Gold is pumping again and suddenly everyone remembers it exists.

The “barbarous relic” magically transforms into a “flight-to-safety asset” every time liquidity gets nervous - the financial equivalent of running back to your ex after another DeFi rug.

They say it’s not a threat to $BTC , just a “macro signal,” which is finance-speak for “we have no idea but it sounds important.”

The spectacle persists: gold bars glow on CNBC, Bitcoin gets a “digital gold” participation trophy, and TradFi sages rediscover that “store of value” means “we’re out of ideas.”

It’s all optics - shiny metal, shiny narratives, shiny cope.
