In the era of digital assets, the very concept of money and investment has changed. The broad market index continues to renew record highs, but according to calculations by Opening Bell Daily co-founder Phil Rosen, in bitcoin-equivalent terms, the S&P 500 has "lost" 88% of its value since 2020.

This is a clear sign that the world is adapting to a new reality — one where an asset’s value depends directly on technology. The old economy wins in numbers, but loses in efficiency.

The S&P 500 is no longer the benchmark of success — cryptocurrency has become the new standard of profitability.

Growing distrust toward major reserve currencies — especially the U.S. dollar — is fueling Bitcoin’s rally. If central banks and hedge fund managers continue to reduce their exposure not only to the dollar but to all fiat currencies at the current pace, there will be no barriers to Bitcoin’s growth.

As Warren Buffett famously said: “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”

Fans of the S&P 500 claim the index holds trillions in market capitalization. But that doesn’t mean it represents sustainable value.

Let’s recall:

The S&P 500 is denominated in U.S. dollars — a currency the Federal Reserve keeps printing at a phenomenal rate. Continuous money issuance leads to devaluation, growing debt, and declining purchasing power.

When stock prices rise not because of business efficiency, but due to a weakening currency, the market rally becomes nothing more than an optical illusion.

If index growth is driven by monetary expansion rather than real productivity, it’s not success — it’s plain inflation.

Bitcoin operates differently: it doesn’t produce goods or provide services, but it offers something more valuable — trust. It’s assumed that cryptocurrency isn’t controlled by governments, banks, or corporations (though that’s not entirely true). Practically speaking, it’s a modern version of the “gold standard.”

Today, equities lag behind both Bitcoin and gold in terms of investor confidence. The S&P 500 reflects the U.S. economy — an economy deeply dependent on the Federal Reserve and unstable American politics. Bitcoin’s growth, on the other hand, reflects rational market anxiety.

Bitcoin represents a pure market economy — no intermediaries: trust is built into the code, rules apply equally to everyone, and volatility is simply the price of monetary and technological independence.

Stock indices depend on human decisions; crypto depends on algorithms. In a world of natural disasters, wars, and irrational politicians, technology stands as the more stable asset.

Ultimately, the choice is yours — make sure it’s the right one.

From a technical standpoint, the S&P 500 continues its rally, aiming to confidently break above the $6,750 zone and move toward $6,900–$6,950. However, the market remains full of risks and periodic panic — a drop below $6,700 could trigger large stop-losses and speculative sell-offs.

So we act wisely and avoid unnecessary risks.

Profits to y’all!
