Last night, gold and silver experienced one of the most brutal crashes in history, with silver's daily drop even approaching 30%! Many are asking: how did the so-called safe-haven asset suddenly collapse?

In fact, this precisely validates our previous viewpoint: what is valuable is not currency, but scarcity, yet the 'scarcity attributes' of different assets are undergoing dramatic differentiation.

The recent plunge in gold and silver appears to be influenced by the Fed's hawkish expectations and a strong dollar, but the deeper reason lies in the 'crowded trade' aftermath. When everyone is betting on a surge in gold and silver, a slight shift in sentiment leads to indiscriminate selling of the most liquid gold and silver as a 'cash machine' to cover margins for other assets.

In contrast, Bitcoin, although also volatile, shows strong resilience. Why?

Because the narrative around Bitcoin has evolved from 'risk asset' to 'digital scarce standard'. Continuous purchasing power from institutions like Tether, combined with Bitcoin's decentralized nature and hard supply cap, makes it a safe haven with the most solid consensus when physical assets encounter liquidity crises.

Although silver has a strong industrial demand due to photovoltaics, AI, and Musk's robots, it still carries heavy physical leverage and regulatory pressure. Bitcoin, as a purely digital scarce asset, is absorbing the 'smart money' escaping from the traditional credit system.

Remember: during the collapse of the old order, all assets will undergo a baptism. The crash of gold and silver is a bubble popping, while Bitcoin's resistance to decline is the rise of a new consensus.
