Bitcoin: Understanding Why Anthony Pompliano Calls It ‘Gold with Wings’
Bitcoin (BTC-USD) has experienced a significant drop from its peak above $73,000, currently resting below $60,000 following four consecutive days of declines. The cryptocurrency market has been on a downward trend due to various factors, leading to potential volatility in the wake of the US presidential election.
Despite the recent pullback, bitcoin remains up by more than 114% compared to the same period last year, prompting crypto investors to ponder whether its upward trajectory will persist or if another period of crypto winter looms on the horizon.
Anthony Pompliano, the Founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management, shared his bullish perspective on bitcoin during an appearance on Market Domination Overtime. He likened bitcoin to “gold (GC=F) with wings,” highlighting its ability to offer downside protection and purchasing power preservation while also exhibiting the compounding characteristics of an asset that has seen a compound annual growth rate of approximately 62% over the past decade.
In discussing the popularity of bitcoin ETFs, Pompliano emphasized their appeal to financial institutions, corporations, and larger family offices seeking exposure to the asset. He noted that ETFs provide a cost-effective and liquid avenue for such entities to invest in bitcoin, driving continued interest in the market. However, he acknowledged that price fluctuations are inevitable as they are influenced by the dynamics of supply and demand.
