A set of data is quite interesting—comparing the status of traditional assets and crypto assets among the top 50 assets by market capitalization worldwide.



Currently, gold still ranks first with a market cap of $30.12 trillion, reflecting its status as a store of value for thousands of years. Following are the dominance of American tech giants: NVIDIA with $4.54 trillion, Apple with $4.034 trillion, Silver with $3.995 trillion, Google with $3.788 trillion, Microsoft with $3.594 trillion, and Amazon with $2.467 trillion.

Interestingly, Bitcoin has already broken into the top ten globally with a market cap of $1.747 trillion. This means Bitcoin's market value has surpassed the GDP of most countries and many multinational corporations. From this perspective, Bitcoin took less than 20 years to go from zero to one of the most valuable assets in the world, which is indeed astonishing.

However, it should be noted that the market cap of gold is more than 17 times that of Bitcoin. This also explains why some say Bitcoin is "digital gold"—its current size is still not enough to fully replace gold's position, but its growth potential is worth watching. Although the cryptocurrency market is volatile, its share in the global asset landscape is indeed gradually increasing.

A 17x gap in gold indicates there's still a long way to go... But Bitcoin went from zero to over 1.7 trillion in less than 20 years, and this speed is truly remarkable. How can traditional assets catch up?

The 17x gap in gold is right here. When it comes to numbers, gold still has a lot of work to do... However, this growth rate is truly incredible. In 20 years, going from zero to a trillion-dollar level, when have traditional assets ever seen such a spectacle?

Wow, Bitcoin is actually close to entering the top ten globally. It's only been 20 years... The 17-fold gap with gold looks significant, but who knows what it will be in ten years.

Gold is still king, but BTC's growth rate is truly impressive. Going from zero to 1.7 trillion in 20 years... If it weren't for that 17x gap, I might actually believe in the narrative of digital gold.

17x? Ha, so that means Bitcoin has 17 times more room to rise. I love this logic.

Gold's market cap gap of 17 times indicates that Bitcoin still has a long way to go, but considering it's only been 20 years... Wait, should I start gradually increasing my position?
