Can Bitcoin Be a Safe Haven?

💡 Protect your wealth outside the financial system, buy and store physical gold and silver safely with Hard Assets Alliance: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH

Gold and Bitcoin are both near record highs, but which is the stronger hedge in today’s fragile financial system? In this Wealthion exclusive, the channel’s executive producer, Mario Rodriguez, speaks with gold veteran Trey Reik and GoldSilver host Alan Hibbard to explore the similarities and differences between these two alternative assets.

They discuss why central banks are stockpiling gold, whether Bitcoin can truly become a safe haven, and how both protect against money printing and the ubiquitous “everything bubble.” The guests also debate government overreach, the lessons from FDR’s gold confiscation, and whether the next monetary system will be anchored by gold, Bitcoin, or both.
