While Bitcoin gets a lot of attention, it hasn’t played the safe-haven role many expected. In my view, there are a few reasons why. First, Bitcoin lacks privacy. Transactions can be monitored and potentially controlled, which is why central banks aren’t looking to hold it. Second, it also has a high correlation with tech stocks. When investors get squeezed in other areas of their portfolio, they sell their Bitcoin to cover it. Third, it’s a relatively small and controllable market, whereas gold stands alone. There is only one gold. Ultimately, gold is more widely held, deeply established, and still plays a central role in the global system.

(1) Like many teenage boys, Denis Dariotis didn’t want his teacher to see what was on his computer. So when the teacher asked to sneak a peek, Dariotis said no. “No, sorry, it’s private. I can’t show you,” Dariotis remembers saying. This was not the first time he’d faced off with his teachers. Having first dipped his toes into stock trading at age nine with the help of his father, a portfolio manager, Dariotis had found himself not just managing his own assets but those of a sprawling group of investors. “It caused a lot of problems,” Dariotis told DL News' @EricJohanssonLJ. For instance, he couldn’t show his computer screen to his teacher while he was doing trades. “That was probably my initial introduction to why privacy mattered,” Dariotis said.
