In the context of the situation @UnDerDoG81 is in, why would gold be such a bad option? Its value is relatively stable and people have been using it for millennia - and for me personally, it is much more risky to have fiat in a bank account or stablecoins that can be frozen at any moment for any reason.

Besides, if everything goes to hell and we are left without the internet and food on supermarket shelves, gold will be worth something - Bitcoin, dollars, euros, stocks and bonds will be worth nothing.
