Gold and silver are soaring as the dollar continues to weaken into 2026, with gold pushing toward the $4,300-$5,000 range and silver flying into the $70-$100 zone. Bitcoin, meanwhile, is taking a breather in the $85k-$90k area after excessive leverage was washed out in late 2025. Analysts are calling for a strong rebound this year, and a target range of $120k-$150k or higher is very much on the table.
Which inflation hedge do you prefer — traditional precious metals or digital gold like Bitcoin?
I'm firmly in the Bitcoin camp. Here's why:
- Gold and silver are physical assets: They are hard to transport and require trust for verification (remember a certain transaction involving a gold bar). - Bitcoin is instantly verifiable, infinitely divisible, globally portable, and backed by perfect scarcity with its 21 million cap. - Institutional inflows (via ETFs and potential reserves) show no signs of slowing, and 2026 could mark the beginning of the institutional adoption era.
While precious metals may shine in the short term, over the long haul, Bitcoin is poised to dominate. Hold tight.
What do you think — will the gold bugs or Bitcoin maximalists come out on top?
