So if you have more coins than you are comfortable parking on an exchange (essentially, any amount above zero for me), and you wanted to go to something with low volatility for a few days/weeks/months, what would be your choice?

Obviously, it all depends

I think there is a big difference between time spans like days, weeks, and months. As to me, for short term packing, the US dollar seems to be perfect (or US Treasury bonds). It is totally liquid and accepted everywhere (that should go without saying). But if you want to park your wealth for longer terms (say, up to a few months), you should evidently look into gold (US Treasuries should do just fine too). You don't necessarily have to buy metal gold, you can instead buy gold derivatives like gold ETF's or cash-settled gold futures, and you are pretty much done

I beg to differ. Gold was confiscated before in the USA and ETF's are only a entry on a private ledger. I would rather invest

in fixed assets for Long-term. < Buy a house or some property for the rental income... people always need a place to stay,

even in times where there are financial storms > Huh

This is not a question of long term investing

Can you really read and understand what my post is actually about? Did you fail to see that I specifically mentioned terms up to a few months? I guess that would require a lot of fantasy to construe that as long-term investing. So how many houses are you going to buy to park your wealth for a period of a few months? In short, read before you write (and try to understand what you are reading and what it actually refers to)
