Topic: The Real Reason to Hold Gold And Bitcoin - page 11. (Read 674545 times)

As for my own reason, I do hold bitcoin and gold because i know these are valauble and can be an asset. Like what you've said it is a good investment even they are likely different but we can keep them for the future purposes.

Both are extremely good investment with different way of giving you profit. Gold's value is never volatile but it keeps on getting higher which is a very good investment for a long term. In contrast, bitcoin can give you big income even just a short period of time whenever there is a spike of its market value because bitcoin's value is very volatile too.

The world is run by the state-bank alliance.  The top politicians and bankers jointly profit from inflating the values of money and debt with state power -- this system couldn't survive without either side.

The interesting thing is, if you buy and hold gold and Bitcoin for the long term, you can benefit.  (Just make sure you don't buy when the global empire is rising, like the 1950s or early 1990s.)  The reason is also due to the nature of the state-bank alliance.

Note that, in this alliance, the top politicians contribute state power, while the top bankers contribute financial know-how.  The politicians, being totally ignorant in this high-stakes and specialized game, are basically led around like children.  They just go along because they benefit from issuing huge amounts of public debt without being punished by the 'markets.'

So here's the problem with this alliance.  When financial asset values collapse (and this day will come, due to the incentives faced by the elites) and everyday people suffer, the politicians will put all the blame on the bankers.  The reasons are obvious (and there is no loyalty in that game,) and the politicians are going to win that argument.  The biggest such events in history include the Spanish Inquisition and the Nazi Holocaust.  In our day, politicians like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have already gone after the bankers.

Knowing that, the bankers and central bankers must prepare a last-ditch rescue for a worst-case scenario, when all trust in the system is gone.  That rescue will be some non-state-issued asset, like gold, silver, and Bitcoin, that the elites can peg their money to (at a high price for the non-state asset,) stabilize their system, and ease the suffering.  Even if the bankers think there's only a small chance for such an occurrence, it will be so devastating to the bankers that they must prepare for it.

So, the elites will try to suppress non-state assets, but won't kill them, even when given a chance.  In the long run, this presents something like a one-way bet for these assets, at current prices.

This is human tendancy that we buy gold.
To make our future secure we hold gold and bitcoin because gold will be more expensive in the upcoming years and bitcoin it will reach its higher price soon. That is the reason many people hold that things.
To make our future secure we buy Gold & Bitcoin and hold them until market rise.

The people hold gold or bitcoin for stored asset for future use ,this is so because gold and bitcoin have high values, the difference is gold is physical and bitcoin is digital both are the same valuable assets that can be given to next generation for them to use also and continue to invest, and one thing to hold also for emergency financial crises.

They are indeed good because gold and bitcoin have only a one way to go and that is to go up. As the time passes and the gold and bitcoin will become more expensive because they don't have an unlimited supply and they both got a demand which can make the price go higher and higher because more people are now interested to invest in gold and digital gold which is bitcoin.

I think both are good investments. Both have huge whales, but so does everything else to be honest. At least with bitcoin whales have no control over total supply and it is fixed.

With gold... what if huge mines are found? or some asteroid once we have advanced technology? that makes me a bit worried for the long term.

I would also rather have people that just bought BTC cheaply because they liked the idea rather than some warlords that stacked tons of gold through centuries.

Both things are really good. Also I can't disagree with the fact that bank alliance has enormous power and they really move the world.
