Thank you to our sponsor, Figure! As tensions between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve rise, gold and silver have surged to record highs. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has struggled to keep pace, raising uncomfortable questions about its “digital gold” narrative. In this back-to-back Unchained episode, Vinny Lingham, cofounder of Xash, and Eric Fine, portfolio manager at VanEck, offer two distinct but complementary perspectives on what's happening beneath the surface of global markets.

Eric walks through VanEck's provocative analysis showing gold could reach $39,000 or even $184,000 if the dollar were to lose its reserve-currency dominance and gold had to back the money supply. He also dives into why some developed markets may be more fragile than investors assume.

JP Morgan has quietly flipped its stance on Bitcoin, a move that historically appears near major market turning points. Public skepticism paired with private positioning often signals the final shakeout before a much larger move. At the same time, gold has just doubled for the first time since 1979. In past cycles, gold leads and Bitcoin follows with far greater upside. If that pattern holds, a 10x Bitcoin move into 2026 is not unrealistic. While governments expand powers to freeze accounts and tighten financial controls, institutions like BlackRock and JP Morgan are accumulating Bitcoin and building the infrastructure around it. This video breaks down the data, the timing, and why retail is always pushed out before the real move begins. Watch the signals, not the headlines.
