The precious metals market has been on a fierce rally lately. Gold has broken through $4600 per ounce, and silver has also risen above $85 per ounce—both hitting new highs. Speaking of which, we recommended a strategic allocation at around $2200 for gold and $50 for silver over half a year ago, and now the gains have more than doubled. From the perspective of safe-haven assets, the global liquidity abundance and ongoing geopolitical fluctuations are indeed driving up the demand for precious metals. Many institutional investors are also re-evaluating the proportion of traditional assets in their portfolios. Behind this rally, it still reflects the market's pricing of long-term uncertainties.

Oh no, I wish I had gone all in earlier. Now watching the increase directly double, I regret not acting sooner. This wave is indeed an uncertainty premium, as soon as the geopolitical situation intensifies, everyone rushes into safe-haven assets. I'm convinced that gold breaking 4600 is justified, but I'm worried about a sudden plunge later, which would be another round of cut-loss shows. It seems like institutions are quietly positioning themselves. By the time retail investors react, it might be too late. Let's just leave it at that. But honestly, with such abundant liquidity, if you're not holding some real gold and silver, you're just betting on the central bank's policies. This round of gains has been too rapid. I feel like something is brewing. Let's just wait and see.

Did it double? I've already gone all-in, buddy... --- Six months ago, I heard you guys praising gold, but I still haven't bought in yet. Fine, I guess I lost. --- This is the power of traditional assets—more reliable than some cryptocurrencies. --- When geopolitical tensions flare up, gold prices skyrocket. Basically, it's a signal for the wealthy to buy the dip. --- Is it really 4600? My mom asked why I haven't bought yet. I said I don't have the money, and she sighed. --- Uncertainty pricing is a thing. Anyway, I can't tell when this market will top out. --- Is silver at 85 real? I remember it was only a few dollars last year. --- Institutions are re-evaluating their portfolios, while retail investors are still bottom-fishing. The story is cliché but effective.

ngl the timing on this is wild... but here's the thing - precious metals are basically just an on-chain hedge mechanism without the smart contract layer. same game theory principles apply tho, just slower settlement times lmao

Gold has doubled... Why didn't I get in earlier half a year ago? Now chasing the high feels a bit risky. With such chaotic geopolitical situations, no wonder institutions are stockpiling safe-haven assets, but it seems precious metals aren't necessarily safe either. Is buying gold now already being the sucker... But looking at the performance of other cryptocurrencies, the returns from precious metals are indeed a bit rare, better than my shitcoins. Missed out on this doubling rally, damn it.

Doubling gold is truly exciting, but unfortunately I didn't get in 😅
