    During the 2008 global financial crisis, gold dropped in price by more than 30% leading into the depths of the real pain. This isn’t because gold is a bad store of value or that it had lost safe haven status after 5,000 years. It is because gold has a liquid market and investors needed liquidity over anything else

    Even though gold fell 30% during the 6 month liquidity crisis, the asset still went from approximately $650 in 2006 to over $1,800 in 2011.

    The same thing is playing out here with Bitcoin, digital gold. The story is not over yet.
