Yeah that's a relevant point. Gold isn't really the safe haven asset it used to be, and it's just been slipping further and further into the abyss. The only use for it nowadays is jewellery and wedding gifts.

Crypto is interesting because it was conceived as a tool for decentralized exchange, but now it's becoming a hedge. Traders are getting into it because of the huge movements that it has, and more and more people are looking at it as an investment tool or a place to hide away money that they don't want to be taxed. That's also why there;s all this buzz about the ETF conception as well I think.
