Two points,
1. I'm pretty sure Atkinson's wouldn't be a big fan of this post anyway.
2. I for one would have more respect if you did post "everything you know" providing it was factual, better than posting innuendo imo

I don't look at it as Crypto vs Gold, I think it's better as Crypto and Gold.
Then the individual decides on their risk appetite and puts both into their portfolio in a % according to that risk appetite.
As long as the bulk of your fiat is tied into whatever you believe in, go for it, you could also include cars in the mix, some of those have grown in value nicely, heck I've even got a 1956 jukebox in our hallway I bought for £120 over 40 years ago - it's all about assets you can both enjoy and, with luck, seeing an increase in value is a great bonus. 

But that is not the question you were asking.
If there is something to buy, PM's could work but crypto could not. It would be impossible to buy something with crypto.

Gold is not reliant on electricity or a web connection.
In an electricity blackout, or global internet outage, crypto is completely useless.
Gold is physical and can be traded without technological barriers.

I have to respond to this. Some very good points, and some I have a differing opinion on.
As a store of value - I too think this is a fallacy. You could stamp your seed phrase into a chunk of metal, and your crypto is then physical. 
As a static or dynamic entity - the thing with this is, crypto projects are not physical and therefore can change. Ethereum by timescale of invention may be like the floppy disc, but it is now nothing like it was when first released, it is a totally different beast. And will be even more different when ETH2.0 arrives next year. It is not a fixed invention, it is constantly upgradable. Even BTC has a taproot upgrade later this year, which is an evolution albeit not a spectacular as some others. But BTC is BTC, and will always be king in my opinion. There is no need to "replace" any crypto with something better, as they can evolve themselves to become that something "better".
As a method of transacting - whilst I agree crypto falls short against Fiat in some scenarios, it does not in others. Transportability is an issue for Fiat, there are cross-border limits, and high fees when sending across the world. There is also time, Fiat is particularly slow due to the middlemen that need to be involved. Using Bitrefill, you can practically pay for anything with crypto. You also have to think about anonymity here. I know cash is anonymous, but it's not easy when the person isn't standing in front of you, and the vast majority of people are far more cashless than they once were. I could send BTC to anybody anywhere in the world right now, and I could do it for practically free (depending on what crypto you send) and nobody would know about it or have any involvement / control over it.
Online vs offline - completely agree with crypto being generally useless here, but PM's are too. Nobody I know even knows the value of gold, and fuel / food / water would be far more valuable in a SHTF scenario.
As far as your final statement goes, I couldn't agree more. Don't choose between, have exposure to all three and you can't really go wrong.

Hi, I am Jack Carpenter’s granddaughter. He sadly passed away in 1996 and the business had fallen through a bit before that, I think, but I’m glad you’re enjoying his work. 
I work under the name May Andrews in Beckenham. His daughter, Jackie Andrews, is also an artist.

One of those toss pots who went intending to cause problems.   Should be charged with wasting police time also.   

That's the attraction

I also hold crypto, and have sold partial profits for gold a few times.
I'm a BTC / ETH / ADA / Algo man myself.

Give me strength...
If you give poor people money, they will always be poor. If you give unemployed people money, they will always be unemployed.
The only people who will do well out of this are McDonalds, Imperial Tobacco, Golden Wonder and Coca Cola.
 
 

Postie brought me a present today.....



Advertised as having very minor milk spots, but they ended up being on the capsules, the coins are absolutely mint!!!

Not bad for under £20 a coin.

I would have bypassed this series if I hadn't have seen them at such a good price, but I'm glad I did now. Very nice coins and designs indeed.

Well we are not in the EU anymore.........So no worries for us 😄

As I said on the other thread, they are absolutely gorgeous.

I'm glad I didn't start collecting proofs though at those prices.

Worth the money by the looks of them.

A bit of fun.  

For the next large TSF prize draw to advertise and bring awareness of the forum, which will be in around a month or two. Should we double the prize and have 2x 5oz silver bars up for grabs, 2 different winners each winning a 5oz silver bar. If you think we should then like this post. 

If this post gets 100+ likes we will give away 2x 5oz silver bars. (I have set this target deliberately low so that it is easily obtainable)

If this post reaches 200+ likes, we will add a small bonus
