As I read in the economic news, the gold reserve rate of the states is increasing and they buy gold. In many countries it is known that people prefer physical gold as the most valuable investment and save gold. Personally, even though I prefer to invest in cryptocurrency, I think it would be very reasonable to invest in gold against a possible global economic crisis.
The reason why I feel you would prefer to invest in gold to crypto is because cryptocurrency is yet to be regulated which is one of the reason why the market is still very volatile, but once government can regulate cryptocurrency, bitcoin most especially will appreciate to the point where it will become almost like a stable coin, and once we can achieve this level, people will definitely opt for bitcoin as digital gold because it is easily accessible compared to physical gold that you have to travel a far distance to have access to it, then to also get a buyer of it become very difficult and could take months and if not years for individuals.
