When gold becomes the anchor, Bitcoin becomes the new story — a belief in reverse investing

Starting today, I have set a clear investment anchor: when the price of gold reaches 5200, for every 1% increase, I buy 0.2 Bitcoin. This is not blind gambling but a carefully designed strategy—staying sober when everyone else is cheering.

Anchor Price Trigger Mechanism: A Contrarian Investment Framework

My strategy is simple yet philosophically meaningful: using the gold price as the trigger anchor, every time it rises by 1%, I invest the same amount in Bitcoin. The brilliance of this mechanism lies in automatically opposing my actions to market sentiment. When traditional safe-haven assets soar, it’s precisely the time I increase my allocation to new assets. No regard for price, no concern for quantity—executed mechanically.

When the world is cheering, I choose to go silent

I open my phone, and notifications flood in: “Gold and silver surge,” “Bitcoin faces cold reception.” Official media, small accounts, institutional research reports, group chat discussions—all voices singing in the same direction. Everyone toasts to gold’s victory, discusses silver’s prospects.

But at such moments, I turn off the screen and reject this noise. This collective chorus is not a rational voice; it often signals the wrong direction. When everyone on the ship is shouting in unison, that ship is usually furthest from the shore.

Millennia-old anchor vs. an unfinished new story

Gold’s story is long, with thousands of years written into textbooks. In times of panic, people instinctively cling to this ancient anchor. Gold feels safe because it’s familiar, ancient, and validated.

But Bitcoin? It’s a brand new story, still unfolding, with an unknown ending. Some drop out midway, some accuse it of being a scam, some see it as the future. This uncertainty makes most people uncomfortable.

Seeking familiarity in fear vs. embracing the unfamiliar in opportunity

When fear strikes, people instinctively gravitate toward what’s familiar. Gold represents that sense of familiarity, that psychological safety. But true opportunity often hides in the unfamiliar, in places that make most people uncomfortable.

So I firmly believe: when the market uses an anchor to gather the masses, it’s the moment for the lone explorer to discover new lands. My belief is simple—measure my confidence in Bitcoin by the rise of gold.
