As I explained in my last comment, investing in precious metals is not available to everyone because it requires large budgets and the ability to store assets in designated secure locations, which entails paying periodic fees.
Nah, 1 gram of gold is $100, some company even sold 0.1 gram and 0.01 gram, that's very very cheap and affordable. Most people don't even that "much", here's what
$100,000 in gold looks like, there's no need to rent a place to hold such small thing.
In my country, it is not permitted to own large quantities of raw gold. Gold must be in the form of jewelry and must be secured in certain ways, ensuring that these assets are declared to the relevant authorities. After all, when you have a large quantity of gold, how can you hide and store it safely? I believe any gold investor can either secure their assets themselves (which is very expensive) or hire a storage company to do so for a fee.
Similarly, investing in the stock market is not easily accessible to everyone, as entering the stock market requires contracting with a stockbroker, who charges a commission.
Nah, it's not must to contact the stockbroker instead you can use their apps/websites to access their stock exchange.
In most cases, you'll need to contact an intermediary, either directly or through an app. Of course, this will also entail fees. While technological advancements have made this easier, what I want to point out is the comparison with building a diverse crypto portfolio. You can easily see the difference.
