Egon von Greyerz Interview: Crypto Distraction Before The Silver Tsunami?
- Investor Talk
Cryptos are on everyone’s lips, precious metals seem to be out of fashion. What role does Elon Musk play, who triggered the last buying panic in BTC? A dubious one, at least. The markets have entered a manic phase, driven by momentum buying that has no foundation. This is what the final phase of a trend has always looked like. Despite distractions, silver demand is high and in the minds of many the value of silver seems to be arriving. Premiums on coins are high, while you can still get investment bars. How much longer? The failure of the shorts is bound to happen and the time when you can still buy silver so dirt cheap will come to an end. 0:00 Intro 1:20 BTC distraction from gold?
