The price of&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/rich-dad-poor-dad-author-reacts-to-bitcoin-crash" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> fell by almost 12% today, triggering massive liquidations worth over $1 billion. Explanations range from jump trading selling to an impending recession in the U.S. economy. Whatever the real reasons for such a collapse, the market is clearly being driven by extreme fear, uncertainty and doubt at the moment.
What is certain, however, is the question of what's next. To answer that question,&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/PeterLBrandt/status/1820278155547938927?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1820278155547938927%7Ctwgr%5E9d2d3bb16f6b1dffb84c2f05c108bcbf60f1a54e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FPeterLBrandt%2Fstatus%2F1820278155547938927" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Peter Brandt</a>, a legendary trader who has been in the market since the 1970s, has issued a new Bitcoin price update. However, the outlook is based on a comparison between&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-btc-on-verge-of-catastrophe-xrp-reaches-fundamental-support-level-solana-sol-gain-nullified" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a> and gold.
As many may know, cryptocurrencies are now perceived by many as a store of value, even dubbed Gold 2.0. Thus, Brandt reports that at current levels, Bitcoin could fall significantly against gold, by 39%, without undermining its long-term bullish outlook against gold.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 I have continually been harassed for this interpretation. I continue to believe it is a possibility -- I deal in possibilities, not probabilities and NEVER certainties <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$BTC</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24GC_F&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$GC_F</a>Do I have your attention yet????? <a href="https://t.co/tYIFQJZlgN" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/tYIFQJZlgN</a>— Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterLBrandt/status/1820278155547938927?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">August 5, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the long-term chart shows that the cryptocurrency could rise by more than 477%, highlighting its potential for significant upside.&nbsp;

Many investors say you should hold both gold and&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-14-years-ago-today-btc-was-priced-at-005" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> as part of a diversified portfolio. Relying on just one asset is risky, like chasing fool's gold, according to the trader. This shows why it is important to have a balanced investment strategy, where both gold and Bitcoin can play complementary roles.
"I believe in owning both gold and Bitcoin," Brandt himself concludes.
