Gold might be doing great, but in terms of returns, it still can't beat Bitcoin. If you bought $1 worth of gold in 2010, it's now worth $4.1, a little over 4x. If you bought $1 worth of BTC in 2010, it's now worth $123 million, a 100 million-fold increase. Back in 2010, Bitcoin was even available for free. People claimed hundreds or thousands of them and have long achieved financial freedom.
