Bitcoin, as a representative of crypto assets, has the longest history in the space. However, in terms of volatility and annual growth rate, it’s not as impressive compared to emerging projects. Interestingly, although Bitcoin is hailed as digital gold, the number of people actually holding it might be less than imagined.

Especially among high-net-worth individuals—older investors over 50 with substantial asset accumulation—the actual proportion of Bitcoin they hold is worth pondering. Whether domestically or internationally, it seems that people in this age group who own crypto assets are always a minority.

Another interesting phenomenon is the recent surge in precious metals. Some attribute this to resource competition before the large-scale mass production of AI and robots. At first glance, this logic seems plausible, but upon deeper reflection, is the main driver of this metals rally really the future demand from the robotics industry? Or are there other economic cycle factors at play? This question warrants further consideration. Between market phenomena and surface explanations, there are often more complex supply and demand dynamics at work.

Bro, the term "digital gold" has become so overused that it's worn out, and in the end, it's still retail investors holding the bag. As for the recent surge in precious metals, the robot's usual spiel sounds just like a script to harvest retail investors, first hyping the concept and then dumping the market. There are really only a few big players over 50 who are involved in cryptocurrencies, which shows... smart people are just watching and waiting. Supply and demand game? Surface-level logic can never fool the wallet; it all depends on who is dumping the market.

The older generation of wealthy people simply don't dare to touch cryptocurrencies. Frankly, they just don't understand or trust them. Precious metals are soaring so rapidly; it's really not driven by robot demand. There might be other risks brewing. Digital gold sounds impressive, but in reality, it's retail investors gambling with their holdings. Bitcoin is slow and steady; new projects are more exciting, but that's also why it has lasted so long. Relying on robots is too far-fetched; it's just a story to scam retail investors.

Bro, you're right. Digital gold sounds impressive, but not many bosses actually hold this stuff. Resource competition before large-scale mass production of robots? That logic sounds so far-fetched to me... Honestly, the wealthy people around me are more focused on traditional assets. Bitcoin is actually just a side note. Regarding the recent surge in precious metals, I tend to think there's another story behind it. Have your elders in the family ever invested in Bitcoin? I bet 90% haven't. The AI robot explanation is just for show; the real driving force was probably set up in the corner long ago. It's pretty heartbreaking. We're studying supply and demand games here, but they've already laid out their plans. But then again, that's probably why retail investors can never catch up.
