Is it worthwhile to invest in precious metals?
Why not?? Precious metals are good for your portfolio in you look from capital protection perspective. Having cryptocurrency in your investment portfolio doesn't restrict you from investing in precious metals and you must not overlook the opportunities it provides. So my answer is Yes!!
I invest a good sum of money every month in paper gold and I have been doing it since last 3 years. That's one of the strongest investment in my portfolio.
