As gold and Bitcoin reach record highs, there is a debate over which asset is better as "hard money" to hedge against economic uncertainty, inflation, and geopolitical change. Gold has risen by 38% in the past year, while Bitcoin has risen by 115%. Advocates for Bitcoin believe it is an inflation hedge asset for the long-term, while proponents of gold argue that its bull market is just getting started. Some investors see crypto as a way to digitize gold, with interest in Bitcoin's potential as "digital gold" growing among younger investors. Both assets may signal a lack of confidence in traditional financial markets and serve as safe havens during economic downturns. The debate over which is the better "hard money" has yet to be settled, but both assets are resonating with investors seeking stability in uncertain times.
