Why is nobody talking about the fact that government bonds are quietly losing you just as much money as crypto right now?
Most investors park capital in traditional yields thinking they have eliminated downside, only to watch real purchasing power erode while waiting on the sidelines.
The myth of the risk-free 5% return is breaking down in real time. If you bought a 10-year US Treasury yielding 4.18% at the start of the year, you are down roughly 3.7% year-to-date even after factoring in coupon interest. That duration risk is real, yet legacy finance treats it as safe haven territory.
Here is the kicker: $BTC is down the exact same 3.7% over that period, slipping from its 87,502 close to around 84,300. When so-called conservative debt instruments suffer identical drawdowns to $ETH or $SOL during macro chop, your defensive playbook needs an update. Re-evaluating volatility risk versus actual capital loss is how you protect your portfolio before the next liquidity shift.
Where do you think capital flows once the market realizes bonds carry crypto-level drawdowns?
