Looking at the performance of various assets in 2025, it's quite interesting.

Gold is far ahead, with a direct +64%, emerging markets follow closely with +33%, and international developed markets also saw an increase of +32%. In technology, the Nasdaq 100 index gained +21%, while the S&P 500 was up +18%. Small-cap stocks performed relatively average, with only +13%.

On the bond side, things are more stable—US bond funds +7%, short-term government bonds +5%, long-term government bonds +4%. Commodities rose by 6%, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) only increased by 3%.

The most heartbreaking is Bitcoin, which actually declined by 6% among these assets. The performance of crypto assets compared to traditional finance indeed warrants some reflection.

Gold has already taken off, but our crypto circle is still in the basement. I really don't know what to say.

Gold +64%? That's too outrageous. I'm still losing on my BTC... I should have just gone all-in on gold.

Gold 64%? That's an outrageous increase... Meanwhile, Bitcoin has dropped 6%. I really can't keep up anymore.

ngl the btc -6% hit different when gold's sitting pretty at +64%... pattern analysis suggests institutional money's rotating hard into safe havens. flagged this coming tbh, always dyor but the statistical anomaly here screams risk-off sentiment. not fud just data.

Gold surges 64%, truly amazing. Are we still hoarding coins? --- BT has been beaten again, this time no excuse to blame the Federal Reserve --- Look, traditional finance is very stable, while we experience daily ups and downs. It's hilarious --- Why is gold so strong? Have all the institutions gone to hoard gold? --- -6%... I choose to stay silent and keep accumulating --- Emerging markets have already surpassed us with 33%, so funny --- Debt is stable and sound, but who can refuse a 64% gold return? --- How many people must have been liquidated with this data? Just thinking about it is frightening

It's another golden year, but Bitcoin has actually fallen. This reversal caught us a bit off guard.
