比特币和黄金都是可以用来抵御通货膨胀的宝贵资产；然而，两者在历史、可访问性和其他需求来源方面存在重要差异。
毫无疑问，黄金有着悠久的历史和坚实的基础，而比特币只有不到十年的存在时间来证明其作为通胀对冲工具的价值。
去年 11 月，单个 BTC 的价格飙升至 65,000 美元以上，创下历史新高。这一增长与美国引入比特币交易所交易基金有关；而这一年的其他事件分别是由于涉及特斯拉和 Coinbase 的事件。
Coingecko 周日的数据显示，截至撰写本文时，BTC 的交易价格为 19,058.84 美元，过去 7 天下跌 5.5%。

尽管 BTC 自 2021 年创下历史新高以来已损失超过 73% 的价值，但加密牛市和 MicroStrategy 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Michael Saylor 并不担心。
他不仅认为数字货币将重现昔日的辉煌，而且他还认为加密货币有很大的空间可以超越目前的高点。
虽然最近几周世界上最受欢迎的加密货币的价值一直在下跌，但 MicroStrategy 一直在逢低买入。它的保险库中有 130,000 个 BTC，坐拥近 40 亿美元的加密货币。
“我认为比特币的下一个合乎逻辑的目标是取代黄金作为一种非主权的价值资产存储，而正如我们所说，黄金是价值 10 万亿美元的资产。比特币是数字黄金，它比黄金好 100 倍，”Saylor 在周三由 MarketWatch 主办的货币节上说。
根据 TradingView 周日的数据，比特币的市值约为 3650 亿美元。
比特币将在 10 年内达到 500,000 美元
在节日的最佳新创意环节中，Saylor 毫不犹豫地预测加密货币的价格在未来十年内可能达到 500,000 美元。
“加密货币的半衰期是永远的。您可以以光速在数十亿台计算机上移动它。因此，如果比特币达到黄金的价值，它将达到每枚硬币 500,000 美元，我认为这十年会发生，”Saylor 指出。
据 MarketWatch 称，Saylor 拥有大约 17,732 个比特币，他以大约 9,500 美元的价格购买了这些比特币。与此同时，MicroStrategy 的股价今年已下跌近 65%，就像比特币一样。
