This seems a legitimate use of the funds and as it turns out about 25% of my $3K was spent on ETH, the portion that wasn't spent on gold. So we think alike. I like gold though, a lot. :)
And...Yeah, there's always going to be an expert who always knows better than lowly folk like us...Let's let them be them and we can be us. Seems simpler that way right?
Yeah I agree...I like gold, silver, Eth, and BTC (and Hive, of course). I'm not smart enough to outsmart the market, but I like being lazy and holding things long term. And I really like staking rewards.
Nothing wrong with long-term holds but...At my age long-term is shorter than most and so...I take a risk or two.
