Recently, there has been a strange phenomenon in the market that is worth pondering.
Gold has already increased by +70% in 2025, and silver is even more exaggerated, soaring to +140-150%. These two traditional "safe-haven assets" are playing out vividly under the current inflation and geopolitical risk trading logic. But what about Bitcoin? Its price is around $87,000, and surprisingly, it has fallen by 8% this year. This is not just a comparison but also reveals a huge relative value dislocation.
Many people actually misunderstand what liquidity is. The market is bearish on the Federal Reserve’s new monthly $40 billion reserve management purchase tool (RMP), with reasons sounding very professional—saying that the current credit pulse has been diluted and is nowhere near the scale of 2009. But there is a hidden mathematical misjudgment here. Arthur Hayes has pointed this out— the issue is not the scale of RMP, but that the market has not yet truly realized its essence.
RMP, in simple terms, is just a new guise for quantitative easing. Once the market wakes up and recognizes the true nature of this tool, perceptions will quickly correct. By then, Bitcoin’s performance will be completely different. Logically, Bitcoin is likely to repeatedly test the $80,000 to $100,000 range before the end of the year, then recover the critical $124,000 level in Q1 2026, and subsequently launch a violent surge toward $200,000. This is not wishful thinking but based on liquidity logic and policy cycles.
There is also an overlooked bottom-line logic. The positive effects of Trump’s first year in office have been fully priced in; at this stage, it indeed looks weak. But don’t forget, he still has a full three-year term. More importantly, the Trump family and their business partners have already established deep roots in the crypto space. This means that over the next three years, policy benefits will follow one after another—not by chance, but as part of a systemic direction.
So, returning to the initial question: if you maintain a macro view that "hard currency" will prevail in 2025, your overall direction is actually correct. But the tools you choose are wrong. The bull market in gold and silver reflects traditional safe-haven thinking, but under the dual influence of liquidity and policy cycles, Bitcoin is the asset truly embodying this logic. The relative valuation dislocation will not last forever and will be quickly corrected when the time comes.

Gold and silver are taking off, but the crypto circle is lagging behind. The contrast is truly remarkable... When the market awakens, Bitcoin is probably going to make a sharp rebound.

Gold and silver are rising so sharply, but BTC is actually falling? That logic is indeed a bit twisted...
Wait, RMP is actually just QE with a different name? Then the market waking up will be the real highlight.
The Trump family has been deeply embedded in the crypto world, so their policies over the past three years are definitely favorable. How fierce will the relative value correction be...
80,000 to 100,000 is just the appetizer; the real explosion depends on that wave in Q1.
Gold and silver rising again are just traditional safe havens; Bitcoin is the hard currency of the new era, and this logic holds.
People always overestimate the present and underestimate liquidity. It seems it's time to reflect on your own holdings structure.

Gold and silver surge while BTC instead falls, which is indeed strange... but logically, it's a bit of a stretch.
Wait, RMP is just QE with a different name? Has the market really not realized this yet? It feels like an over-interpretation.
Trump's three-year dividend theory sounds good, but I'm just worried it might turn into the "boy who cried wolf" story.
This number 200,000... I'll trust you for now, and verify later.
It's really just a bet on the policy window period; gold and silver don't have that added boost.
But on the other hand, if this correction really happens, the rebound speed will be quite shocking.
Let's wait and see, don't be too aggressive in catching the dip.

Gold and silver have surged so dramatically, while Bitcoin has actually fallen... This logic is indeed perplexing.
Wait, does this mean BTC is the real "hard currency"? A reverse bet?
The idea that RMP is just QE in disguise is something I need to ponder... Feels like another wave of "the market didn't react" comments.
Three years of Trump's term + family crypto benefits, this logical connection is a bit crazy.
Hitting 124,000 by the end of the year? 200,000? Just listen, don't go all in, everyone.
Is liquidity correction reliable, or is it just another round of story marketing?
Gold up 150%, Bitcoin falling back, this market is unreasonable.
By the way, is Hayes' recent analysis truly insightful or just promoting crypto...

Gold and silver are going crazy, but BTC is actually falling? The market's logic is really mind-boggling... But upon closer thought, the real issue is that liquidity has been misunderstood. RMP is just a renamed version of QE, and sooner or later the market will wake up. By then, BTC will be the correct answer as the hard currency.
