In light of Bitcoin's recent rebound, many investors are reconsidering their asset allocation. However, a senior industry analyst has issued a warning: at a time when gold and silver prices are reaching new highs, selling these precious metals to chase Bitcoin or related concept stocks carries significant risk.

He believes that the current rise in Bitcoin may just be an "诱多陷阱"—a trap that appears to be a strong rebound but conceals the risk of a pullback. Especially when it comes to investment decisions involving stocks of related listed companies, caution is even more necessary. As traditional safe-haven assets, precious metals' historical status should not be underestimated. In the face of market opportunities, blindly chasing risk assets while abandoning defensive positions often comes at a cost.

The so-called trap of诱多 is a bit absolute, honestly I still believe in the long-term prospects of Bitcoin. Whether gold and cryptocurrencies can be allocated together is a valid question; having to choose one is really uncomfortable. If this rebound is called a trap, what do those previous observers think? Precious metals are precious metals, but don't try to sell me on their historical status; the market speaks. If there's a bit of risk, just hide away, but then there's no opportunity to make money. By the way, why didn't so many experts come out to advise against when gold hit a new high? Chasing risk assets and diversification are two different things; don't confuse them, okay? It feels like these warnings are all armchair generals after the fact; when it really happens, no one admits it.

Pump and dump schemes, yeah, you really have to be cautious. I've seen too many people get caught and lose everything. --- Gold has already surged so much, yet some still insist on going all-in on Bitcoin. That's pretty outrageous. --- Honestly, those who are greedy now are not going to end well. Defensive positions are the way to go. --- Is it another pump trap theory? They say that every time, but what’s the result... --- I'm leaning more and more towards conservative asset allocation. The risks are really high. --- Precious metals are undervalued. They are much more reliable compared to these concept stocks. --- I'm just wondering, why insist on choosing one? Diversifying might be more stable. --- This rebound was quite fierce, and the risk of a pullback is hidden quite deep. --- The ones chasing the high are small investors; institutions have already been accumulating gold.

Coming again with the hype? Someone says this every round, and what’s the result? Those who miss out still miss out. To be honest, gold is stable, but can it truly resist inflation? Wake up. Wait, is this guy a gold bull... When BTC drops, they say it's risky; when it rises, they say it's risky. It's always risky. Why not just stay in cash? The so-called "historical status" of precious metals is getting old; times have changed. It's just cowardice, not daring to go all in.

The trap of诱多 is getting old; I hear it every time, yet BTC still keeps rising... However, precious metals are indeed stable, so it's still wise to hold some positions.

Are you here to bash Bitcoin again? I believe in gold as a safe haven, but completely clearing out to chase gold isn't realistic either. Every time there's a trap of诱多 (market manipulation), and what’s the result? Asset allocation should be balanced; don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Precious metals are stable, but what about the returns... can they really outpace inflation? It makes some sense, but timing is the key. Calling a halt now might not be the right move. I've heard this argument for three years: gold has risen, and so have cryptocurrencies. What's going on? Not everyone can withstand诱多 risks; at least holding onto gold allows for a peaceful sleep.
