Gold, women are attracted to it, apparently. Roll Eyes

I know that if I met a guy in a club, he buys me a drink so he can sit down a few minutes and try to impress my panties off in as little time as possible, and he started talking about how much gold he bought, I'd go hmmm, pretty cool. If another one sat down on the other side, whether he bought me a drink or not, whether he couldn't care less about my panties, and said he bought a BTC the other day, he'd have my full attention.

Just sayin  Grin

ETA for the ones who might be confused: the investment he'd make tells me a lot about the guy himself - and a guy who would rather buy gold than BTC when the entire planet is going through a digital paradigm shift is not a guy who is plugged in too well. I get it he's old school and probably a right winger or a thief (or both Cheesy ) but the one who bought BTC recognizes what's going on all around him and has an eye on the future. I'd rather spend 5 minutes with a guy who has vision and enthusiasm than all night with a guy who'd get pissed off if I made more money than him...cause when it's all said and done and BTC escalates way higher than gold ever could, I will  Grin

You say "anti government" like that's a bad thing...

Unfortunate times will bring out the best in good people and the worst in bad people

If it's equal value btc vs gold I would take the gold any day of the week. I love btc don't get me wrong but gold has been around for a very, very long time.

Btc has a lot of threats these days. I just like knowing the gold I own is not susceptible to something as crazy as a solar flare. You never know what could happen one day. We're all gonna look really silly one day if there's no electricity but we have our flash drives and paper wallets. Not saying something like that is going to happen but ya never know.

If the shit hits the fan one day I like knowing that my kids and wife have a shot because my safe contains gold and ammo.

Always own some precious metals and gems.   Can be like a gold watch,  diamond ring or other  jewelry.   In a war situation it could save your life.   Seriously,   I experienced this as a kid.

Gold is easier to exchange for fiat and difficult to rob. But have you forgot that the gold prices have declined by 30% from their peak? (Anyway BTC declined even more...  Grin)
