This is the same individual who publicly promoted crypto-treasury company Strive, Inc. (ASST)<\/strong> to his social-media followers on October 24<\/strong>. Within three days, ASST was ramped to $1.81 per share<\/strong> on an absurd 1.08 billion shares of volume<\/strong>… 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.<\/p>\n\n

On November 17<\/strong>, NIA issued an alert titled, “Gold Explorers Won’t Peak Until Bitcoin Collapses.”<\/strong> In that alert, NIA stated:<\/p>\n\n

\n

“In NIA’s opinion, Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR)<\/strong> and Bitcoin miners like MARA Holdings (MARA)<\/strong> still have 90%+ downside<\/strong> 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<\/strong> the prior mania sector collapses, which is why several of our top gold selections could ultimately peak at levels 1,000%+<\/strong> above today’s prices.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

That process is now unfolding.<\/p>\n\n

The average investor is still trapped in crypto, but something important has changed: they are watching<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n

The Bitcoin\/crypto narrative has not merely weakened… it has been destroyed<\/strong><\/span>. And the capital fleeing that collapse has only one logical destination left: gold<\/span> and silver<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
