Macroeconomist Lyn Alden predicts Bitcoin will outperform gold over the next two to three years
Alden notes gold sentiment is 'somewhat euphoric' while Bitcoin sentiment is 'somewhat unfairly negative'
Bitcoin sentiment index shows 'Extreme Fear' (18/100) while gold sentiment shows 'Greed' (72/100).
Deep Dive
Macroeconomist Lyn Alden predicts that Bitcoin is likely to outperform gold in terms of price performance through to 2029. Alden stated on the New Era Finance podcast that if she had to bet on which asset would perform better over the next two to three years, it would be Bitcoin. She noted that after gold's recent strong rally, the diminishing return story per cycle for gold is likely to be erased in the coming one.
Bitcoin is frequently compared to gold as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty, earning it the moniker "digital gold." Alden acknowledged that gold is experiencing "somewhat euphoric" sentiment following its recent all-time high of around $5,608 in January. She described this sentiment as "somewhat euphoric" but stopped short of calling it a bubble.
In contrast, the sentiment towards Bitcoin is described as "somewhat unfairly negative." The Crypto Fear and Greed Index registered an "Extreme Fear" score of 18 out of 100, while the JM Bullion gold Fear and Greed Index showed a "Greed" score of 72 out of 100 on the same day. Bitcoin is currently trading at $71,164, down 44% from its October all-time high of $126,000.
While both Bitcoin and gold are often considered alternatives to fiat currencies, their price movements are not always consistent. They can move in tandem during periods of macro uncertainty or decouple. Alden advises against relying too heavily on rigid narratives about their relationship, stating that both assets can rise or fall together.
These comments follow warnings from billionaire investor Ray Dalio, who cautioned against Bitcoin as a long-term store of value and safe-haven asset, citing a lack of central bank support and concerns about privacy and quantum resistance. Dalio emphasized gold's status as "the most established money" and a significant reserve asset for central banks.
Conversely, in October 2025, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju observed an increasing correlation between Bitcoin and gold, suggesting both assets were strengthening their reputations as hedges against macroeconomic uncertainty.
