Saving money alone cannot save us from the future's uncertainty but saving and investing as well will secure us a brighter future. While investing in gold can bring us a fortune, then the more that we can achieve financial freedom through saving and accumulating bitcoin.
However, saving gold is always the traditional form of investment and will never be underrated. But since we are now in the world of technology and innovation, saving bitcoin could perfectly suit the demands of our future.
I think you are right, and that is because the value of money can decay overtime, and this is why like you said we also need to have an investment because it acts as a counter to the inflation. We only need to choose our assets wisely as some are still poor in quality and only just a scam.
Anyway, Both Gold and BTC can bring us a fortune which can also equates to being financially free, but it's just that BTC is only known to be a decentralized currency and the title of financial freedom is its tag line. BTC is more techy than Gold but I heard there is also digital gold now? And they might be back by a real gold. For me, both assets are still important because each has their own pros and cons.
