Bitcoin vs. gold: Which is the real king of safety?

You can catch Trader Talk on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts. When markets crack, do you really know which asset has your back? This Trader Talk segment breaks down the battle between old-world gold and digital upstart bitcoin, comparing their roles as inflation hedges, volatility shock absorbers, and long-term stores of value. You’ll hear why gold still anchors cautious portfolios, how bitcoin offers asymmetric upside as a bet on the future of money, and why more investors are now blending both. The focus is on building resilient portfolios around balance, not belief, when the next shock hits. Watch more episodes of Trader Talk here.
