F0143: A Simcard of Gold is Now RM510. What’s Happening — and Is It Too Late to Invest? (With Hann Liew & Sani Hamid)


Listen Later

The performance of gold has been astounding.

Since 2024, the asset is up over 82%—1 gram of it (which is about the size of a simcard) is now worth RM510, and a kilo of that (about the size of a cholocate bar) could afford you a condo.

Bitcoin, often dubbed as gold 2.0, has also been on an uptrend.

Though it has retraced in the past couple of weeks, its performance since 2024 is actually more impressive than gold – up 164%.

As of 28 Sept 2025, 1 BTC is currently $112,000, which coincidentally, could also afford you a condo, albeit a slightly cheaper one.

In this episode, financial experts Hann Liew and Sani Hamid breakdown the historic performances of both gold and Bitcoin, why they’ve increased so much in price, and the ultimate question everyone wants to know: whether it’s too late to invest.
