Will Bitcoin Flip Gold This Cycle? - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: Can Bitcoin flip gold this cycle? It seems unlikely, but the parallels between a post-Spot Gold-ETF and a Spot Bitcoin-ETF world are worth examining further!
Hey Bitcoiners,
Swan’s Hurley highlights how Bitcoin OG Adam Back and several institutional investors like Michael Saylor believe Bitcoin could flip gold this cycle. Microstrategy started investing in Bitcoin in August 2020; Bitcoin is up 214% despite the volatility.
One look at the chart of a pre-ETF gold-approved world only begins to consider the possibilities of what an institutionally backed Spot-Bitcoin ETF means for Bitcoin's adoption and potential future.
Enjoy!
