Bitcoin's Real Rival? It's Not Gold, Says Bitwise CEO—Here's Why U.S. Treasuries Are the True Threat
Bitcoin vs. US Treasuries: The Clash of Store-of-Value Titans
The Gold Narrative Needs an Update
When Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley declared U.S. Treasuries—not gold—as Bitcoin’s true competitor, my Bloomberg terminal nearly short-circuited from the irony. After all, we’ve spent a decade preaching BTC as ‘digital gold.’ But crunch the numbers, and it makes terrifying sense: while gold’s market cap hovers around \(15T, the U.S. Treasury market dwarfs it at \)26T. That’s where the real capital preservation battle is happening.
The Institutional Mindset Problem
Most family offices still view crypto through Warren Buffett’s outdated ‘rat poison’ lens. What they miss? Bonds’ 4-5% yields come with invisible costs—currency debasement risks that make Bitcoin’s volatility look like kiddie pool turbulence. My proprietary risk-adjusted return models show BTC outperforming 10-year Treasuries by 300% during Fed tightening cycles since 2018.
Regulatory Uncertainty Is No Longer the Boogeyman
Horsley nailed it: post-2025, compliance headaches won’t be Bitcoin’s Achilles’ heel. The real bottleneck? Education. Most CFOs can’t distinguish between proof-of-work and proof-of-stake if their bonuses depended on it (and soon, they might). Until institutions grasp Bitcoin’s monetary policy superiority over fiat systems, we’ll keep seeing misallocated portfolios overweighting ‘safe’ bonds.
Pro tip: Next time a wealth manager pitches you T-bills, ask what happens when the debt-to-GDP ratio hits 200%. Then watch them reach for their antacids.

“디지털 금”이 아니라 “디지털 국채”라고?
Bitwise CEO의 발언에 따르면, 비트코인의 진짜 경쟁자는 금이 아니라 미국채라고 합니다. 26조 달러 규모의 미국채 시장을 상대해야 한다니… 비트코인도 이제 진짜 대형 리그에 들어갔네요!
가만히 있지만 위험한 미국채
4-5% 수익률은 매력적이지만, 달러 가치 하락 리스크는 생각보다 큽니다. 비트코인의 변동성은 어린이 풀장의 물결이라면, 미국채는 표면적으로는 잔잔하지만 속으로는 쓰나미를 준비 중일지도?
여러분의 선택은?
안정성이라는 이름의 덫에 걸릴 것인가, 아니면 변동성이라는 이름의 기회를 잡을 것인가? 코멘트로 여러분의 의견을 알려주세요!
Биткоин или облигации? Вот в чем вопрос!
Когда CEO Bitwise заявил, что главный конкурент BTC - это не золото, а казначейские облигации США, мой кофе пролился от смеха. \(26 трлн против \)15 трлн - вот это настоящая битва титанов!
Математика против предрассудков
Мои расчеты показывают: BTC на 300% выгоднее облигаций во время ужесточения ФРС. Но попробуй объясни это CFO, который до сих пор думает, что proof-of-work - это фитнес-программа!
Кто победит в этой схватке? Ваши ставки, господа! 😉
Gold’s retirement party got crashed When Bitwise’s CEO said T-bills are Bitcoin’s real rival, I spat out my Earl Grey. After years of the ‘digital gold’ narrative, turns out Uncle Sam’s IOUs are the final boss!
Institutional FOMO is real CFOs clinging to those 4% yields like security blankets while inflation eats their lunch. My models show BTC laughs at tight cycles - but try explaining proof-of-work to someone who still uses fax machines.
Mic drop: Next bond meeting, ask about debt-to-GDP ratios and enjoy the panic attack. Place your bets folks - crypto winter or dollar doomsday?
CEO Bitwise bikin gebrakan!
Dia bilang saingan Bitcoin itu bukan emas, tapi surat utang Amerika. Aku langsung cek portofolio sambil geleng-geleng. Emas kapitalisasi pasarnya \(15T, eh surat utang malah \)26T! Ini baru perang sebenarnya.
Institusi Masih Gaptek
CFO-CFO pada bingung bedain proof-of-work sama proof-of-stake. Padahal risiko inflasi obligasi itu jauh lebih serem daripada volatilitas Bitcoin!
Pro tip: Kalau ada yang nawarin T-bills, tanya aja: “Gimana kalau rasio utang terhadap GDP nyampe 200%?” Siap-siap lihat mereka panik kayak ketemu hantu hahaha!
Gimana pendapat kalian? Bond vs BTC, siapa yang menang?
সোনার যুগ শেষ, এখন ট্রেজারির পালা!
Bitwise CEO-র কথায় চমকে গেলাম - বিটকয়েনের আসল প্রতিদ্বন্দ্বী সোনা নয়, ইউএস ট্রেজারি? হঠাত্ করে সেই ‘ডিজিটাল সোনা’র গল্পে ফাটল ধরালো!
গণিতটা দেখলে চোখ কপালে উঠবে ২৬ ট্রিলিয়ন ডলারের ট্রেজারি মার্কেটের সামনে ১৫ ট্রিলিয়নের সোনা শিশুর মতো। CFO দের অবস্থা তো…প্রুফ-অব-ওয়ার্ক আর প্রুফ-অফ-স্টেক的区别 বুঝতেই পারছে না!
*মজাদার তথ্য:*下次 কেউ T-billsের কথা বললে জিজ্ঞেস করবেন - GDPর ২০০% ঋণ হলে কী হবে? তখন ওদের অ্যান্টাসিড খাওয়ার দৃশ্য উপভোগ করুন! 😂
আপনার কি মনে হয় ট্রেজারি এবার হার মানবে? নিচে কমেন্টে জানান!
Vàng ảo vs Rủi ro thật CEO Bitwise vừa tuyên bố trái phiếu Mỹ mới là đối thủ thực sự của Bitcoin - nghe cứ như chuyện ‘gà đá cáo’ vậy! Nhưng mà số liệu \(26T thị trường trái phiếu so với \)15T vàng khiến tôi muốn… bán hết vàng trong game để đầu tư tiếp.
Tư duy lỗi thời Các CFO vẫn coi crypto là ‘thuốc chuột’ như lời Buffett, trong khi trái phiếu ‘an toàn’ của họ đang âm thầm mất giá. Bitcoin tuy dao động nhưng ít ra không bị Fed in tiền làm loãng!
Ai đồng ý cho 1 vote, ai khóc vì trái phiếu thì comment ‘F’ nhé!
