Recently, I've seen a few posts here about which is the better investment: crypto or gold. And I want to offer some advice.
You can stock up on the slickest, most cutting-edge, ahead-of-the-game commodity there is, or the most ancient, classic, reliable form of wealth known throughout time. It doesn't matter in the slightest bit: everything is meaningless without the support of God. There is no form of currency that will withstand a God who has turned His back on your civilization. There is no vault that God cannot open (or close). Your success or failure resides entirely within God's will, His grade. So do you think that you've earned it? What deeds have you done, what sacrifices have you contributed, what glorious acts have you submitted before God to convince Him that we aren't a sad bunch of selfish monsters? It is those incredibly rare & heroic deeds of self-sacrifice that are wealth itself: no currency needed.
God is the goal: He will have you wiping your ass with gold coins while He turns tulips into the global currency. Just watch.
You are behind by about 3 weeks. Prices are back up where they were. Crypto is like any other fiat currency, but the difference is that there is no inflation by design. I make roughly 1k per month from it and I have to do nothing to get it. I use it to buy other things that will get me through a crisis.
Gold by itself has very little inherent value. It only keeps its value because people buy it and want to have it, because they are convinced it keeps its value. In reality: when the power goes out, it is only a matter of time before you can no longer use gold to buy food. You would be far better off with a ton of steel, a few hundred gallons of diesel and drinking water than gold at that point.
In fact, when the power goes out, the only usable fund is commodities, your own productivity and the tools you have at hand.
