Bitcoin: the gold of the future
Neuner believes that due to impending government errors, ranging from economic collapses to rising geopolitical tensions, investors will flock to secure assets.
โI think governments are going to do crazy things. And I think when governments are going to want to do crazy things, I think people are going to flock to gold,โ Neuner. explained.
Gold, traditionally the preferred safe haven during turmoil, has seen significant appreciation recently. He rising gold pricesNeuner believes, indicate that investors are preparing to possible government errors.
However, Neuner also foresees an โuneven timeโ for gold, a point at which Bitcoin will overtake it as a preferred safe haven. Gold, despite its longstanding status, is not on-chain verifiable.
Central banks can claim to hold a certain amount of gold, but without on-chain verification this cannot be conclusively proven.
Neuner theorized, โsomewhere a government or a central bank will do something stupid around goldโฆ. People are going to flock to Bitcoin.โ This important change in investor behavior could be an instrumental moment for Bitcoin.
The evolution of Bitcoin: a new investment frontier
Bitcoin is not only a imminent safe haven, but its recent developments also excite Neuner. He signaled the launch of Ordinals, giving Bitcoin increased functionality similar to Ethereum.
โBitcoin has gone from being a store of value only to being a competitor to Ethereum,โ he enthused.

However, Neuner's enthusiasm does not end with the technical advances of Bitcoin. His decision to sell his altcoins stems from his belief that investing in Bitcoin and the infrastructure being built around it offers a better prospect than smaller altcoins.
โWe have really, really, really entered a new era now in Bitcoinโฆ Would you rather be investing in small altcoins somewhere else? Or would you rather invest in some amazing infrastructure being built on the Bitcoin ecosystem? he asked rhetorically.
When to Sell Altcoins to Prepare for a Bitcoin-Dominated Future
Although excited, Neuner also foresees challenges ahead, particularly around Bitcoin's scaling capabilities. However, he believes that investors should prepare for this impending revolution by hoarding โdry powderโ or investable cash.
Neuner warned that waiting could mean watching the prices of other tokens fall while Bitcoin and its tokens soar. Her advice from him? Enter Bitcoin and its flourishing ecosystem now.
