“You can’t print more Bitcoin. You can’t create gold out of nothing. This scarcity is what people are looking for right now to protect themselves, so they’re referring to Bitcoin as digital gold.”
— Todd Graf, Scottsdale Bullion & Coin precious metals advisor

The more money the Fed prints, the greater the fervor around alternative assets: gold and silver and cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin.

It’s true. Unlike fiat currencies, gold and Bitcoin are scarce, but the similarities stop there, explain precious metals advisors Todd Graf and Damian White in the above video:

  • Gold’s been valuable for thousands of years. Bitcoin’s existed for ten.
  • Gold’s stored in secure depositories. Bitcoin lives in the digital ethers: one day it’s in your account and the next? Poof. Hacked. Your savings gone. It’s a real risk with the cryptocurrency.
  • You’ll always know where your gold is, but you might forget the password to your digital fortune.

Smart money investors like Warren Buffet buy gold. “‘Real money’— as JP Morgan calls it—hasn’t bought a single Bitcoin yet.”1

Diversification is no get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a long-term investing approach for wealth preservation. See how to protect your financial future with gold. Request your Free Gold IRA Guide now.

Diversification Is Not a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme | The Gold Spot

Confidence in the dollar falls every time another trillion in stimulus is printed, sending investors rushing into alternative assets. Wall Street heavy hitters like Warren Buffet and Jim Cramer are buying gold, and investors from Silicon Valley to the suburbs are jumping on the Bitcoin bandwagon.

How should you diversify your portfolio? Watch the video to see precious metals advisors Todd Graf and Damian White discuss the similarities and differences between gold and Bitcoin.

Whichever defensive assets you choose, don’t forget the cardinal rule of diversification: it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. When you’re mortgaging your house to go all in on an investment you—and government regulators—hardly understand, you’ve missed the point.
