 million is truly something special, while gold keeps getting mined every year... the gap is only going to widen over time.
Wait, does this mean that hoarding Bitcoin now is better than stacking gold bars?
Has the support level been broken? Feels like it's time to get in.

21 ounces for one Bitcoin? That number looks satisfying, means it's time to get in.
Gold is mined every year, but there are only 21 million Bitcoins. In the long run, this game is a sure win.
I buy into the halving cycle logic, it's just a matter of who can hold on until the next wave.
Setting up now is definitely appealing, but only if you have spare cash.
Gold's production is a joke compared to BTC's deflation.
This wave of pricing Bitcoin against gold does make sense, though the cycle timing is on a whole different level.
A rebound at the support level is the signal, just wait for it.
History will repeat itself. The question is, do you dare to go all in?
Is the story from when gold was $2,000–$2,500 happening all over again?
Scarcity coded into the protocol is bound to win in the end.

21 ounces for 1 Bitcoin? That's gold talking—Bitcoin should have appreciated long ago.
