Another article that mainly focuses on comparisons of Bitcoin and gold, but how many times do people need to be told that gold is so different from Bitcoin? The author of the article of course refers to the history of gold in the US, especially emphasizing what happened in 1933 ("government banned the ownership of gold bullion / coinage for all US citizens"), and continues with the advice that no one should invest more than 2 % portfolio into something that will sooner or later collapse.
Personally, I’ve never heard of this person - and from everything he’s written he doesn’t seem to have changed his mind - he just wants to be in trend and get some attention for his blog.
I agree. He just seems to want clicks.
The 1933 gold analogy is a valid one, gold can be seized (e.g. stolen) while at home or at a border from anywhere to anywhere else. So places like South Korea, Hong Kong, most places in Europe, the US (with the potential for authoritarianism there now), India, Russia, pretty much everywhere, with capital controls or potential capital controls should be buying crypto now. People who leave preparation to the last minute won't be able to prepare.
Buying 2% of your portfolio now may make it 20% or 40% or 200% if we hit another order or magnitude or two of growth which is certainly possible.
