Summary

Anthony Pompliano explains why Bitcoin is lagging while gold, silver, copper, and platinum have surged. He attributes the metals rally to central-bank buying, de-dollarization, industrial demand, and tight supply, while Bitcoin faces a changed Wall Street market structure, less need for chaos/inflation hedges, and competition from AI and gambling. He remains long-term bullish on Bitcoin, arguing that lagging assets can catch up and that lower prices improve the opportunity. He also highlights AI as a major magnet for capital and attention.

  • Gold, silver, copper, and platinum have rallied sharply over the past year.
  • Pomp attributes metals strength to central-bank demand, de-dollarization, industrial demand, and low supply.
  • Bitcoin is down over the same period despite long-term bullishness.
  • Wall Street adoption has made Bitcoin easier to short and structurally less volatile.
  • Global stability and disinflation have reduced the urgency for chaos and inflation hedges.
  • AI, prediction markets, and sports betting are competing for speculative capital.
  • Pomp remains long-term bullish on Bitcoin and favors patience or dollar-cost averaging.
  • He sees AI as the shiny new tool attracting capital and talent.
Ideas

Metals rotation and mania continue higher.
There is a rotation through metals: gold ran first, then silver, and now copper and platinum. Pomp calls it a metals mania that is not stopping; ongoing EV, electrical infrastructure, and renewable buildout should keep industrial demand for silver, copper, and platinum strong, likely leading to higher prices over time.

AI is shiny new capital magnet.
Artificial intelligence is the shiny new tool in markets, drawing young people's attention, capital, and career focus. They would rather buy AI stocks like Nvidia and Meta, which are going up fast, or build AI companies than buy Bitcoin or build Bitcoin companies, so AI remains a powerful magnet for speculative and entrepreneurial capital.

Bitcoin long-term thesis intact; accumulate lower.
Bitcoin is lagging because Wall Street adoption changed market structure, OGs are selling/handing off, global stability and disinflation reduce the chaos/inflation-hedge bid, and AI/prediction markets/sports betting compete for speculative capital. But the long-term narrative is unchanged, and Bitcoin is more attractive at $87K than at $126K; investors should dollar-cost average and be patient because lagging assets tend to catch up.
