According to Odaily, Edmund Moy, a senior IRA strategist at the US Money Reserve, a major distributor of precious metals for the US federal government, has commented on Bitcoin's potential to rival gold. Moy noted that both Bitcoin and gold are alternative assets that can help reduce risk in traditional investment portfolios. Bitcoin has long been touted by cryptocurrency enthusiasts as 'digital gold,' a sentiment echoed by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who recently likened Bitcoin to gold.
However, Moy emphasized that the differences between Bitcoin and gold outweigh their similarities, pointing out that the correlation between the two is not strong. He suggested that the uncertainty in the coming year might be a compelling reason for investors to hold both assets. Despite this, Moy cautioned that investors seeking to diversify their portfolios should remember that diversification alone does not completely eliminate risk, especially given Bitcoin's volatility.
