Again … if someone asks the question: “Bitcoin or gold?” The answer is, undoubtedly…
Yes!
Love it! So split the 10k then lol.
Very very interesting. I’m honestly just going to try what @Dennis3450 was doing. I should have followed along right when he started but better late than never I guess.

In trading there is always the third option - stay in cash. That’s where I’d be.
That’s interesting. Are you waiting for pullback or just not interested in either? 
Not interested in either as investments, just blue chip buy and never sell shares. Which I have enough of.
I’d be interested in riding trends in these for short-term trading profits, like Tesla and similar cr@p companies, but that’s it.
Gotcha. Def understand! Surprised you’re not looking at riding the bitcoin trend for short-term profits also.
I would do but its not offered by the UK SB firm I use. Which can be taken as a measure of risk I suppose.
The five steps in the lifecycle of a bubble are displacement, boom, euphoria, profit-taking, and panic.
I think BTC could be in the “euphoria” phase, right now.

That is so true. The “do nothing” option - that most people forget. In my current work, about 30% of my recommendations turn out to be the “do nothing” option because the cost or risk of any proactive option of change is either too high or does not return the minimum expected ROI at the corporate level. A sobering thought.
My opinion about the “do nothing” option in this particular case (you are given $10K) is to accept that losing 7% per year in opportunity cost is acceptable, and therefore must mean that future expectations of profit potential from all other investment types or trading opportunities are negative too. Am I correct?

Hi,
And (in theory) that is the source of our planned redirection of funds - from gold to crypto. In a long term and boring sequence, not a big bang shift all at once. We don’t do anything all at once any more. It could be bad for the ticker.

Very true. BTC is gaining value because it is regarded as a unit of exchange that is fast gaining in popularity. Technology is dynamic and alternative units of exchange WILL emerge and compete, maybe surpass BTC. However, there is little likelihood that another precious metal will be miraculously discovered to supplant the place of Gold.
With that in mind, I’d buy 100% Gold.

Whilst I agree with you about store of value in the long term, technology changes make rare commodities an interesting area to observe. Rare earth metals - those used in superconducting magnets in wind farms, electric vehicles and to a lesser extent mass production of battery stores (Tesla power wall, for example) may render some of those metals as good as or better than BTC in the next decade. A bit like the silver news that never seems to live up to its predictions by silver bugs. However, I put a great deal of thought - and some money - into ratio investing in the very long term. When I really grow up and get more time to think and study, I will be looking more closely at ratios. They are a developing part of my Crypto investment plan. Eg, look at how many ETH you can buy for one BTC. Over last year it has varied from less than 25 to more than 40. Strategy is to buy when you get a lot of the target (Alt) compared with the base (BTC) and sell when you get not much of the target (Alt) for the base. Only one example but I did this with BTC and ETH in December for a 25% gain in 15 days when the plan was to make a 20% gain within 60 days. A great example that generated a new trading strategy.

I would invest in both of them because in the current market scenario, both these are doing quite good.
I would invest in both of these equally because both of them have been doing quite well in the market. Investing in both would surely be a great option.
Is this something you’re still currently doing?
Yes, very much so. My last trade was to sell XRP and buy BTC, due to the rapid move in XRP price. No trades identified for the last 4 days, because ALL cryptos are moving in the same direction at rates very similar to each other. Give it some time, and the differential ratios will appear again, as sure as eggs is eggs.
