Why don't you like Bitcoin? There are a few reasons to prefer other cryptos or to avoid crypto altogether, but I would like to know yours.

I am going with my gut feeling on this because, as usual, I don't have the facts. Gold is my preference, as we discussed before. Oh, and I am grouping all cryptos under the term Bitcoin even though I know it is wrong.The block chain is an abstract idea to me but I can feel the weight of an ounce of gold in my hand. What if that block chain just vanished over night? It can't happen, or can it? And all that money in Libras or whatever, just goes right into the the hands of the two hundred or so who own the Fed or into the CIA. Can't happen? Maybe. Cryptos go back twenty years but gold goes back quite a bit further than that. Call me old fashioned.

And if anyone is still reading, do not buy any certificate that says you own X-amount of gold and silver because when it comes down to it, that little piece of paper is just a little piece of paper. Get the real thing and both silver and gold are still undervalued.

These paragraphs have been almost entirely fact free but I could show you my gold. Can you show me your cryptos? Your wallet might be gone tomorrow but I don't wish it on you. Cash in and get some real money.
