I would say that you(and everyone else) should pick both precious metals and Bitcoin.
The world of finance isn't some weird game,where you have to pick only one option and completely abandon all the other options.Every financial expert is talking about diversification for a reason.
Bitcoin outperformed precious metals in the last years,but currently,the BTC price isn't going to another ATH(in times of high inflation and insecurity),while many people started buying gold again.
Bitcoin kinda failed as a protection against inflation and a safe heaven asset.Perhaps this might change in the future.
I don’t think gold is a good long term investment. Especially at $2000. Even if you bought it years ago at $1200 you would barely make anything.
From what I read the gold price is highly manipulated and there is more gold traded in the future markets than actually exists so basically there are entities which keep the price at a certain level. Same with silver but to a small degree.
Out of the three crypto obviously seems like the smarter play.
People buy gold to preserve the value of their capital,not to make gigantic profits.
We have to differentiate speculative investments from hedging investments.The first are risk-seeking,while the second want to escape from risk.
