By @PeterSchiff on X · https://f.xyz/t/3ec09ecf-7325-484e-8170-f21731d8c964

> Rising inflation and bond yields prick asset bubbles: Bitcoin falls and gold wins.

**Result:** If held over the last 3 months (Jul 30, 2026 – Oct 29, 2026): −12.3%. Over the same days: BTC +26.5%, Gold −1.3%.

## What it holds

- **Bitcoin falls** (50%, −26.5% over 3 months): against BTC (Bitcoin) −26.5%
- **Gold rises** (50%, −1.3% over 3 months): GOLD (Gold) −1.3%

## The plan behind it

Peter Schiff wrote on 14 Oct that rising inflation and bond yields are pricking asset bubbles and Bitcoin should be a lot lower. He said to sell Bitcoin and buy gold. This holds a short on Bitcoin and a long on gold, in equal parts.

> I don't know what's holding up Bitcoin. With the Democrats about to take Congress and rising inflation and bond yields pricking asset bubbles, the price should be a lot lower by now. Sell your Bitcoin before the bottom drops out of the market and buy gold!

## FAQ

### Can I make one from my own idea?

Yes. Write what you believe in plain words at https://f.xyz/create. fxyz asks a couple of questions, builds the portfolio and shows how it would have done over the last 3 months.

### Can I turn a post on X into a theory?

Yes. Reply to the post and tag @fxyzai. It tests the view in the post and replies with the 3-month result and a link.

### What can it trade?

Stocks (Tesla, Apple, Nvidia), crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana), pre-IPO companies (OpenAI, Anthropic), indices (Nasdaq 100, S&P 500), commodities (gold, silver, oil, copper) and currencies (EUR/USD, USD/JPY). One theory can mix them, and bet for or against any of them.

### How does it react to news?

On each check it reads the last two days of news on its biggest holdings and says whether the idea still holds. It can make one small change at a time: trim or drop one holding by up to 5 points. On autopilot the change waits 10 minutes so the owner can skip it; otherwise it asks first.

### How do I run it with real money?

For real money, tap Make it mine, open your copy and choose Use real money, with an exchange connected: Hyperliquid, Lighter, Lighter (Robinhood), Backpack, Pacifica or Binance. The money stays in your own account there. fxyz can place trades, but it can never withdraw.

### Can the AI get it wrong?

Yes. fxyz's AI turns the idea into holdings, and it can get that wrong: add a coin or stock that doesn't fit, or miss one that does. Check the holdings before you put money in. In your own copy, ask its chat to add or drop any of them.

### What do the 3-month numbers mean?

What $100 would have done holding this mix over the last 3 months, at real prices. It is a what-if, not a record: past or simulated results are no promise of future ones, and nothing here is investment advice.
