Let's be real for a second. People are comparing Bitcoin's current $1.8T market cap to a potential $50T valuation for gold—and meanwhile betting Bitcoin will tank from here. Does that math actually check out?

Honestly? Probably not. You'd need gold to hit values we haven't seen before, all while Bitcoin supposedly crumbles. That's a pretty wild narrative to bank on. When you stack up the numbers side by side, it becomes harder to ignore what's actually possible versus what sounds good on paper.

Speaking of which, this logic is indeed flawed. Every day, Bitcoin wants to buy the dip in gold? What’s going on, trying to have both fish and bear’s paw? Never seen 50T gold, yet expecting BTC to crash—who came up with this? Mixing numbers just exposes the flaw; stop bragging. This is a typical Schrödinger’s position.

Haha, laughing to death. Watching gold do well while criticizing Bitcoin—this logic is truly amazing. The nicer way to put it is that it's a bullish dream; the less nice way is that they want to have their cake and eat it too. A valuation of 50T for gold? Wake up, everyone. What kind of worldview does that require? As long as the numbers look right, I don't want to hear about logic. Anyway, it's all a gamble. Sounds like they're just making excuses to cover for certain assets. There are so many contradictory statements like this—just take it as a comedy show.

This logic indeed can't hold up, wanting both gold to soar and BTC to be halved? That's right, these people just want to have it both ways. It's a bit outrageous, the numbers don't add up. The dream on paper versus reality still have a gap. Stop fooling yourself, you should choose a side. This set of arguments indeed can't stand up. A logic that's terrible at math. Wanting both, but also not wanting, a typical gambler's mentality.

Uh... so we're just hoping that gold skyrockets to sky-high prices while Bitcoin crashes at the same time? That logic is really absurd. What are the retail investors thinking? Wait, isn't this just psychological preparation before cutting losses? First, make up a story to comfort yourself. If the numbers don't match, don't force the story. It'll be exposed sooner or later.

Haha, this logic is indeed brilliant. On one hand, they say gold can rise to 50T, while on the other hand, they are bearish on BTC. How confident does that make them? Let's put it this way: either both are bullish on store-of-value assets, or both are bearish. Playing both sides so blatantly is just interesting. Once the numbers are laid out like that, it instantly exposes the truth. Honestly, it's just throwing a tantrum.
