Saturday Rant…Gold Vs Bitcoin Recap

On December 31^st 2024 we ran a story about Gold in 2025 and called it Gold Vs Bitcoin.

And so far, in 2025 the numbers are as follows:

 

• Gold is up over 55%
• Bitcoin is up 14%

 

Big difference…HUGE!

But what’s interesting to note is how numerous individual gold mining stocks are up over 100% in 2025 (with several gold and silver mutual funds up over 100%) while Bitcoin ETFs are up a measly 11%.

 

 

 

 

So, for all the haters out there we will repeat that without a doubt Gold and Bitcoin will continue to make headlines this AND next year

And the controversy over which one you should own will intensify.

 

Why do we say this?

Because one of our favorite ranters (Scoob Martin) chimed in last year with some interesting facts about gold/Bitcoin that you need to take into consideration once again.

 

Here’s what he said…

Hi James…In My Humble Opinion (IMHO)

Bitcoin is a gamble.

Nothing More.

Let me explain…

First, and foremost, you are “gambling” on it being “there” when you need it.

But at any given time (and at “Their Discretion”) Uncle Sugar will just TELL the network providers to block all the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) traffic the exchanges run on.

The TCP includes ALL known ports, all defined ports, and all reserved by RFC “Request For Comments.”

 

And, That’s it…You have no more access.

Oh, you think you got sneaky with a VPN? (Virtual Private Network)

LOL!

They want you to think your VPN is YOUR IPSEC infrastructure.

And that your IPSEC is a set of communication rules or protocols for setting up secure connections over a network.

LMAO!

The Deep Pocket inspection Boyz already know what you are up to.

 And at “Their Discretion” your port will be closed.

 

And for those “Clever Dual Citizens” who leave the country to lay claim on your crypto, here is a question:

Which central bank is going to allow you to deposit it?

And there are those who claim:  “But! But! my hardware wallet…”

 

Shut up and good luck with that.

Because you are riding along US sanctioned and REGULATED TELCO lines.

And they are far more loyal to their shareholders and Uncle Sugar than you.

Bitcoin is not an investment.

If anything, use your BTC (and do it soon) to by gold and silver and get out while you can…especially if gold falls back below $2,000 an ounce. *

Thanks, Scooby.

And your rant makes even more sense than it did when you originally ranted about it back in 2023…when gold was trading around $2,150 per ounce.

 (* Note: Today we would exchange the $2,000 with $4,000 an ounce.)

 

One final note…most Bitcoin investors are clueless when it comes to understanding how quickly their “Bitcoins” can magically disappear.

 

And that’s another reason why we like to own (and hold) physical gold…especially looking ahead in 2026.

 

 

 

Don’t miss out on what looks like one of the biggest gold runs in history in our upcoming November issue of “Simplifying Wall Street…In Plain English” (HERE).

 

Share this with a friend…especially if they are thinking of getting into Bitcoin as opposed to gold.  They’ll thank YOU later.

 

And tell them:
