Here's an interesting perspective on global asset markets: two of the world's four largest asset classes are precious metals—gold and silver. Yet most people still dismiss crypto as mere speculative tokens. The narrative potential here is massive. If we're comparing a $12+ trillion metals market to emerging digital assets, the story writes itself: crypto as digital scarcity with actual utility. Whether you call them shiny rocks or sound money, the traditional store-of-value thesis has dominated for millennia. Now we're watching a parallel narrative unfold in the digital realm. Eight figures of narrative value, easily.

ngl Can gold and silver be eaten? The true king bomb is the scarcity of numbers. Wake up, everyone.

Honestly, this comparison is interesting. Gold and silver have been around for tens of thousands of years, and humans are still hoarding them. Why shouldn't digital assets be acceptable? Narrative, to put it simply, is about consensus. Now that so many institutions worldwide are entering the market, it's about time perceptions change.

Haha, 12 trillion shining vs. digital scarcity—this comparison is truly outstanding. Bear just calculated that, based on narrative value, this wave of narrative multiplier can reach into the eight figures, but the key point is—most people are still viewing this through the asset allocation framework from decades ago.

Gold and silver account for the top four asset classes globally, but the crypto world is considered a joke... this comparison is indeed remarkable.

Well, gold and silver have been around for thousands of years. Now digital scarcity has arrived as well, it's that simple.

ngl the $12T comparison is doing heavy lifting here. run the correlation coefficient between gold volatility and btc—they're moving in completely different regimes. narrative ≠ market efficiency.
