There is a classic assertion worth reconsidering: gold and silver are not inherently currencies, but currencies are naturally associated with gold and silver. This reflects the intrinsic property of precious metals as stores of value.

Looking at the current phenomenon—fiat currency continues to be issued excessively, and printing presses are running at full capacity. But do all these released liquidity really flow into Bitcoin? The answer may not be that simple.

Statistical data shows that the main flow of fiat currency increase goes into traditional asset allocations such as real estate, stocks, and bonds. Although funds entering the crypto market are growing, their proportion is far below expectations. Most retail investors remain cautious and observant, while institutional investors have some allocations but on a limited scale. The excess issuance of fiat currency often flows into the most liquid and least risky assets, rather than the more volatile Bitcoin.

This also explains why, even as central banks continue to inject liquidity, the prices of crypto assets still undergo deep adjustments.

That's really heartbreaking. Retail investors are still buying the dip, but the money has already flowed into the real estate market.

In simple terms, money flows to safe places. Who wants to take risks? --- The excess money has all been absorbed by real estate. No wonder the crypto world is still struggling. --- Ultimately, liquidity will return to Bitcoin; it's just a matter of time. --- The conclusion about precious metals is correct, but now Bitcoin is the digital gold. I really don't understand why there's still hesitation. --- The phrase "limited institutional allocation scale" hits hard. It seems retail investors still have to endure. --- Central bank liquidity injections are not directly related to crypto prices. This should have been recognized long ago. --- Real estate and stock markets have drained the main incremental funds. No wonder crypto is still bouncing at the bottom. --- Actually, this means that without underlying liquidity support, prices will inevitably adjust. The logic is sound. --- When traditional asset bubbles burst, funds will naturally flow into the crypto space. --- A typical "expectation vs. reality" scenario. We all overestimated the speed at which excess liquidity would flow into the crypto market.

Printing presses roaring but can't save the coin price, how ironic --- The phenomenon of funds flowing into real estate should have been clarified long ago --- So retail investors are still waiting? Waiting for what, liquidity simply hasn't arrived --- The conclusion is indeed classic, but reality is even more painful... --- Limited institutional allocation scale? Then we really need to wake up --- Bitcoin has indeed been slapped in the face this time, expectations and reality are too far apart --- The excess issuance has gone into real estate, no wonder the crypto circle is so quiet --- Wait, think about this logic the other way around—maybe this is a bottom signal? --- The central bank's liquidity injection but no inflow, what does that indicate... --- I like the part about the natural attributes of precious metals, but what about Bitcoin?

Selling houses is the real printing press. Where does Bitcoin dare to compare with housing prices?

Nap warning... Money has been drained again by real estate, and we're still waiting for water here.

Basically, no money has flowed into the crypto world. Real estate and the stock market are the true recipients of money printing, and it's hard for us to even get a sip. The story of Bitcoin has been told for so many years, but retail investors are still timid, and institutions dare not really bet. So it's not surprising that the price gets hammered again; there isn't that much hot money. On the other hand, those arguments that say oversupply can lift the coin... wake up, everyone. The logic of capital always flows to the place with the strongest certainty; the risk in crypto is too high. The old theories of precious metals don't apply to the crypto world; these days, liquidity > all stories.

Uh... this argument sounds good, but the reality is cruel. Retail investors are still struggling with whether to buy or not, while institutions have already secretly accumulated. Funds are all trapped in real estate, who still has the energy to play with coins?

Honestly, this logic makes sense. The excess money simply can't flow to us. Retail investors are still lying flat in real estate and bonds, how could they rush into Bitcoin? Machine generated from context. Not financial advice.
