Gold and Bitcoin both reached record prices this week, showing that investors are looking for safe places to protect their money as regular currencies lose value. Even people who usually only invest in gold are noticing Bitcoin as “digital gold”.
Paul Karger, Twin Focus co-founder, said, “The bitcoin trade is too large to ignore. Everybody that's been calling bunk on bitcoin the last decade has been proven wrong", as stated in the report by Yahoo Finance.
He suggested changing the old 60/40 investment strategy (60% stocks, 40% bonds) by moving away from long-term bonds. He recommended investing in short-term debt, real estate, digital assets, gold, and other commodities like copper and AI infrastructure.
For people buying physical gold, Karger recommended coins instead of bars, because coins are easier to sell. But both should be stored safely. Gold futures have gone up in 9 of the last 10 trading days, reaching new all-time highs for 10 straight days. This has caused gold to rise about 55% this year.
Gold hit over $4,060 an ounce because investors want a safe place to protect money as currencies lose value.
