The post Gold & Bitcoin Near 1980-Level Valuations, But Is The Run Over? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The combined value of gold and Bitcoin is approaching a historic level relative to the US M2 money supply. A top market analyst now suggests the upside potential for using these assets as hedges against dollar devaluation and inflation may be nearing its limit.
