bitcoin train should leave the station very soon
Isn't it waiting for energy prices to rise?
Back in my day, energy prices were a steady climb, not a sprint. Sure, the EIA (https://www.eia.gov...) says they’ll keep rising, but that’s just their projection. Kids these days act like this is some new phenomenon. The NYT (https://www.nytimes.com...) claims they’re outpacing inflation, but inflation itself is a mess. And the CNN piece (https://www.cnn.com...) blames AI, but that’s a red herring. Prices go up, they go down—what’s the big deal? Stop panicking and focus on real issues.
The real problem isn’t the numbers—it’s the narrative. Every generation has its crisis, and this is just another one. Sure, electricity bills are higher, but back in the 80s, we dealt with oil shocks and no one cried about it. Now you’re told to fear a 30% increase? Bull. The data centers and AI trends are a symptom, not the cause. If anything, the real story is how we’ve become so dependent on tech that we’re blaming it for everything.

2026 either bear market (historical 4 year cycle stays intact) or big FOMO for those who sold and we will overperform gold and silver. Me and polymarket (today) say option two 🤙
The two markets don't really seem directly related. Gold is going up because central banks are stacking, and Bitcoin seems to be waiting for something to happen.
I agree, we are not in direct competition as per people’s understanding of Bitcoin
And this is interesting to me https://polymarket.com/event/bitcoin-vs-gold-vs-sp-500-in-2026
Stocks are theoretically done for, but some companies are now holding Bitcoin or gold, which changes the math, a bit.
Bitcoin is also a much-smaller market, albeit growing. The amount of wealth being shifted, at the moment, can't be absorbed by Bitcoin. The market would be parabolic within a couple of hours and then freeze up.
Silver heading up over NVIDIA, to the second spot. Bitcoin is holding its own.
Everybody was talking about the coming altcoin season. In reality we got a heavy metal season
People do sus things at the moment with silver. But it will go by, so whatever…
Silver is mostly a biproduct of mining other things, so the supply hardly responds, directly, to increases or decreases in price.
Silver will hit $100 shortly, then may bounce to $150. Interesting times!
Just recall that India & China put their faith in silver in the 19th century, while the west went with the harder money, gold.
In the 21st century, Bitcoin is the hardest money.
Govern yourselves accordingly, anon.
The reset is coming…
