I think it depends on the person. If someone likes safe assets, they would invest in gold although they can't earn a bunch. If someone likes high risk high return, then the person will invest in bitcoin. If the bitcoin price increases, they will earn a lot but it is not promised. About whether gold will be tokenized or not, I think many things in the world will be tokenized in future to avoid property problems so there is a possibility.
'safe' and high-return have always been mutually-exclusive
The bitcoin bullshitters like to tell you that you can have it both with btc, but this is the BIG LIE
Some bullshitters will say btc is the new-gold, other will say btc is the new-fiat; always as if crypto-shit coins were going to rule the world in the future
Just like pet-rocks in the past, or tulips; this mass hysteria of fraud is NOT new; history is full of ponzi scams, this the first one that is taken the world, largely because the internet allows worldwide ponzis to take place
Seems odd, DOD(TCP-IP) created the 'internet', DOD(NSA) created bitcoin, the DOD enabled all the bullshit and criminal activity, largely in the past wars were physical, invade a country and steal their shit,
Today war can be fought from wash-dc where computer geeks can rob the world, without even leaving the city. COVID hysteria demands everybody on earth stay in their home-prison.
