To protect yourself from the biggest crisis in a mankind history - it is better to store some money in cryptocurrencies on cold storages like Ledger and Trezor, but if there will come world war 3 - then there is a chance to get off from electricity and internet - so you will be not able to use your cryptos and that's the reason to buy silver and gold for at least 10% from your budget. Besides this it will be great to store some additional food and clear water (if you think I am crazy - watch this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjzeFOKUR04 also you can find more interesting videos on Mike Maloney youtube channel - he invests in gold and silver many years and he invest in cryptos also from 2013 year).
Investing in gold is not a profitable business at this time. If bitcoin is down 8k5 then you can buy more bitcoin instead of buying gold as it is sure that the profit you can get from bitcoin. will be much larger than investing in gold. I believe anyone who has entered the crypto market is unlikely to invest in another market because its potential is great.
