Bitcoin seems to be lower at the moment. Since the beginning of 2025, the price of Bitcoin has decreased by more than 10.50%. The current BTC price is $ 83,706.02. It seems that the Bitcoin market follows the general trend of the US stock market. During this period, the S&P 500 index fell by at least 5.44%. However, it seems that gold follows a different trend.
Since the start of the year, the gold market has increased by less than 17.56%. Currently, the price of gold is at $ 3,085.345. Interestingly, the famous gold defender Peter Schiff plans that if the price of gold exceeds the level of $ 5,000, the BTC market could drop up to $ 10,000.
Bitcoin vs Gold: Schiff’s argument for a crypto crash
Schiff, known for his skepticism towards Bitcoin, warns that if the price of gold crosses the level of $ 5,000, the price of the BTC could drop as low as $ 10,000. Expressing concerns about the long -term viability of the BTC market, he maintains that Bitcoin lacks solid fundamentals.
Meanwhile, Schiff recognizes that the Bitcoin market has managed to gain the confidence of a segment of young investors.
Bitcoin losing value against gold – what do data say?
At the start of this year, an ounce of gold was equivalent to 0.02771 BTC. Since then, it has jumped more than 32.80%. Currently, an ounce of gold costs at least 0.03680 BTC. At one point on March 11, 2025, he reached a peak of 0.03763 BTC. Yesterday, it increased by more than 5.47%.
This indicates that the value of Bitcoin has experienced a significant drop of almost 33% against gold since the beginning of 2025.
In particular, in December 2021, 1 BTC was worth 41 ounces of gold, but now it is only 27.4 ounces.

The acclaimed merchant Peter Brandt and the popular crypto analyst Michael Vande Poppe are among those who share this point of view.
Stressing that a bear corner model has formed in the BTC daily price table, Brandt estimates that the price of Bitcoin could drop to almost $ 65,635.
