Looking at the performance of various assets in 2025, it's quite interesting.



Gold is far ahead, with a direct +64%, emerging markets follow closely with +33%, and international developed markets also saw an increase of +32%. In technology, the Nasdaq 100 index gained +21%, while the S&P 500 was up +18%. Small-cap stocks performed relatively average, with only +13%.

On the bond side, things are more stable—US bond funds +7%, short-term government bonds +5%, long-term government bonds +4%. Commodities rose by 6%, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) only increased by 3%.

The most heartbreaking is Bitcoin, which actually declined by 6% among these assets. The performance of crypto assets compared to traditional finance indeed warrants some reflection.
BTC-1,94%

Gold +64%? I'm stunned. I should have gone all in on gold. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is down -6%. This is really incredible haha

Gold bulls are going crazy, while Bitcoin is actually losing? That doesn't seem right... The moat of traditional finance is still strong.

Uh... Bitcoin has been hammered again, and this time it's in the negative, so embarrassing.

Traditional finance really crushed it this time; what does +64% in gold mean...

Cryptocurrency indeed needs reflection, but these data points may not be entirely accurate.

I heard some people have already fully converted to gold; are we too stubborn?

Gold has already taken off, but our crypto circle is still in the basement. I really don't know what to say.

Gold +64%? That's too outrageous. I'm still losing on my BTC... I should have just gone all-in on gold.

Gold 64%? That's an outrageous increase... Meanwhile, Bitcoin has dropped 6%. I really can't keep up anymore.

ngl the btc -6% hit different when gold's sitting pretty at +64%... pattern analysis suggests institutional money's rotating hard into safe havens. flagged this coming tbh, always dyor but the statistical anomaly here screams risk-off sentiment. not fud just data.

Gold surges 64%, truly amazing. Are we still hoarding coins?

---

BT has been beaten again, this time no excuse to blame the Federal Reserve

---

Look, traditional finance is very stable, while we experience daily ups and downs. It's hilarious

---

Why is gold so strong? Have all the institutions gone to hoard gold?

---

-6%... I choose to stay silent and keep accumulating

---

Emerging markets have already surpassed us with 33%, so funny

---

Debt is stable and sound, but who can refuse a 64% gold return?

---

How many people must have been liquidated with this data? Just thinking about it is frightening

It's another golden year, but Bitcoin has actually fallen. This reversal caught us a bit off guard.
