BTC is a safer bet than gold imo
Not safer. It has a higher risk of going to zero. Much more +EV though.
Would you rather take 30 of these:
Or 2700BTC?
If you cant take anything in between?
2700 BTC if the current price is higher.
Gold safe bet is about 4x in the future (gold $5000) whereas Bitcoin still has at least 10x to go. It's about risk/reward.
