The Pomp Podcast
Bitcoin, Gold & Energy: The Next Massive Wealth Shift | Larry McDonald

So that's what we did because we were massively long gold and silver.

The Pomp Podcast
Bitcoin, Gold & Energy: The Next Massive Wealth Shift | Larry McDonald

And then also the Brent, gold to Brent ratio, right?

The Pomp Podcast
Bitcoin, Gold & Energy: The Next Massive Wealth Shift | Larry McDonald

That reached

literally two standard deviations above the COVID level.

The Pomp Podcast

So now think about how low Brent was, right?

The Pomp Podcast
Bitcoin, Gold & Energy: The Next Massive Wealth Shift | Larry McDonald

Brent was destroyed.

And so gold was, this ratio of gold versus Brent, like two months ago, reached, I mean, parabolic, crazy, insane level.

The Pomp Podcast

Now it's crashed back down.

The Pomp Podcast
Bitcoin, Gold & Energy: The Next Massive Wealth Shift | Larry McDonald

Because Brent's up and gold's down.

So yeah, we look for those types of relationships.

And then at the end of the day, Bitcoin has become, I think the fact that the biggest point is the fact that it made its way into the ETF model and it made its way into a more broad, like the fact that Jamie Dimon was kind of... Jamie and Larry Fink five years ago were kind of like...

And now, Jamie still hasn't embraced it vocally, but he's embraced it within the bank.

And we know Blackstone, BlackRock, excuse me, with Larry Fink has embraced it.

So that tells me that those large drawdowns that we saw, those 370% drawdowns in Bitcoin,

The Pomp Podcast

because there's only like 30 families that control a huge, you should know these numbers, but supposedly there's 30 families control 60% of the flow.

The Pomp Podcast
Bitcoin, Gold & Energy: The Next Massive Wealth Shift | Larry McDonald

So what happens is the market goes to want to risk off.

The Pomp Podcast
Bitcoin, Gold & Energy: The Next Massive Wealth Shift | Larry McDonald

This is what happens to all these poor young kids, right?

The Pomp Podcast
Bitcoin, Gold & Energy: The Next Massive Wealth Shift | Larry McDonald

They don't get it.

The Pomp Podcast
Bitcoin, Gold & Energy: The Next Massive Wealth Shift | Larry McDonald

Like you're long a high beta asset that moves triple what the market moves on the downside.

That's why you had the 370% drawdowns.
