In an era of currency devaluation, can gold and Bitcoin become new safe-haven assets?

Gold has already increased by over 60% this year, yet central banks around the world have not stopped. Despite gold prices reaching new highs repeatedly, they have instead increased their purchases, accumulating over 600 tons. This is not a coincidence—global central banks are collectively cutting interest rates, national fiscal deficits are expanding, and M2 money supply has hit a record high. All these signals point in the same direction: the traditional currency system is under pressure.

Interestingly, historically, gold tends to lead Bitcoin by three to four months. Currently, currency devaluation has become a high-probability event, expected to become a focal point around 2026. By then, whether it is traditional safe-haven assets like gold or digital assets like Bitcoin, a large influx of safe-haven funds may occur. The allocation value of both warrants a re-examination by market participants.

Gold has risen 60%, and the central bank is still stockpiling? This pace is a bit outrageous; it seems traditional finance is really panicking.

The central bank is buying gold aggressively; it means we should always assume the worst in any situation...

The central bank is frantically stacking gold, what does that mean... it just shows that they are panicking themselves.

Central banks are all hoarding gold wildly; this signal couldn't be more obvious. Money is really becoming more and more worthless.

The central bank is frantically buying gold, this signal can't be wrong. Gold has been leading Bitcoin by several months? Then I need to accelerate my entry. It's 2026 again, can this time not be a no-show? Dual-asset allocation, betting that the traditional system is really going to have problems. M2 hitting a new high, but I still haven't felt my money turning into fluff; daily expenses are already painful. Paper money is really becoming less and less valuable, no wonder institutions are hoarding gold. Can Bitcoin follow the gold price this time? It doesn't seem that simple. The fiscal deficit is exploding; someone has to take the hit, right?

The central bank is increasing its gold holdings, essentially a surrender letter to the traditional monetary system... Will a crisis really erupt in 2026?

Central banks are all stockpiling gold, you already know this signal without me saying it... Around 2026, it will really arrive. Not getting on board now is truly a loss.
