Experts also note that half of the worldโs capital is seeking a better store of value. This has driven a significant shift over the past two years from fiat currencies to hard assets like gold and Bitcoin. ๐ง

๐ Analysts at Sentora (formerly IntoTheBlock) highlight a key difference in this Bitcoin cycle compared to previous ones.
