In the current context of high uncertainty in the global economy, many seasoned investors are re-evaluating their asset allocation. Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," has recently drawn market attention with his view that Bitcoin is becoming a safe-haven asset during economic crises.

Market pressure is indeed increasing. The overall cryptocurrency market is not optimistic, having evaporated more than $1.92 trillion in market value in just the past three months. However, Kiyosaki's logic is quite interesting: it is precisely the fragility of this financial system that opens the door of opportunity for investors who timely turn to hard assets. He candidly stated on social media, "While the world economy collapses, you will become richer"—this statement reflects a significant shift in the mentality of many investors.

Coincidentally, the latest actions of the Federal Reserve seem to confirm this concern. On December 10, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point reduction in the benchmark interest rate, bringing the federal funds target rate range to 3.50%-3.75%, the lowest since the end of 2022. This marks the third rate cut this year. Interestingly, the vote was not unanimous — 9 votes in favor and 3 against, with internal disagreements among the opposition, where some insisted on maintaining the status quo, while others advocated for a more aggressive rate cut.

From a data perspective, the Federal Reserve is still continuing the other side of quantitative easing - quantitative tightening officially came to an end in December. This policy, which started in 2022, has had a profound impact on the financial markets.

So the question boils down to: in such a macro background, are Bitcoin and precious metals a risk hedge or a true wealth growth channel? The answer varies from person to person, but a consensus is forming - in an era where central bank policies are constantly adjusting and the traditional financial system is under pressure, re-evaluating the value of alternative assets is no longer a topic exclusive to niche investors.
