Q: Are you frustrated by gold and silver’s lack of inflation protection?
A: Gold and silver are commodities. As prices increase, producers manufacture more of it to sell on the market! Farmers plant more grain as prices go higher. The Saudi’s pump more Crude oil as prices skyrocket; and cut production when there’s a glut. The same phenomenon happens with the Gold and Silver market. If gold was so scarce, why does Costco sell it?
Q: Why isn’t gold trading higher?
A: According to our calculations ( and confirmed by ChatGPT,) Gold has produced an annual rate of return of approximately 2.82% since The Great Gold Panic on September 24, 1869. This hardly protects our wealth against the ravages of inflation.
Is the world becoming digital or less digital?
Let’s dive into the ultimate face-off: Bitcoin vs. Gold. It’s like choosing between the old school bling and the new-age digital treasure. First up, we’ve got Bitcoin – the cool kid on the block. It’s all digital, decentralized, deflationary currency with a hard coded limited supply, and shaking up the financial scene. Because of the fixed number of Bitcoin tokens available, miners cannot create more as prices rise! It’s the very definition of the type of scarcity we want for inflation protection.
Analysis Hard Money Strategy
Why not have the best of both worlds?
Bitcoin a.k.a. “digital gold” – is a fusion of the old-school charm of gold and the future of money. If you own gold in your IRA or 401(k), you’re probably holding shares of the SPDR Gold Trust (symbol: GLD). Since September 2011, until February 12, 2024, Gold is +18%, GDX is -53%. Gold is +18% over 12 years?
So, are you Team Bitcoin, rocking the digital revolution? Or Team Gold, keeping it classic and tangible? Maybe you’re on Team Both, enjoying the perks of both worlds. It’s your call, crypto adventurer – the choice is yours!
The objective of the Bitcoin-Gold IRA Switching strategy is to assist investors in protecting their wealth from the loss of purchasing power from inflation and massive increases in Federal debt monetization embraced by Modern Monetary policy.
Using a technical scoring system, we evaluate the two of the most popular hedges against inflation.
It’s the best of both worlds. Gold: a store of value and trusted yellow metal for thousands of years; and Bitcoin, a new digital, scarce, global reserve currency and inflation hedge.
Digital gold for a digital world: Bitcoin.
Relative strength (RS)
Our analysis uses “relative strength”, (“RS”) to compare one security against another, permitting an investor to own the technically strongest candidate.
Depending on your financial situation, allocating a portion of your assets into gold or Bitcoin as a hedge against the destruction of our nation’s currency may add a layer of strategic diversification.
Using Limited Discretion we monitor and manage this strategy in a self-directed Traditional IRA, “Roth” IRA, Rollover IRA or self-directed 401(k) brokerage account.
The purpose
The purpose of this strategy is to provide you either with an allocation to Bitcoin using the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust ETF (symbol: GTBC) or the historically proven hedge against Gold via the SPDR Gold Trust (symbol: GLD).
The strategy holds 1 position with the best relative strength choosing from GLD or GBTC. Using Relative Strength allows an investor to hone-in on the strongest ETF to capture the strongest trend and avoid the weakest trend.
Strategy Insights
Cenacle Capital Management will buy the SPDR Gold Trust if its relative strength is superior compared to its rival Bitcoin.
Should Bitcoin as defined by the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust indicate the potential for relative out performance, the we’ll SELL GOLD and BUY BITCOIN.
Relative strength measures the performance of one security in comparison to another. For example, how Microsoft is performing compared to the S&P 500, or how the U.S. Dollar is doing relative to the Euro.
Momentum & Relative Strength Strategy Insights
“Relative Strength” is a term used to describe a systematic structured methodology of comparing price performance of one security to another.
Directionless, narrow markets and markets with transitioning leadership tend to be periods when relative strength strategies will struggle. Relative Strength seeks to capitalize on performance differences between assets classes or within asset classes.

Think of it like the rebel breaking free from the traditional money system. You can buy stuff, invest, and even send it across the globe without dealing with banks. It’s the poster child for the digital revolution because it cannot be as easily manipulated by the globalists.
Then there is Gold – the timeless champ. Shiny, tangible, and loved by a thousand generations. Gold has been the symbol of wealth for ages. You can wear it, hold it, and stash it away in a secret spot. It’s the bling that never goes out of style. Nothing feels better in your hand than holding a gold coin. But math shows that since 1980, it’s barely kept ahead of the rate of inflation.
