Bitcoin Outperforms Gold and Stocks Over Multi-Year Periods Amid Volatility
Over the past three to five years, Bitcoin has outperformed gold, silver, and Indian equities, delivering returns between 183% and 234%. However, Bitcoin's volatility and regulatory uncertainties pose risks. Gold and silver have provided more stable returns, especially over shorter periods, with precious metals outperforming cryptocurrencies in the last year. Indian stock indices like the Nifty 50 and Sensex showed modest gains or declines depending on the timeframe. Investment outcomes vary significantly based on asset class, market conditions, and investment horizon.
