From Gold to AI: How TraderNick Beat the Market in 2025

In this episode, Austin reunites with Trader Nick for a
wide-ranging conversation about Bitcoin, AI, and the markets.
They open with the viral theory that Bitcoin could have been a
U.S. government creation, exploring how control and transparency
intersect in crypto. The two then debate the growing AI bubble —
whether it’s overhyped, how it might replace jobs, and if
universal basic income could become necessary as automation
accelerates.


Nick shares how he’s up 28% in 2025 by staying bullish on gold
and equities, ignoring political noise, and focusing on macro
data over headlines. He explains why bubbles often last longer
than expected, comparing the AI boom to the dot-com era, and how
discipline, not emotion, has helped him outperform the market.


They wrap up with thoughts on prop firms — Austin calling them
“the Ozempic of trading” — and the habits traders need to build
beneath the surface. Nick also gives an update on his A1 Trading
software, which helps traders analyze macro trends across
markets. The episode closes with both agreeing that for now, it
still pays to “stay with what’s working” until the data says
otherwise.Connect with Nick -  @A1Trading
