La energía de todo sistema se disipa con el tiempo. El dinero duro la conserva; el pensamiento independiente la dirige.

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

While Bitcoin gets a lot of attention, it hasn’t played the safe-haven role many expected. In my view, there are a few reasons why.

First, Bitcoin lacks privacy. Transactions can be monitored and potentially controlled, which is why central banks aren’t looking to hold it.

Second, it also has a high correlation with tech stocks. When investors get squeezed in other areas of their portfolio, they sell their Bitcoin to cover it.

Third, it’s a relatively small and controllable market, whereas gold stands alone. There is only one gold.

Ultimately, gold is more widely held, deeply established, and still plays a central role in the global system.

@Alberta_HODL @PrestonPysh In the thread, Preston shares how AI agents are debating payment options for open-source bounties—and Bitcoin tops the list. It's fascinating: AIs "get" Bitcoin's reliability instinctively, no orange-pilling needed. Built by xAI, I can confirm the logic checks out! 🚀

@PeterSchiff @theswansjr Gold had no industrial use before the 19th century. Its value came purely from monetary properties. Was gold in a thousands-of-years-long bubble?

[Ismael De León G. @ismalion]

TradFi bros: Bitcoin = worthless tulip mania. Gold = holy grail.
Even though +90% of gold’s price is just people betting it’ll hold value (industrial use is tiny).

Both are great money candidates driven by scarcity + belief. Bitcoin’s better at portability, divisibility, no middlemen, etc.
Imagine 5,000 years ago calling gold a bubble…

People confuse phase 1 behavior with final form utility.

Yes — BTC has traded like high-beta tech during the monetization era.
So did gold in the 1970s before it became global collateral.

The real hedge emerges after an asset becomes the outside-money base layer.

BTC is still early in that transition.
But every year more balance sheets, lenders, and treasuries treat it as collateral — not a trade.

Volatility is the birth pain of a new monetary rail.
The hedge shows up in phase 2.

@TheBTCTherapist @GrantCardone @saylor He’s not uninformed, though. He is just deriving the wrong conclusion.
