Gold and bitcoin should benefit from debasement as the US government, now the least credible it has ever been, faces higher borrowing costs that make its growing debt harder to finance, leading to money printing and more inflation. Bonds' risk-free status is eroding as the 10-year signals rising inflation and Fed hikes fail to slow a hot economy or fix an energy supply shock. x.comÂ
Government will never stop printing money, which should make bitcoin, gold and land do well for two decades. x.comÂ
Gold, silver and bitcoin are set to run as the QE money printer heats up. x.comÂ
Rising Treasury yields make non-yielding gold less attractive, setting up one major selloff before the next big rally. Oil above $100 adds inflation and rate pressure; higher yields could lift the dollar, while gold ETF outflows and forced selling in a liquidity crisis add risk. The Benner Cycle flags 2026 as a potential selling period. The long-term bull market is not necessarily over: central banks are still buying and long-term demand remains strong. Gold is not worth chasing at these levels. … Show more
A gold-trade unwind might be the real catalyst to send Bitcoin higher, rather than the AI-trade unwind many expect. The gold unwind is already happening: since late July, gold futures are down 0.7% while Bitcoin is up 26.5%. x.com x.comÂ
Bitcoin benefits as the risk of creating gold through alchemy has entered public consciousness. That perceived threat to gold's scarcity supports a long Bitcoin position as a persistent theme. x.comÂ
Bitcoin is likely to be hit hard in the scenario expected next year, with the dollar index now seemingly certain to reach 108-110. @AtlasShrug1 warns that a dollar index at those levels would make it tough for bitcoin and could bring a retest of the lows. x.com x.comÂ
Gold is set to take off as energy-driven stagflation traps the Fed and negative real rates favor it. Today's dovish hold was likely its last chance to hike: once the AI bubble bursts, the Fed loses that option, while current debt-to-GDP rules out Volcker-style hikes without fiscal insolvency. Per Macrotrends' chart, gold rose eightfold from its 1976 low to its 1980 high, equivalent to $32,000 gold over five years in today's terms. x.com x.com x.comÂ
Bitcoin is a hedge against the coming disaster of bloated US debt and nonstop money printing. It forms a two-pronged hedge with gold, which complements it and is best added on sell-offs over time, while ongoing savings contributions go into bitcoin. x.comÂ
Gold has formed a multi-year top at $5.6K and won't return there before 2030. It is in a high-timeframe distribution phase, with trillions of dollars rotating out of gold into US equities, bitcoin and Chinese equities, fueling the next risk-on environment. Silver showed a classic blow-off top, and the same applies to gold. x.comÂ
Gold's dip on rate-driven opportunity costs is a buying opportunity, because higher rates force faster money-supply growth. The system is designed that way, since letting defaults ripple through it is politically unfeasible, and that pressure will intensify until the great monetary reset. x.comÂ
