He sold off his gold after it peaked in 2012 (link) and then reacquired after it found a bottom in 2016.
Soros also bet ON Bitcoin in 2017 by acquiring shares in Overstock in Q4 which he subsequently sold in Q1 2018, after the market peaked.
Look at the charts. What do you think?
Are gold and Bitcoin similar bubbles? Is the Soros Indicator reliable?
