When metals go vertical, crypto trips on a hurdle.
Silver at $108 and gold at $5,107 while crypto eats dirt — markets have a cruel sense of timing.
I saw this meme and laughed, then checked the prices… and stopped laughing 😱 Silver at $108. Gold at $5,107. The old dinosaurs are sprinting like Olympic athletes, while crypto is face-planting on the track.
This is the part nobody likes to talk about. When fear creeps in, capital doesn’t run to innovation — it runs to tradition. Gold doesn’t need a roadmap, a Discord, or a narrative thread. It just sits there and absorbs panic like a sponge.
And silver? That one’s always late to the party… until it’s not. Then it moves violently, reminding everyone why it’s called the poor man’s gold. Spoiler: it never stays poor for long.
Crypto right now looks clumsy, volatile, emotional. But here’s the thing — these moments happen every cycle. Capital hides first. Then it comes back hunting yield, asymmetry, upside. Toujours pareil.
From my chair by the sea, this feels less like “crypto is dead” and more like a rotation slap in the face. Painful, humbling, temporary. T’inquiète.
Markets don’t move in straight lines. They zigzag to mess with you.
