Precious metals are on fire heading into 2026—already breaking records left and right. Silver's exploding at $90 per ounce, up a massive 201% year-over-year. Platinum hitting $2,400/oz with a 155% jump. Gold holding strong at $4,639/oz, climbing 73%. Even copper's in on the action, sitting at $6/oz with a 39% gain.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin's still struggling in the red, down 1.6% over the same stretch. The contrast is pretty stark—traditional assets are having a moment while crypto's playing catch-up. Makes you wonder what's driving this divergence in the markets right now. Traditional assets ripping while BTC treads water.

Silver doubles in value? Damn, is this real or just another media hype... BTC only dropped 1.6% but is being called a "loss," hilarious. Comparing it to traditional metals is just asking for humiliation.

Silver 201%? Is this number serious... Why does it feel like precious metals are crazier than our crypto circle this time?

Whoa, silver doubles? Why am I still stacking coins? I should have gone all-in on precious metals long ago.
