Gold price plunges 8%! $2.43 trillion lost in 48 hours – that’s more than Bitcoin’s total market cap. This is one of the largest declines in recent years. The fall wiped out more than 110% of Bitcoin’s market cap. New question arises, Bitcoin or gold — which is the better bet in 2025? The answer isn’t simple. Bitcoin climbed about 20% this year, while gold outperformed with a 45% rally.
