Tectonic plates are shifting
People took profit. That's it. There's no rhyme and reason. If you believe in Bitcoin and it's philosophy, you have to believe in Gold too. I get that Gold is not as divisible, easy to transport but it does have the same method of extraction. Spending energy. 🤷🏻‍♂️
I like these kind of moves. We are so back. We are so fucking back. Do your-future-self a favor & Ignore fiat price. Stack sats in cold storage.

Did someone say bubble? 🫧
People knew gold went parabolic. Big money sold first and then people panic sold. Big money bought again at the lows.
No. This was major liquidations, shorts smelled blood, profit being taken, and lots of re-papering. Msft and other tech stocks yesterday caused margin calls, people sold Bitcoin to cover, sold bonds to cover, and sold metals. Silver always drops back down. It's too easy to mine in the long run. AI capex is dropping from the middle caps and down, silver demand dropping back as well. The gold to silver ratio was at a floor it is due, it's a terrible money.
I have no idea. But over the past 150 years, when the gold to silver ratio gets way out of whack, it comes back into alignment. Could this time be different? Of course. Only time will tell.

Priced in which money?
For comparison, Bitcoin's total market capitalization is about $1.6 trillion, roughly one-fourth of that amount. That's like imagining losing ALL of Bitcoin... four times over. 😅

I assume this isn't real gold and silver, but air that was vaporized like IOUs such as ETFs, futures and stuff?
