Dual Anchor Currency Era: Why Only Gold and Bitcoin Will Survive in the End

I increasingly feel that we are heading towards a strange yet inevitable future. The world is forming two distinctly different trust systems: one based on 'material', gold; the other supported by 'algorithms', Bitcoin.

China continues to increase its gold reserves, this action seems more like preparing a defense in advance. Gold does not depend on any country, nor does it require third-party guarantees; its value comes from the accumulation of time and the common trust of humanity. Meanwhile, the United States is promoting the institutionalization of cryptocurrencies, with frequent interactions between capital and regulatory bodies, and financial giants are all making plans. They are trying to make digital currency the core tool of the new financial system, using new rules to consolidate dominance.

When one country hoards physical assets and another builds computational power infrastructure, the world's monetary order has begun to loosen. The dollar once represented global credit, but now with rising debts, excessive currency issuance, and diminishing trust, the system itself is beginning to show signs of fatigue.

The currency of the future may be underground or in the cloud. Gold remains the most solid store of value in the real world, while Bitcoin is gradually gaining a similar status in the digital realm. One embodies stability and tradition, while the other symbolizes openness and innovation.

I often think that gold connects to the civilizations of the past, while Bitcoin leads to the order of the future. As the credit system of the dollar gradually collapses, humanity is searching for a new anchor point of 'trust'; these two assets may become new pivot points.

This transformation is not a distant fantasy, but a migration that is quietly happening. We are moving from national credit to consensus credit, from printing presses to computational power and time. Yet most people have not realized that they are already standing at the historical watershed.

Why shouldn't you tell others about your cryptocurrency trading?

Because

Not every frog has to live in the sea
Respect every frog and its well

The next few years are likely to enter a 'precious metals & BTC era,' where people will once again favor 'physical' gold and silver, all precious metals and $BTC , rather than holding paper currency alone.

Continue holding gold firmly, the long-term logic remains unchanged, aiming for mid-2027 with a target price of $7,200.

Happy New Year 2026 Wishing you prosperity

If a person can consistently make eight figures or more from cryptocurrency trading, then entering other industries would usually be a case of overwhelming advantage.

Because the crypto market is a high-uncertainty, zero-tolerance, real-money immediate settlement environment. Being able to consistently earn eight figures in such an environment indicates that the person has already surpassed average levels in judgment, risk control, and emotional management. These skills, when applied to most other industries, usually perform even better.

As of early 2026, the latest financial report data shows that
Berkshire Hathaway, led by Buffett, has reached a historic high in cash reserves.

Core cash position data:
Total cash reserves: As of the end of Q3 2025, Berkshire held cash and equivalents totaling $381.7 billion.

Net amount explanation: After deducting the payable U.S. Treasury bonds for the current quarter that have been executed but not yet settled (approximately $23.2 billion), the actual usable cash net amount is approximately $358.4 billion.
Asset proportion: Cash assets account for about 31.1% of Berkshire's total asset scale, setting a new historical record.

Why does Buffett keep so much cash on hand?

Recently, the prices of memory and related hardware have continued to rise, reflecting the long-term trend of increasing computing power demand and data scale expansion. Against this backdrop, I began to systematically pay attention to the decentralized storage track, and based on my judgment of the future growth in data storage demand and rising costs, I moderately allocated storage concept tokens $AR

The Six 'Hurdles' to Financial Freedom

First Hurdle - Save 20,000, do not change phones
Second Hurdle - Save 100,000, do not change cars
Third Hurdle - Save 300,000, do not invest recklessly
Fourth Hurdle - Save 1,000,000, do not lend money to others
Fifth Hurdle - Save 10,000,000, do not mess around
Sixth Hurdle - Save over 30,000,000, do not show off wealth

When savings reach 1,000,000 to 5,000,000, it is the stage where rationality is at its lowest and impulse is easiest to arise, leading to: impulsive spending, reckless investing, buying houses, buying cars, starting a business, easily swayed by others.

Why is it that every time I resolve to change, I end up just slacking off?

Any change that is too drastic or attempts to be completed all at once will directly trigger the psychological system's stress response and defense mechanisms.

When the original rhythm of life, behavior patterns, and self-awareness are simultaneously overturned, the brain will classify this change as a high-risk state, thus automatically generating resistance behaviors, including procrastination, avoidance, emotional fluctuations, and decreased motivation.

In this situation, short-term high-intensity input does not signify genuine progress; it is a forced advancement at the cost of significant psychological resource consumption.

The results typically fall into two stages:
The first stage is barely maintaining

The second stage is the depletion of psychological resources, leading to burnout, followed by a denial of the change itself, entering a state of long-term stagnation or even total abandonment.

This is not due to personal willpower weakness, but because this method of change violates the basic operational principles of the psychological system:

The system prioritizes maintaining stability, only allowing adjustments afterward.
True sustainable change is not reliant on a one-time high-intensity resolution, but is achieved through low-pressure, repeatable, and risk-controllable minor adjustments.

When each adjustment is not sufficient to threaten the system's stability, psychological defenses will not be activated, allowing new behaviors to be retained and ultimately forming a new stable state.

Be wary of those who only display money, aura, and position.

Because truly capable people do not need to repeatedly prove what position they stand in, but rather show you what problems they can solve.

If a person only displays money, aura, and position, I would choose to keep my distance.

I care more about whether the professionalism is rigorous, whether the judgment is decisive, whether there is a pattern, awareness, and sense of responsibility, and whether there is great love in the heart, willing to pay the price for important matters.

The people I love, or the friends I choose to be close to, need to share this value framework with me. And I myself must also grow into such a person.

First release on the entire network: The truth behind the rise of precious metals: As gold rises, alternatives increase

When gold rises too quickly, the party holding the settlement rights does not welcome excessive concentration of funds.

Once funds are overly concentrated in gold, it means their control over the flow is decreasing.

Therefore, at critical stages, the market will begin to emphasize "alternative choices":
Silver catching up, precious metals rotating, and industrial metals being more resilient.

These statements are not fabricated, but their effect is very clear: they disperse the funds that were originally supposed to flow into gold to places with weaker consensus.

When systemic risk rises, the settlement layer is not concerned about how much you earn, but rather not letting too many people stand at the same "finish line" at the same time.

History repeatedly proves one thing:
When everyone starts to focus on gold, what you are reminded to look at is often not something safer.

So please take good care of your gold, and don't touch anything else!

If you really take responsibility for yourself, you wouldn't wait until everyone tells you to buy silver and the news media is overwhelmingly reporting on silver before you enter the market.

The first principle of family is economy, not emotion.

The first principle of the workplace is value, not effort.

The first principle of education is cultivating ability, not scores.

The first principle of entrepreneurship is market demand, not personal preference.

The first principle of growth is reflection, not experience.

The first principle of love is selection, not stubbornness.

The first principle of socializing is quality, not quantity.

The first principle of communication is understanding, not persuasion.

The first principle of interpersonal relationships is mutual benefit, not pleasing others.

The first principle of learning is practice, not memorization.

When precious metals decline in the future, the drop in silver may be greater than that of gold, as silver is more volatile and has industrial properties. When the market weakens, it usually drops more sharply than gold, which is more of a safe-haven asset.

Be cautious of the risks when chasing high silver prices.
