A long-time gold bull and prominent investor Jeffrey Gundlach has had his head turned by cryptoassets, after noting that bitcoin — and not gold — might be the next big market stimulus.

Gundlach, who serves as chief executive of DoubleLine Capital, tweeted that he had changed his mind on bearish long-term positions for gold and the US dollar, having been neutral on both for the last six months.
