According to Balaji (@balajis), in 2011, following the financial crisis, the public sentiment was strongly bullish on gold while being bearish on real estate. This shift was influenced by the Federal Reserve's large-scale purchases of mortgage-backed securities, which temporarily restored confidence in real estate markets despite prior risks. Simultaneously, billions of dollars began flowing into digital gold, particularly Bitcoin (BTC), signaling a growing investor preference for decentralized assets as a hedge against traditional market volatility (Source: @balajis on Twitter, June 21, 2025). This historical perspective highlights how major policy interventions can redirect capital flows, impacting both real estate and cryptocurrency markets, and remains relevant for traders monitoring macroeconomic policy and digital asset trends.
