## Resource

Gold and silver suffer a sharp reversal after huge gains, sparking a broader discussion on why short-term divergences don’t invalidate Bitcoin’s long-term store-of-value thesis. The hosts dig into Fed leadership changes, Powell’s credibility claims, and policy battles around stablecoins and retirement access—plus a dose of “healthy hopium” on Bitcoin’s upside.
