## Summary

Bitcoin and gold can serve complementary roles in a portfolio as scarce assets, but they respond differently to market conditions. Hot U.S. September inflation sent bitcoin sharply lower, underscoring its sensitivity to interest-rate expectations and its greater short-term volatility. The implication is that bitcoin may diversify exposure to gold, but should not be treated as a reliable near-term inflation hedge.
