What Investors Asked: Predictions, Bitcoin, and Gold
In this Ask Monument Anything episode, we're answering real questions from listeners of the show.
From a question about Michael Burry's bold predictions and why they continue to draw attention, to a discussion of Bitcoin's unusual performance in 2025 and the renewed curiosity around gold as a potential safe-haven asset, the conversation then shifts to private credit's emerging role inside 401(k) target-date funds.
Key takeaways:
• The patterns that show up again and again when attention-grabbing forecasts circulate
• Forces that pushed Bitcoin into an unexpected direction this year
• A renewed focus on gold as investors look for steadier ground
• Some new considerations for retirement savers as private credit enters target-date funds
• Shifts in interest rates that reshape valuations and private-market activity
• Context that helps separate meaningful insight from fast-moving headlines
