Protect savings as a long-term store of wealth? No, probably not. However, I do believe one should have a certain store of tradable gold just in case things get really bad.

Have you seen some of the videos that came out within the last year or two where people living in war torn areas or places with near hyperinflation are trading gold for supplies? They were literally counting links on a gold chain and exchanging it for food. When there’s no electricity or no Internet there is a place for physical assets.

After taking the orange pill, I am transitioning my portfolioto look something like:

30% Bitcoin

30% Real Estate (paid off)

10% Stocks

10% livestock and farm implements

10% beans, bullets, bandaids, booze, generators, general preparedness stuff.

5% stuff I might be able to sell or trade: guns, tools, vehicles, etc.

2.5% physical gold and cash.

2.5% play money, this is for very high risk investments. Angel investing, hedge funds, peer-to-peer loans, etc.

Don’t just look at your life the way a financial planner would look at it. Look at your whole life and everything you own. You are more than your net worth.
