Don't forget that gold also has demand from central banks and jewelry; Bitcoin is more of an investment/store of value asset, so be more cautious.

Gold has been a consensus for thousands of years; BTC is the native consensus of the internet. The timelines are different, but the trend is indeed changing.

If we measure by the total value held by "Americans," surpassing in a bull market is not surprising; after a dip, the position might shift again.

Is this data reliable? Is the measurement based on market value or the number of holders?

Gold is in the safe, Bitcoin is on the chain; liquidity and verifiability truly are a blow to lower dimensions.

If the proportion of BTC in American household balance sheets continues to rise, will the next step be more corporate/pension fund allocations?

On the other hand, gold is "no yield but stable," while BTC is "high volatility but potentially stronger," each has its place.

Don't be misled by a single statement; gold is a global market, and BTC is also a global market. Regional statistics can be misleading.

Want to see the breakdown: how much do retail investors vs institutions hold? Do ETFs also count as holdings by Americans?

Times have changed; now you can carry a "gold bar" made of 12 words around the world.
