Gold has indeed performed remarkably recently. It rose by 4% in December alone, pushing the annual gain to 67%—the highest yearly return in decades. Such a level of increase is rare among traditional assets.

Interestingly, against the backdrop of macroeconomic volatility, safe-haven assets like gold continue to strengthen. Many are re-evaluating their asset allocations, especially in times of ongoing uncertainty. Its performance also reflects the market's re-pricing of risk.

Whether traditional investors or crypto asset allocators, gold's strong performance this year is worth noting. It also offers us some insights—diversified allocations are always relevant, regardless of the era.

67% annual return is really crazy. I was still stacking coins last year, and looking back now, buying gold might have been the winning move. --- Gold is rising so sharply; it seems the crypto world should also learn from their stability. --- The rise of safe-haven assets indicates everyone is panicking. Hmm, this signal feels a bit off. --- Diversified allocation sounds easy, but how many people can actually implement it? --- I missed the 67% gain on gold. By the way, is this about to peak?

67%? Oh my, this wave of gold is really crazy, rarely seen among traditional assets. Now forced to admit that diversification is not nonsense. When safe-haven assets are strong, crypto enthusiasts also have to copy the homework.

67%? This increase is outrageous, I really didn't expect gold to take off like this. Gold has risen so much that it feels like the crypto veterans also need to reconsider their allocations. Safe-haven assets are so popular... it shows that the market is indeed panicking. But on the other hand, traditional assets can also surge dramatically; this wave is definitely worth learning from. Diversification is truly the eternal truth, I just realized that. The gold bull market is here, and it's still necessary to allocate some, not all in on coins. 67%... this number feels a bit outrageous, I have a feeling there will be a pullback.

A 67% increase is honestly a bit outrageous; it's rare to see traditional assets perform like that. Speaking of which, gold has indeed outperformed many of my cryptocurrencies this time, I need to reflect on my allocations. Safe-haven assets are becoming popular again; the market is still cautious. Diversified allocation is a good idea, but there are still not many people truly willing to do it. When gold takes off, it seems like the crypto community isn't as excited—kind of ironic.
