BTC as a Store of Wealth

in LeoFinance5 years ago

Let us say that I have $2,000.00.

In my Christmas wish list is a $20 St Gaudens Double Eagle.

Should I get more Bitcoin, or should I acquire the Gold Coin?

If YOU were me, which of the below will you put your fiat on:


Bitcoin

and increase my cryptocurrency portfolio?

NOTE: Last night, a friend asked me take a quiz, and I earned Orchid Tokens, as you will notice on the right panel of the photo above. So if you are interested in earning FREE MONEY [you can covert your tokens into any of your preferred crypto], just click the link below:

Or should I put the fiat into a

St Gaudens Double Eagle

and increase my gold stack?

In case you are interested to know... I am just a regular American girl and a relatively average wage earner. I believe in saving fiat but I am also a precious metals stacker and believe in storing wealth in gold jewelry. I pay regularly towards a retirement account, have individual stocks and own a couple of equity funds and I am a passive real estate investor. Oh, in 2016 I opened a cryptocurrency account. In general, I have very conservative personal views about financial investments.

Gold has been a store of value since man discovered gold. Despite what others say, I don't believe that gold will cease to be a store of value anytime soon.

But I also have personally experienced and benefited from the bull run of Bitcoin towards the end of 2017 when I was able to pull out more from Bitcoin's value than my gold stack [will ever do to-date, I must add].

I personally think that Bitcoin will never replace gold, but [conservative as I am] I believe that Bitcoin has its place in anyone's portfolio.

Did I miss that "Two for the Money" post? Aren't you glad that we have the US Mint producing all that clad coins!

Take care, @pocketechange 🥰🌺🤙 !tip

I sure hope that Bottle of U.S. Coinage belongs to you... Anyway, I “edited” my last post called “One for the Money” by adding “Two for the Show”... I intend on “editing” the same post, two more times with... “Three to get Ready” and then “Four to Go”...

Show us your clad stack, @pocketechange. Do you keep them rolled or do you put them in bottles or jars, or in ziplock bags?

I dont have any Bitcoin, but I have a tiny bit of Litecoin. I cant afford either right now but a couple of days ago when Bitcoin nearly touched the 6,000 mark was a good time to buy in my opiniom.

In other words, do you think, every time BitCoin hits a new Low, it's a Good time to Buy...

My question has to be... How far down would you be willing to follow BitCoin...???

December 20, 2019... 17.4 Hollywood Time...

I got my first Bitcoin for $633 and some cents in October 2016, I sold it for almost $6000 late October 2017, (then price double in December, I should have waited... but it scared me to death with the sudden increase in price... like one on hand than 2 in the bush, right... so sold that it right away. Do you recall the crash in 2014, I did not want to be part of statistics.) I cashed out, left a little in ETH, then got some fractions when the price went down. Like stacking.. it is a long game... and the money is made when you buy and you lose only if you sell lower than your buy price factoring in inflation. That is why I have not sold any of my silver yet. I am talking jibberish... just got home. Sorry for the late post for my 12 Days of Christmas. It is up now, bestie.
Have a fantastic weekend, bestie, and take care 🥰🌺🤙 !tip

Ive been there too it is a long game...

Lol, I spent most of my Bitcoin on Silver from Silvergoldbull.ca.
But I think crypto is a natural part of my Off The Grid savings. With the majority being in my favorite cold hard PMs.
Luv ya Sis! 🌺🎄🤗🥀

I know that you were into cryptos way before I was. And I was not trading. Only bought that 1 bitcoin in 2016 because ThinkVesting convinced me. I signed up via his referral and invested six hundred some dollars, then sold it a year and a month later, but made so much than what I had hoped for from that one purchase. ThinkVesting on the other hand... he was mining Bitcoin, he is sort of a techy guy. He was able to buy a couple of investment properties in his homeland (he is an expat living in , Ummm... I forget now... was it Singapore?)
My adrenalin is going... I just got home from all the hustle and bustle of the holidays... gosh... it is crazy out there! I am glad I am in the quiet of my home.
I took several days off for the holidays, BTW, hehehe.
Have a wonderful evening, take care sis 🥰🌺🤙, and a luv ya a million times more! Hugs and Kisses 🤗💕💋!!!! !tip

Physical gold transcends time and various currencies throughout history.

Indeed, my friend! I think that having both precious metals and cryptocurrency (as well as fiat savings) is the way to go!
Have a wonderful weekend, @sketch.and.jam, and take care 🥰🌺🤙 !tip

You won't lose, with Fiat Savings...

Nor will you Gain with your Fiat Savings...

They do make it Easier to Utilize the Banking System...

The Banks will Remain a Part of our Monetary Reset...

Gold! I love crypto but personally if i had that money to invest it would be into Monero if any crypto. It just has more real world uses atm be the legal or not is irrelevant lol.
But yeah gold has ha value for so long it's not going anywhere soon. If a nuclear war happened and the internet was taken down btc would be fucked but gold would still be sound.

Exactly!!! A balanced portfolio is the best. Awesome comment, my friend. I appreciate you! Have a terrific weekend ahead, and take care 🥰🌺🤙 !tip

I'd split it between crypto and metal...But only after a titanic internal struggle with myself not to spend it on another firearm...Or G&T's.

PERFECT!!! Well, a firearm is metal too, hehehe. Ummm... how about silver bullets...

Have a terrific weekend, @galenkp, take care 🥰🌺🤙 !tip

Silver bullets may work...I wouldn't shoot them though.

Gold is a safe bet. Plus you can hold it! Always better to have physical wealth imo. But I think with BTC you have the chance to make more in the short run. Then perhaps you could by two gold coins? 🧐🧐🧐 oh crap!!! Now I don’t know what you should do!!! 🤣

That was what I did when I sold my first bitcoin.... I got some precious metals, paid some towards my house equity, kept some for the fiat stack, and left some in ETH. I too love gold coins!
Have a wonderful day, @balticbadger, and take care 🥰🌺🤙 !tip

Thats a tough call @silversaver888... I personally think we are headed for a Christmas Crypto rally!
Now don't take my advice LoL.... But I think after Christmas we will see a dump, temporarily!
So.....What to do, what to do???
Diversification like you stated above BTC has it's place in my portfolio too, I like to spread it around, and i'm just an average guy...

I like the Gold idea, for me I kind of lean toward more bullion.
In crypto if you have much BTC get a Ledger Nano S to keep it offline.
I also like @spinvest, @spinvest-leo and @spinvest-neo SPI tokens, something to look into!😀
Just my two cents.....

I personally think precious metals are the safest bet. But I would look into crypto XRP. Has huge potential and it at yearly low price right now.

I know from reading and watching your updates that you are conservative with your hard earned resources like myself. I too prefer precious metals over crypto, but keeping a fiat stack is always prudent.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, @bowentroyer. Have a wonderful day and take care 🥰🌺🤙 !tip
