Claim in brief: BTC (the Bitcoin that won the branding war) functions as a throttled, high-fee, low-throughput base layer that cannot practically serve as everyday money. That design channel—combined with institutional packaging and media narratives—makes BTC an ideal speculative safety valve for anti-fiat sentiment, diverting capital and attention that might otherwise drive a parabolic revaluation in gold and silver. Meanwhile, de-dollarization and BRICS-led initiatives increase the odds of a gold-anchored settlement architecture, with persistent USD/EUR inflation providing the accelerant.
