If gold is headed to $5,000, per Goldman’s scenario, it signals panic as faith in central banks collapses and political gamesmanship infects monetary policy.

Austrian economics reads this as the blow off phase of fiat: the last gasp before regime change. In plain terms, if gold rockets on Fed decay, Bitcoin isn’t just the alternative, it’s the destination for capital fleeing systemic failure.

As gold hits escape velocity, Bitcoin becomes the smart money’s home, beyond politics, beyond revised stats, beyond manipulation.
