They said bitcoin is volatile than gold

[shinratensei_]

It is just recent condition that has made gold like this. In the past, gold has been much less volatile compared to bitcoin. The current economic condition all over the world is itself very volatile.

Since the big debt, m2 supply ath, and tariffs people have been so anxious about economy and they think gold is the safe haven.
The gold bullrun is a sign that people are afraid of holding fiat and worry that the value could be eaten by inflation.

Right now some people realize their juicy profit for holding gold and the buy demand isn't strong anymore. Gold actually has been volatile for long on a smaller scale of course.
But guess what, bitcoin is becoming less and less volatile that it's as good as gold right now and it's as liquid.

Bitcoin is well known for volatile and I also believe that this is more experienced than the volatility in gold, not only about the volatility alone, but when we comes to profitability, we can see that bitcoin has proven years of consistency under a decentralized network and also more profitable than we could have with gold, forget about gold making all time high, the rates are in sizes when compared to what Bitcoin stand to give.

This is the biggest fall of the price of gold in three years. I wonder the excuse Peter Schiff will give for this volatility

I guess you don't follow the news because he advised people to sell gold on Monday before the price corrects, and he even called it a meme. Due to the recent unusual increase in gold prices.

This drop was relatively caused by profit-taking because gold was overbought. Investors bought gold massively because of the tension between China and the US and the expectations that the Fed will cut interest rates.

To be precise, this decline is due to gold speculators making profits through futures trading. But this will not have any serious impact as central banks will buy more if gold prices fall. This is what bitcoin lacks, it doesn't get the attention of central banks.

Central banks have been the big drivers and main factor driving gold prices higher over the past year, not speculators.

Those people who usually give excuses that Bitcoin is volatile don't understand how it works.  You can always make a profit from Bitcoin if you give it a long-term approach.

Maybe they don't understand, or maybe bitcoin simply doesn't suit their taste and investment criteria. We cannot expect the whole world to need and invest in bitcoin, as everyone will have different preferences and criteria.

Just because they don't invest in it doesn't mean they don't understand it.

I don't know what chart you've looked at, but i never seen gold hit almost 4900 yet. It's highest peak were at 4400 range. And it dumps to 4000 just like you've mentioned. And yes, we can consider gold is now volatile due to this drop, for the reasons, well so many factors affecting on it.

A drop can be just a drop but to say it is volatile, it needs to have a frequent up and down in its value just like what we see in Bitcoin. A drop can only have a few factor but indeed that being volatile has a lot of factors which causes it.  Investment wise, it is better to diversify on different great assets. Bitcoin is not 'riskier' but riskier are those shitcoins. In spite of it, we still can be able to make more money out of Bitcoin.

I choose Bitcoin for its convenience. Many more people will begin to choose Bitcoin for its convenience. Gold prices can be volatile during times of war, and there are several key reasons why gold prices are so volatile today.

I think gold is also convenient in a way that it is physical, so we can just make transactions right away (preferably small sizes of gold). Not just gold but Bitcoin price can also be volatile during wars because people can panic and sell to have a back-up fund with them and then they also think that the markets can get shaken. Now that we have a Bitcoin, people start calling it as a safe haven. That should make the demand for gold lesser.

Gold increased to almost $4900 recently but it crashed below $4000. Although the price is slightly above $4000 now but liquidation was more than $2.5 trillion as it falled.

Since I have known gold, I have not seen it so volatile like this. With what happened to it and bitcoin recently, their volatility is somehow similar. I think gold may not rise for now because of how it increased recently.

What do you think?

Bitcoin is a good asset that can also be bought for long term holding which will not disappoint. There can be volatility like this also in bitcoin but at last, the price will go up and get to all time high.

But for convenience I prefer bitcoin.

Because I follow Bitcoin too closely, it may be difficult for me to say yes or no regarding which is more volatile.
I only know that gold is slower than Bitcoin in terms of hedging, but gold is also reliable.

For example, if gold is currently at its highest price, Bitcoin has reached that price several times, and even gold's all-time high is only a small fraction of Bitcoin's current all-time high. This is the same as what I said in my other post, meaning that for me, Bitcoin is ahead of gold if we compare them to a race.

Gold's recent movements have indeed been quite surprising. What used to be stable gold has now seemed more volatile than usual. This could be the effect of global economic conditions and monetary policy, which have caused investors to react quickly. Comparing it to bitcoin, you might be right that the volatility of the two is starting to appear similar in the short term. The difference is that bitcoin's volatility is inherent in its character, while gold's volatility is less frequent and usually due to significant external factors. I agree that bitcoin is attractive in the long term, especially with its increasingly widespread adoption and limited supply. But it's undeniable that some people prefer gold because it feels safer. So I were like you, I'd prefer bitcoin. That's because in the long term bitcoin has proven itself to be a modern store of value. And in terms of volatility, bitcoin is generally much more volatile than gold.

I don't know where are you getting the data if Gold's ATH was 4900 usd. As far as i know it's closer to the 4400 usd, but not even surpass 4500 usd per ounce. How can you write that Gold's ATH was 4900 usd?   

[ColdLava40]

All investments have their own unique type of price movement, or volatility. For this reason, it is difficult to compare Gold and Bitcoin directly, as they are completely different asset types with vastly different market sizes.

Gold has seen very strong performance over recent years, breaking new All Time Highs in 2025. Bitcoin has also performed well, though its price movement is often more dramatic than Gold's.

Bitcoin is actually the best digital asset anyone could everly buy and never get worried if it's going to lose or not because over the years there has never been any recorded case of Bitcoin making investors cry on the long run. Except for the traders who chose to gamble with their fund trying to rip the little profit they can. Which even causes them some kind of emotional imbalance, having difficulties to master the act of patience is a very difficult challenge in traders, and that's is why they keep losing most times.

I also prefer bitcoin and I think that the most of us here are so too.

The gold investors need to be attentive to its market. Because what the world has believed about it, is it's an asset that has a stable value and less in volatility.

While that can be true, those investors that seeks for the better profits might be disappointed as many of them have bought during the hype and when it's on the top.

It won't be a surprising thing anymore if it also starts to correct as that usually happens for all the markets and no asset can skip that.

Check the meaning of volatile, it doesn't have to be frequently for the term to apply. A single sharp price movement is enough to be considered volatility. So yes, the recent drop in gold's price is considered a form of volatility, especially since such a significant movement hasn't happened in many years.

[Renampun]

So we can see that even though the gold market has been considered more stable, the possibility of a crash still exists, because no asset is completely risk-free, all assets have their own risks, don't just because gold has been more stable for a few years, we can't immediately conclude that it will remain stable like that, there will definitely be times when the market rises significantly and then crashes due to many investors taking short-term profits.

and the same goes for Bitcoin, in the short term, you might see that it is more volatile, but that is just a normal market correction due to investors taking profits, however, in the long term, Bitcoin's trend actually shows consistent growth, and in fact, I am more confident in Bitcoin's price recovery compared to gold, because Bitcoin has a stronger and better long-term growth potential.

[Iranus]

Gold fell 20% and now it becomes the trending news across the globe but Bitcoin fell 20%? It's just another day bruh.

Gold is still the most stable asset that I ever known and there can be events that can make it volatile but bitcoin is more volatile and these kind of swings is just normal on anyday so if someone want to buy bitcoin then they should be prepared not to check the prices very often.

Gold only dropped about 7-8% because the ATH of gold was $4380, not $4900 as OP provided. I think he may be a bit mistaken, or his sources might not be accurate.

Gold is a safe haven asset, the most reliable store of value, so large fluctuations cannot be considered normal. Meanwhile, bitcoin is a highly speculative asset, so it is normal for bitcoin prices to fluctuate wildly or be dumped. But if bitcoin had the same capitalization as gold and was recognized by the world as a safe haven. If it's being dumped 20-30%, you're not going to think it's normal anymore.

Bitcoin is more volatile than gold when it comes to prices Bitcoin is still ahead of gold because the price of bitcoin ca. Change within seconds compare to that of gold and there are a lot of factors that contributing to what control the market of bitcoin so to me if you want faster profit the you should invest in bitcoin. And the same time when the price of bitcoin comes to crashing it is not funny at all, but I know a thousand people that will choose bitcoin over gold. Because bitcoin is usually moved by demand and and supply  and bitcoin have high demand more than gold. And gold is a good investment but bitcoin is better.

[Agbe]

Why recent comparison of Bitcoin with gold and other assets that am seeing on the platform. investing in gold or Bitcoin is a choice which is based on investment preference which that is majorly influenced by once personally knowledge about either gold as an asset or Bitcoin. There is no asset in the world today that you will invest into that doesn't is no affected by volatility including real estate, the price of a house that is valued at a particular price today will not be the same in ten years time. Bitcoin as an asset is unique and because it's a digital that has the potentials of bouncing back even if the price falls to all time low today due to Volatility there for Bitcoin should not be an asset that should be compared to another's like gold. We as Bitcoin enthusiastic should always prioritize Bitcoin over assets like gold because we know better and again as a choice of investment.

People are taking out profits in gold. Does that drop have to be anything else?

But i am honestly baffled why do you think gold wouldn't go higher but bitcoin would. If you are basing that on the chart, then gold seems like it's just doing another retrace, because it can't just go up without bouncing.

both of them have done ATH lately, so what technical or fundamental analysis makes gold less reliable to do new ath again?

[JeffBrad12]

This goes to show that even the number 1 asset with nearing 35T at its ATH can have the same volatility as bitcoin .
Turn out it's all the same price action when hype got mixed with the market, even the asset that deemed to be the most stable turning more volatile just because people are buying it in bulk.

The funny thing is that,that same exact thing namely hype happened to bitcoin this past decade and people are shouting volatility. Yet if it happened to gold, people become indifferent.

Not only do you not follow the news, you also do not follow what people are discussing in this topic. As many others have pointed out, the all time high for gold was only $4,381, not $4,900 as OP is hyping, and gold fell to $4,000-3,900. This is only a correction of about 8-9% and compared to the volatility of bitcoin that drop is really nothing.

Although gold is considered a safe haven, it is also a financial market, which means that gold can also be subject to corrections as no market rises in a straight line.

Gold has been rising so much for a very long time, so even if it experiences a sharp correction would be considered normal and a healthy correction. Unlike bitcoin, this market is rife with manipulation and can be dumped with just a statement from a president.

But for convenience I prefer bitcoin.

Bitcoin is more convenient to hold than gold and with the many comparison of this two, one can just not say bitcoin won’t remain an edge against bitcoin even in the long run. Both assets are volatile and may even show same level of volatility sometimes. Bitcoin as a digital asset can be hold and be with you as long and take everywhere you go unlike gold which is a physical asset and can be very hard to take around. The advantage of bitcoin supersede that of bitcoin and that makes it a lesser asset to hold than gold.

It is a rather glaring fact that Bitcoin is a new comer and less mature asset than gold and its value is driven by different factors making it much more volatile in nature as compared to gold.

For one, Bitcoin has lower liquidity. It is driven by speculation and market sentiments, regulatory concerns as well as much more technical and supply dynamics like the halving and a 24/7 trading time span that makes volatility an almost constant phenomenon without a cool off in the market, all contribute to reasons why Bitcoin is more volatile than gold, but a better investment option for wealth accumulation than traditional finance system would guarantee.
