Clausewitz once said: War is the continuation of politics. The September 3rd military parade, as a watershed event in global politics, has profoundly influenced the evolution of the global landscape. The U.S.'s strategic retreat is becoming increasingly evident, and one could even say that Trump's re-election was a direct manifestation of America's collective will to withdraw to the Americas. Whether it's gold or Bitcoin, both have played significant roles in this structural adjustment process. The rise of gold and Bitcoin essentially reflects two sides of the same logic: Gold is a hedging tool for sovereigns and central banks, reflecting doubts about the credibility of the U.S. dollar and the sustainability of America's strategic position. Bitcoin is a hedging tool for private capital, reflecting market demand for decentralized finance and alternative value storage. The rise of gold and Bitcoin is not an isolated market phenomenon but rather an inevitable result of U.S. strategic retreat + global multipolarization: Gold represents hedging at the national level (central banks, sovereign funds), driven top-down (central banks, nations), and belongs to the "official reserves" system. Bitcoin represents hedging at the private capital level (institutions, individuals), driven bottom-up (individuals, institutions), and belongs to the "private assets" system. Once you understand this, you'll realize that before a new international currency emerges, both gold and Bitcoin will temporarily take on the role of global currency. This guarantees their long-term upward trajectory, ensures a slow bull market, and establishes the logic of buying every dip—buying more as prices drop.
