It's striking how few mainstream financial commentators were bullish on gold when 2025 kicked off. One senior economics analyst recently remarked he couldn't identify a single prominent voice making a strong case for gold purchases at the year's start. The observation highlights an interesting gap—despite gold's historical appeal during uncertain economic periods, consensus around bullish positions seemed thin at the opening of the new year. This contrasts sharply with the reality that diverse market perspectives exist across different platforms and channels. Such disparities in visibility of certain viewpoints raise questions about how mainstream financial narratives are shaped and which expert voices get amplified in mainstream discourse.

Is mainstream discourse really so easy to control? A bunch of people can't see or hear the bullish voices on gold, then turn around and say the consensus is gone... LOL

Mainstream media loves to play this game. When they don't see bullish signals for gold, they say no one is optimistic, but in the small circle, actions have already been taken.

ngl mainstream media is just like this, the voices truly optimistic about gold are completely drowned out...

Huh? The mainstream voices are not optimistic about gold? Then I actually think there's a chance this time... The less consensus there is, the easier it is to break out and move higher.

Really? At the beginning of last year, no one was bullish on gold? I actually saw quite a few on-chain influencers promoting it, maybe it's just that it didn't make it to mainstream media.

Hmm... mainstream voices are all silent, while in the small circles, bullish investors are everywhere. Information gaps are money, brother.

Mainstream discourse is again about cutting leeks; those who truly understand gold have already quietly jumped on board. The things that aren't mentioned by the media are often the most valuable.

Is mainstream discourse really that singular? What is visible and what is invisible are two different things.
