Bitcoin experienced much larger losses than gold during recent U.S. market selloffs, dropping nearly 60% compared to gold's less than 9% loss in one period. Despite this, Bitcoin's recovery after downturns has been stronger, gaining nearly 79% after the 2018 market trough versus gold's 18%. Gold remains more stable with lower volatility, making it a safer portfolio asset, while Bitcoin's higher volatility can boost returns but also increases risk. Portfolio tests suggest adding a small Bitcoin allocation can improve risk-adjusted returns, though it may slightly increase maximum losses. This highlights Bitcoin and gold's differing roles in investment portfolios depending on market conditions.
