During the 2020 COVID-19 crisis, Bitcoin's price rose from ~$5,000 to over $29,000 by year-end as investors sought safe-haven assets amid stimulus-driven inflation fears, mirroring gold's 18% gain. In 2022, amid rising rates and recession fears, Bitcoin held value better than stocks, reinforcing its "digital gold" narrative, though its volatility remains a debate point.
