Ignore Bitcoin Now and You Will Pay for It in 2026
They Lied About Safety and You Still Believe Them
We live surrounded by financial dogmas repeated like gospel. Diversify. Save in bonds. Buy real estate. Trust the system. There’s an entire industry built around these so-called truths.
But what if the whole thing is designed to keep you losing?
They told us holding stocks long term is the safest move. That gold is for preppers and war zones. That Bitcoin is volatile, marginal, speculative. They’ve said it so often we stopped questioning it. Until you look at the data.
Until you see long-duration bond funds bleeding out while central banks quietly restart the money printers. Until you realize home prices aren’t rising like before, but your taxes are. Until you understand that “diversification” has become a recipe for mediocre returns and zero freedom.
Meanwhile, something is brewing in silence. Off the radar. Outside the headlines. An asset with no CEO, no borders, no permissions. That can’t be seized, paused, or printed. It acts like a tech stock, but carries the scarcity of a precious metal. And most importantly, it thrives on one thing: global liquidity.
Because it doesn’t matter if you’re in Madrid, New York, or Shanghai. There’s a new law in markets: when the printer goes brrr, Bitcoin goes up.
And in 2025, that printer isn’t just humming, it’s roaring. Central banks have no exit plan. Global debt is too massive to service without growth. But not growth through productivity. Growth through inflation. Through stimulus. Through perpetual monetary expansion. The “soft landing” is dead. We’ve entered the age of forced acceleration.
This only reinforces what we’ve been saying at Asymmetric Finance for years, that uncorrelated assets aren’t optional, they’re essential. This mindset has put us ahead of every major move in the past cycle.
While others chased correlation, we built resilience. While most investors still worship bonds as sacred cows, we’ve said it over and over: they’re dead weight. Useless in a regime where governments inflate away their liabilities. Bonds won’t save you. They’ll just sedate you.
Many of you will say that bond yields are high right now. But let’s do the math. If you buy long-duration bonds like TLT at 5%, that means you’re locking in your money for the next 20 years just to get your investment back. Because, if you look closely, the yield may fluctuate, but the nominal value doesn’t move. You’re simply getting your capital returned over two decades.
And yet, we haven’t gone all in on anything. Because asymmetric investing is about leverage and liquidity. That’s why 40% to 60% of our portfolio remains in cash or cash-like assets, ready to strike when blood’s in the streets, when prices collapse, when fear takes over.
Being uncorrelated gave us the best returns in 2024. But more importantly, it gave us freedom. We didn’t chase the market. We didn’t react. We waited. We held the few assets that exploded higher, and kept dry powder for the next storm. That’s how asymmetric positioning works, quiet when others are loud, aggressive when others freeze.
So while investors debate rate cuts and soft recessions, the capital flows are already shifting. Not into bonds. Not into REITs. Not into safe dividend stocks. Into assets where risk is brutal, but upside is obscene. Where you can lose 20%, but gain 300%. Where the system has no control.
Bitcoin isn’t just an asset. It’s an escape valve.
