Good time to finally dump that gold and pick up bitcoin on sale.
man, that gold thing is truly old school...a hunk of metal.
I have 2 ounces of gold in 5 gram bars and 50 1oz silver coins that stay in a small backpack with 5 days worth of non-perishable food, a S&W .45 with 200 rounds and 2 magazines, a emergency water filter, a basic first aide kit with 1 months worth of prescriptions, and a single burner cook stove with 10 hours worth of fuel. It's intended to be a quick scramble grab and go back to get me out of the city on foot should all hell break loose. In a holy shit moment when you have to bargain for your life, digital assets are worthless. But a bar of gold, a silver coin, or a fifth of liquor seems like a pretty good deal when weighed against the 3 loaded firearms getting in the way of a smash & grab.
Precious Metals have their place, but only BTC will allow you to say FU... in good times.
