TD₿: Gold’s New All-Time High: A Signal for Bitcoin’s Next Move? - (a Swan Signal video segment) with Hurley, John Haar, Steven Lubka and Brandon Quittem
TL;DR: Gold has hit a record $3,000/oz, signaling the breakdown of Bretton Woods, the failure of 60/40 portfolios, and a shift to hard assets. Bitcoin is next.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Over the last five years, stocks and gold have delivered nearly identical returns, while bonds have suffered. Investors are waking up to gold’s resilience—and by extension, Bitcoin’s potential.
As gold continues to rise, Bitcoin is positioned as its next challenger in the evolving financial system. With ETFs, institutional backing, and corporate strategies like MicroStrategy’s, Bitcoin’s case as digital gold is strengthening.
The geopolitical realignment and push for a new monetary order is set to accelerate Bitcoin’s adoption. Given the current macroeconomic backdrop, this may be the best risk-adjusted time in history to buy Bitcoin, as the financial world recalibrates around hard assets.
