Crypto Was the Mania. Gold & Silver Are the Aftermath.

Crypto promoter Mike Alfred tweeted yesterday, “YOU WERE WARNED”, while posting a chart of the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) pulling back from its all-time high.

This is the same individual who publicly promoted crypto-treasury company Strive, Inc. (ASST) to his social-media followers on October 24. Within three days, ASST was ramped to $1.81 per share on an absurd 1.08 billion shares of volume… a textbook social-media pump. Since then, the stock has collapsed, leaving the overwhelming majority of his followers sitting on devastating losses. No serious investor could credibly argue ASST was ever a sound investment.

On November 17, NIA issued an alert titled, “Gold Explorers Won’t Peak Until Bitcoin Collapses.” In that alert, NIA stated:

“In NIA’s opinion, Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) and Bitcoin miners like MARA Holdings (MARA) still have 90%+ downside ahead, and the final peak for our gold stock suggestions won’t occur until MSTR and MARA have fully capitulated. Historically, the most explosive gains in gold stocks occur after the prior mania sector collapses, which is why several of our top gold selections could ultimately peak at levels 1,000%+ above today’s prices.”

That process is now unfolding.

The average investor is still trapped in crypto, but something important has changed: they are watching gold and silver exploration stocks surge while their crypto holdings implode. Once this realization fully sets in, most of these investors are unlikely to ever touch crypto again.

The Bitcoin/crypto narrative has not merely weakened… it has been destroyed. And the capital fleeing that collapse has only one logical destination left: gold and silver.
