Mexican Tycoon’s Bitcoin Bombshell: ’14X Surge Incoming’ - Declares Gold and Silver’s Demise
Billionaire investor makes explosive prediction that could reshape global finance.
The Digital Gold Standard Arrives
Forget traditional safe havens—this financial heavyweight claims Bitcoin's about to deliver returns that make precious metals look like relics. Fourteen times current valuations? That's not just optimism, that's a fundamental shift in how we store value.
Why Metals Are Getting Left Behind
Gold's been the go-to for centuries, but digital assets operate at internet speed. No vaults, no shipping, no government controls—just pure market dynamics. When institutions start allocating serious capital, the math gets brutal for traditional assets.
The Institutional Floodgates Open
We're not talking retail FOMO anymore. Sovereign wealth funds, pension managers, and corporate treasuries are building positions that would've been unthinkable five years ago. They're not buying the dip—they're building foundations.
Of course, Wall Street will find a way to charge 2% management fees for Bitcoin exposure that costs pennies to hold directly. Some things never change in finance.
The warning shot has been fired—either adapt to digital scarcity or watch your portfolio become museum-worthy.

VOX's "secret sauce" could be tasty
VOX holds 121 stocks, but it's not diversified in the traditional sense. In fact, VOX epitomizes concentration risk -- an issue that's in the limelight as a small number of megacap growth stocks take on outsize percentages of various cap-weighted indexes and funds.
Just three stocks --(META 1.82%),Class A shares (GOOGL 1.04%) andClass C shares (GOOG 0.95%) -- combined for 45.52% of the ETF's roster as of Sept. 30. Undoubtedly, that's a highly concentrated portfolio, but it's worked in investors' favor in recent years because the parents of Facebook and Google have been among the leaders in the megacap growth complex.
VOX is also ideal for capital-constrained investors. As investors gain experience, they come to realize that price and value are two distinct concepts, but there's no getting around the fact that with Meta trading north of $700 and with Alphabet Class A shares residing above $250, many retail investors can't build sizable stakes in either of those names, let alone both. With VOX, investors get a more-than-adequate proxy on those two storied stocks -- one with long-term home run potential -- for just $185 a share.
VOX is cheap in another way
Based purely on price, the cost of admission associated with VOX is "cheap" relative to direct ownership of Alphabet and Meta, but the fund is cost-efficient in other ways.
As is the case with nearly all other Vanguard ETFs, VOX is inexpensive to own. Its annual fee is just 0.09%, or $9 on a $10,000 investment. That's way below the 0.82% charged by comparable funds, according to Vanguard data.
VOX's low cost of ownership is material to investors who are approaching the ETF with long-term views, which is arguably smart because the fund has delivered the goods over multiyear holding periods.
'V' is for VOX and victory
Expecting that VOX will double in 2026 may be asking a lot, but another double over time is certainly possible. Investors WOULD do well to keep things in perspective and expect solid though not spectacular returns from the ETF into year-end and over the course of 2026.
Part of the perspective with VOX includes remembering what one is buying. Investors are getting a quality proxy on some high-growth companies with DEEP artificial intelligence (AI) ties. And don't overlook the quality component. No company outside the financial services sector has more cash on hand than Alphabet's $95.14 billion -- and with $47.07 billion in cash, Meta ranks 11th among all domestic companies (sixth excluding financials) on that metric.
