In global inflation, Bitcoin can be treated as a speculative asset with high growth potential rather than a guaranteed inflation hedge. Its price often correlates with risk-on sentiment, surging when investors chase returns (e.g., 2020 bull run) but crashing during risk-off periods (e.g., 2022 bear market). Gold, by contrast, tends to hold steady or rise modestly during inflation (e.g., ~15% gain in 2020), while stocks can deliver mixed results depending on the sector—tech stocks may falter, but energy or consumer staples often thrive. An aggressive strategy might involve timing Bitcoin purchases during market dips (e.g., below $30,000), holding for 12–18 months, and pairing with gold to hedge against crypto volatility and stocks for broader market exposure. This approach suits high-risk investors.
