That's a risk, for sure. I'm sticking with the real shiny, the hard metal. Weeks like this last one do not phase me. The stock market could crash 20% in a day, and I just laugh at it - because my stack (760 oz. and counting) does not get any lighter. Cryptos are WAY too volatile for my liking. If I was going to make a speculative play, I'd get on E-Trade and buy some stock in First Majestic, US Gold Corp, and a very few other mining stocks that I've been looking at. They'll fly high with the coming crash - and the crash is here, it's gaining speed, and it's still a long ways to the bottom.

IMHO, cryptos are not behaving anything like a "store of value." They are a speculation, and inherently risky. If you think you can ride out the roller-coaster that is here, go ahead and be my guest. I'm not going to sell my metals for anything until it's time for me to buy a ranch house, and move out of town. I'm tired of being surrounded by pot-smoking low-lifes.
