Analyst: Bitcoin Outperforms Gold and Silver by a Wide Margin in the Past 10 Years

According to Cointelegraph, crypto analyst Adam Livingston pointed out that since 2015, Bitcoin has seen a cumulative increase of about 27,701%, significantly outperforming silver by about 405% and gold by about 283% during the same period, calling it a top asset. Gold advocate and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff countered that only the past 4 years should be compared, and stated that the era of Bitcoin has passed. In response, Matt Golliher, co-founder of Bitcoin wealth management company Orange Horizon Wealth, stated that commodity prices tend to converge towards production costs in the long term, with price increases stimulating supply; whereas Bitcoin has a fixed supply attribute, making its logic different. In 2025, precious metal prices surged significantly, with gold reaching a historical high of about $4,533 per ounce and silver approaching $80 per ounce; however, Bitcoin's trend remained relatively stagnant. At the same time, the US Dollar Index (DXY) fell nearly 10% year-to-date, marking one of the worst annual performances in a decade. Arthur Hayes believes that the Fed's loose policy and the weakening dollar will be long-term positives for scarce assets (including gold, silver, and Bitcoin).
