Look where you are already invested is one point. So thats your pension and house holding or similar
Save a gold sovereign for every year of work is one old proverb I read once. So you retire and it dont matter if the government have defaulted on their debt to pensioners, which is basically what they do every time they raise the retirement age. [All the QE is tied to pension debt, they are the bound beneficiaries of that policy]
Not sure what the modern equal to that would be, the USA gold coins are a whole ounce and a sovereign is only about a quarter ounce so might depend what wealth you used to. I agree with the general idea of long term saving and it might apply to Bitcoin also, buy only a little but regular in case it takes years to turn around and it might.
My recollection of BTC 2013 onwards, kinda took years to ground itself and then accumulate again with a false dawn of halvening. Dont know it wont be the same again this time. I personally believe Volatility is a bull market and this cycle goes back to 1980 when
Silver spiked vs treasury debt and so I expect gold to spike this time in a similar way to how Nixon's shock caused a long ripple like a bullwhip crack that didnt hit till 10 years later.
We're ten years on from 2008 so I figure it's fair to expect some larger moves, not crypto but its going to influence us and the prices and usefulness of crypto in the chaos of YEN troubles and USD troubles and I think the EURO and EU does have problems unleveraging, unwinding the 0% interest loans on bad debt. Instead of worrying about decline, we should be anticipating a giant wave of transactions and preparing for that call to arms for crypto in the wake of 'normal' finance failure. Like building an arc in the desert, one day it'll flood and imo thats a reasonable scenario in a polar opposite kind of shock to the system
Not that I wish ill on anyone but theres too many mistakes to expect nothing at all, governments plan will be to print more not less and pay debt with less value then was borrowed originally so a legal defrauding. I imagine nobodys expectations come true. My source would be Alan Greenspan and the disparity between his words in office and his warnings afterwards, if a guy with a Presidential Medal of Freedom cant keep to the party line then who can. Mr Greenspan worries about his legacy I think, it damages his ego now that people might laugh about how badly he allowed the setup of Federal debt for failure in the decades after
