Macro investor Mel Mattison returns to explain why gold and silver are surging while Bitcoin consolidates, attributing the divergence to momentum traders chasing precious metals and the collapse of key crypto bull-case narratives like the Clarity Act. Mattison outlines his diversified portfolio thesis anchored in non-USD-denominated assets including emerging market equities, gold, silver, and Bitcoin, arguing that the structural debt problems of developed nations make hard assets essential. The conversation examines how the failure of stablecoin and crypto legislation reflects banking cartel resistance to disintermediation, and why sovereign bond demand collapse will ultimately force Federal Reserve balance sheet expansion. Mattison remains long-term bullish on Bitcoin and believes the rotation from precious metals back into Bitcoin is a matter of when, not if.
