Cryptocurrency Website Says Now Is a Good Time for Gold
Even some of the biggest supporters of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies recognize the stability of gold.
Last week was a bad week for Bitcoin. It’s price dropped significantly in the wake of a Chinese government crackdown on cryptocurrency exchanges in the country. Bitcoin’s price has recovered a bit this week, but a recent article published by The Cointelegraph still proclaimed now is a good time for gold.
Cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, have flown a little too close to the sun recently, and it has seen them get burned by a few key monetary institutions, as well as governments. This attack on Bitcoin, as well as fear and speculation around other markets, could spell a good time for investment in gold. Seen as an insurance policy, gold has been a steady and safe investment for hundreds of years. As markets, beyond even the crypto market, get spooked, investors could see a safety net in the precious metal.”
The Cointelegraph article emphasized gold as a “safe steady investment.”
When sexy cryptocurrencies came along, with their 800 percent gains in less than a year, many put their funds into it. However, in the bad times, and for those investors who are a little more cautious, gold acts as a good insurance policy, as well as a reliable option to diversify with.”
The article also highlights some real-world factors aiding gold’s appeal.
- Dollar devaluation
- Brexit
- Unpredictable Trump
- North Korea
- Global stock market bubble
- Interest rate policy
- Crypto under fire from governments
- Crypto bubble fears
- Negative campaign against crypto
- Gold a historically safe option
It’s interesting to see a pro-gold piece published on a platform dedicated to cryptocurrency. At times, there can be a great deal of animosity between the worlds of crypto and precious metals. But as the article demonstrates, there really doesn’t have to be. Cryptocurrencies and precious metals can peacefully coexist.
The Cointelegraph takes a similar position as SchiffGold.
It’s good to diversify.
Some investors have made a lot of money in the world of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But it remains a risky world. Diversifying your cryptocurrency portfolio with precious metals can help mitigate some of the potential downsides and put you in an overall stronger financial position.
