    Bitcoin And Gold Are Both LOSING In 2026 - Why?

    Peter Tchir, Head of Macro Strategy at Academy Securities, joins Mike McGlone of Bloomberg Intelligence and CoinRoutes co-founder Dave Weisberger to break down why Bitcoin and gold are the two worst-performing major assets of 2026, and what credit markets, the Fed and the AI spending boom mean for crypto. The panel starts with Fed week, the AI trade unwinding and midterm odds, then digs into widening credit spreads, debt-funded AI data centers and Fed liquidity. Mike makes his case that gold and Bitcoin have peaked and Treasuries are the place to hide, Dave and Peter push back on Bitcoin, gold, a Democratic sweep and deficit spending, and Peter closes on the risk from volatility-selling strategies.
