Bitcoin vs Gold: Why the Real Monetary Shift Isn’t What You Think

March 14, 2026

Show Notes

In this episode of Porkopolis Economics, the host analyzes the relationship between gold, Bitcoin, and global monetary realignment amid rising geopolitical tensions involving Russia, Iran, and the United States. Using historical central bank data, he shows how gold reserves have grown only modestly since the 2008 financial crisis, challenging the narrative that central bank gold buying alone explains the recent surge in gold prices. The discussion contrasts gold’s exponential price behavior with Bitcoin’s long-term power law trend, arguing that Bitcoin remains statistically close to its historical growth curve even during market volatility.
