Debasement Endgame: Bitcoin ATHs, Gold Near $4K, & Bonds Bleeding
This episode covers Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs above $125,000 alongside gold approaching $4,000, exploring the growing debasement trade narrative. The hosts discuss how major institutions like Morgan Stanley are now recommending 2-4% Bitcoin allocations as both assets outperform traditional markets amid dollar weakness. They analyze the shift from traditional 2% disaster hedge allocations to 20-25% recommendations as mainstream finance awakens to digital gold concepts.
