Look, I get it. You saw Bitcoin surge. You heard the stories of overnight millionaires. For a brief moment, it felt like finance’s future would indeed be digital and decentralized. Even skeptics imagined that it would make gold itself superfluous, consigning it to the dustbin of history. And yes, back when countries were devaluing currencies right and left, I get why Bitcoin looked like a good answer. From November 2022 through November 2024, Bitcoin and gold both experienced impressive returns. But let's be honest with ourselves: that was then, this is now. The game has changed. And if you're still clinging to the idea of Bitcoin as a safe haven, you're playing a dangerous game.

The numbers don't lie. Fast forward to the end of March 2025 and gold is actually up 16% while Bitcoin has lost over 6%. That’s not a rounding error, that’s convergence in the other direction. That’s an unmistakable sign that the tides have turned. While some might call it a correction, I see something far more fundamental: a return to sanity.

Let's face it: the wild west days of cryptocurrency are numbered. Governments at the federal and state level worldwide are recognizing the promise, but the potential dangers, and beginning to enforce regulation. What we’re witnessing is even more regulatory scrutiny, potential for outright bans, and a general chilling effect on the market.

Think about it like this: imagine building a house on shifting sands. That's Bitcoin right now. Each new rule is a surf that risks cutting through the bedrock. Gold, by contrast, is akin to constructing your fortress atop a mountain of diamond-encrusted granite. It’s proven, it’s permanent, and it’s protected from the caprice of elected officials and bureaucrats. This regulatory uncertainty creates anxiety and fear.

Bitcoin’s carbon footprint is a climate time bomb. The environmental toll from the energy-intensive process of mining Bitcoin is growing more controversial and unsustainable. Governments are facing unprecedented pressure to take meaningful action on climate change, and Bitcoin is an attractive scapegoat.

Picture this—society is against you owning Bitcoin. The public views these practices as morally reprehensible, similar to stock ownership in a coal mine. The ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) movement continues to grow in stature and Bitcoin’s reputation as an environmental pariah continues to spread.

This isn’t being tree-hugging, this is being investment-risky. Big institutional investors, like pension funds, are coming under increasing pressure to divest from environmentally harmful assets. Take a guess as to where you think that money is going. Hint: it rhymes with "bold."

Gold is tangible. Gold is real. You can hold it in your hand. You can throw it out in your backyard (not that I’m suggesting you do that!). Bitcoin is just a string of code. For now, it only exists in the virtual world. This puts it at risk from hackers, power outages, and the fact that you literally own nothing tangible.

This is the big one, folks. Central banks are stockpiling gold. They are not driven by a desire to restore the past. Rather, they consider gold to be a strategic asset that provides a hedge against economic uncertainty and contributes to the diversification of their reserves.

Let that sink in. And the institutions that control the emerging global financial system are making huge, record bets on gold. They're not buying Bitcoin. They're not dabbling in Dogecoin. They're sticking with the tried and true.

Central banks are, in a way, the ultimate "influencers." Right now, their actions speak louder than any tweet or TikTok video. They're sending a clear message: Gold is the ultimate safe haven.

For the past several years, you’ve been getting hit over the head with FOMO— fear of missing out — messages about Bitcoin. Quick recap of the last two episodes … Now, it’s time to turn the tables. The only thing we should be scared of is the “fear of being left holding the bag” once this Bitcoin bubble bursts.

Gold isn’t just an investment. It's insurance. It's protection against the unknown. It's a tangible asset that has held its value for centuries, a symbol of stability in a world of chaos.

  • Strategic diversification: Reducing reliance on any single currency.
  • Inflation hedge: Protecting against the erosion of purchasing power.
  • Crisis buffer: Providing stability during economic turmoil.

Are you prepared to gamble your long-term financial welfare with an unpredictable, speculative commodity? Or would you prefer to rest easier at night as a result of knowing your riches are secure with the timeless strength of gold?

The FOMO Flip: From Bitcoin to Gold

For years, you've been bombarded with messages about the "fear of missing out" on Bitcoin. But now, it's time to flip the script. The real fear should be the "fear of being left holding the bag" when the Bitcoin bubble finally bursts.

Gold isn’t just an investment; it’s insurance. It's protection against the unknown. It's a tangible asset that has held its value for centuries, a symbol of stability in a world of chaos.

Are you willing to risk your financial future on a volatile, unregulated asset? Or would you rather sleep soundly knowing that your wealth is protected by the enduring power of gold?

I know which choice I'm making.
