Prepare thy anus

I would recommend people own some of both (gold and bitcoin).

Bitcoin is a technology, that's need to be applied.... i guess some cavemen refused to use fire and died from frost.
So if you want to survive next financial meltdown you better get some bitcoins.

Gold is just a shiny yellow metal, nothing more, nothing less. It only has high value because we're still somewhat primitive. Cryptocurreny is da future, GG

thb gold as an material is really useful due to it's conductivity and other attributes, but yes, as a financial investment, i believe it to be a risky investment.
When you think about it; gold supply will go up indefinitely, and will become mined faster as tech advances with time, whereas bitcoin mining will always produce
only predicted number of coins. I really don't see why would anyone invest in gold, it's just a matter of time when people will realize what they own is just like a piece of metal.

Or other cryptos...

Some people think there won't be a flash crash, but I think one is probably inevitable.  They'll need to do NIRP + Cyprusing + printing all at the same time to keep the system going and fund both social programs + the military budget.  Those three market tampering mechanisms will cause people to remove money from banks to avoid being stolen from, and the printing will cause people to divest out of paper to avoid devaulation further reducing it's value.  As the money is removed from banks, there will be a liquidity contraction, which will cause them to print even more.  It will probably create a feedback loop that will wobble into implosion.

Or other cryptos...

only top 5 at this point, principally ethereum, litecoin maybe but since the halving is gone, not worth it anymore, doge a bit trash right now

the other one would be dash

I would recommend Bitcoins as it has reasons to get pumped, rather than Gold which is just getting dumped, and I highly doubt that people who are getting out of Gold are investing their money to get their hands on BTC itself...
