  • Silver’s price floor is “pretty high” and its upside is still “significant,” mirroring gold’s resilience.
  • Bitcoin, being far smaller, still offers a far larger upside‑to‑downside ratio.
  • Alden notes that while metals have become less asymmetric, Bitcoin still provides a 10‑20× upside potential relative to its price.
  • This asymmetry is a key driver for risk‑seeking investors.
  • The comparison underscores why both asset classes can coexist in a diversified portfolio.
