Bitcoin and Gold: Why Fight It? Own Both
4 min read
The latest CPI report just came in “hotter than expected”—coincidentally a phrase that I’ve read over dozens of times after Wednesday’s report was released. Inflation isn’t going away, and despite all the promises, monetary policy isn’t taming it fast enough. The Federal Reserve is boxed in, balancing credibility with market stability, while tariffs, corporate layoffs, and geopolitical uncertainty continue to reshape the global economy.
Yet, if you listen to the mainstream financial media, you’ll notice a familiar playbook at work:
📢 Doom and fear drive clicks and ratings
📢 Blame shifting keeps the real culprits hidden
📢 Big-money interests always come out on top
Look at the numbers. Inflation without tariffs at its peak was 2.9% in 2024 and 3.4% in 2023. Yet, today, the media conveniently spins the narrative—selectively focusing on policies that fit their agenda, all while keeping you distracted.
The reality? While they push hysteria, a portion of smart money continues to move into assets that thrive in uncertain times—namely, gold and Bitcoin.
Gold: The Time-Tested Hedge Against Government Mismanagement
Gold has been the go-to safe haven for centuries, and it’s proving its value once again. With growing distrust in central banks and rising fiscal irresponsibility, gold prices have ripped over the last year and it is practically days away from hitting $3,000 per ounce. Institutions aren’t waiting—they’re buying.
📌 SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD)
- Current Price: $266.29
- YTD Performance: +10%
- Institutional Flows: Increasing demand
Bitcoin: The Digital Hedge That Won’t Be Ignored
Bitcoin was once dismissed by the same media and financial elites who we know raced to create ETFs around it. Why? Because maybe, like Palantir Technologies, it just won’t fade away. More importantly, Bitcoin’s decentralized nature protects against reckless government spending and currency debasement. ETFs from BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale for example bring unprecedented institutional adoption, and the numbers speak for themselves—despite the recent outflows from ETF.
📌 Bitcoin (BTC)
- Current Price: $97,619
- YTD Performance: +4.46%
-Institutional Interest: Record inflows numbers since inception, despite recent ETF outflows.
The Smart Play: Own Both
Gold provides stability, Bitcoin offers asymmetric upside. Together, they create a diversified hedge against economic uncertainty.
So, what’s the right allocation? Many investors are shifting 5-10% of their portfolios into a mix of gold and Bitcoin—adjusting based on risk tolerance and market conditions.
Final Thought:
It’s always in our best interest to stay ready rather than reactive—to have a plan in place rather than scrambling when things take a turn. Economic uncertainty, policy shifts, and geopolitical tensions aren’t just headlines; they’re signals that require strategic positioning.
Be real—there is nothing “they” won’t do to maintain control, especially as many public servants feel cornered by D.O.G.E. under the new administration. And when people feel cornered, can you expect focus and stability? No. Desperation leads to unpredictable decisions, and history shows us that when institutions feel the pressure, the rules can change overnight.
Go and look at Google’s trend searches—the spikes in queries about statue of limitation, lawyers, economic collapse, layoffs, gold, Bitcoin, and even DOGE tell you everything you need to know. People are sensing the shift, but the question is—are you preparing, or just reacting?
With all this in mind, the strategy remains clear: allocate wisely, hedge against uncertainty, and stay ahead of the next move.
🔹 Take Action: Monitor where money is moving—not just what the media tells you. Consider your exposure to real assets.
