#Strategy加仓BTC 🚨 Is gold really a "store of value"? Well-known investors reveal some hidden issues



The big player in the investment world, Howard Marks, recently criticized gold: it has no cash flow, and its price relies entirely on market speculation. The so-called "myth of being a store of value" is basically a collective hypnosis. Historical records show that every time a financial crisis occurs, gold still drops significantly—how can it be considered a safe haven?

Ironically, central banks are still aggressively accumulating gold. As geopolitical tensions rise, gold has actually increased by 7% this year. It seems that prices are more driven by policy expectations and sentiment rather than actual value. Comparing gold to stocks and bonds, there's simply no reasonable valuation logic.

In contrast, $BTC is a completely different story: with a fixed supply of 21 million coins, fully decentralized, and forming a global liquidity consensus. Institutional investors continue strategic positioning, and emerging assets like $DOGE $SHIB are attracting more market participants. The scarcity encoded in mathematics and code is far more solid than gold mined underground.

After wave after wave of hype, only those that can withstand the test of time are the true answers to wealth preservation. In the digital asset era, logic and consensus are the strongest endorsements. What’s your view?

DOGE5,69%
SHIB2,63%

The excuse about gold should have been debunked long ago; the central bank's hoarding isn't retail investors' money.

Max's recent comments hit the nail on the head. Gold is just an emotional market; central bank gold hoarding still dilutes individual purchasing power.

Gold is just a pretext for cutting leeks; the central bank is playing, and retail investors are following along.

Gold is just a scam; central banks are just the bailout players. It was about time to go all in on BTC.

Gold is indeed a bit overrated; it's not as solid as Bitcoin's mathematical model. Central banks hoarding gold doesn't mean retail investors should follow suit.

Gold? It's about time to dispel this myth. The central bank's hoarding is nothing more than political leverage.

Max is indeed brave to fire this old musket, but isn't that 7% increase in gold also driven by the central bank? At the end of the day, it's all a consensus game. Why is BTC any different?

The rhetoric about gold really needs to be broken, and the central bank hoarding gold is a perfect satire.

Gold is just an emotional market; central banks hoarding it are just political chips. The real hard assets still depend on whether the code can speak.
