Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway just beat the S&P 500.
Sounds impressive, right? But here’s the twist: Gold and #Bitcoin BOTH crushed the S&P—and that changes everything.
In 2024, Berkshire Hathaway delivered a 25.5% return, edging out the S&P 500’s 23.3%.A win for value investing? Sure. But there’s a catch.
Gold, the “no-earnings” precious metal, outperformed the S&P 500 too. Gold’s gains aren’t from innovation or growth—they reflect inflation hedging and fear of economic chaos.
So… how much of the S&P’s return is real growth vs. monetary debasement?
A bigger chunk of the S&P’s returns may stem from the effects of debased fiat currency than many admit.If you’re tracking gains in dollars but losing against assets like gold, are you really winning?
Gold outperformed. But Bitcoin? It absolutely obliterated. In 2024, Bitcoin delivered a ~120% return—leaving the S&P, Berkshire Hathaway, and gold in the dust.
Think of Bitcoin as gold on steroids:
Finite supply (21M BTC ever).
Resistant to debasement.
Built for the digital age.
While gold protects value, Bitcoin grows it in ways traditional assets can’t match.
If your portfolio isn’t beating inflation-proof assets like gold—or the digital powerhouse Bitcoin—you’re losing real economic value.
The question isn’t “should you diversify?” It’s can you afford not to?
