I’m about .04 BTC away from being a whole-coiner. Part of me feels like once I hit that milestone, I should start investing in gold, silver, etc. One the other hand, BTC has never let me down as long as I’ve continued to HODL. All my BTC purchases have been large singular purchases, and I have never DCA’d since starting in 2023, so that might still be an option for me.
Just wondering how many of you also “diversify” into other investments like precious metals or other tangible assets, and if it is a good move in the long run. Thanks!
How many of you invest in precious metals as well?

I bought a little gold the first time I bought Bitcoin (2017). The Bitcoin has vastly outperformed the gold.
I would put more money than that whole coin you are close to that Bitcoin far outpaces gold in the next 1-10 years.
As Buffet said.. “You know, we think diversification is—as practiced generally—makes very little sense for anyone that knows what they’re doing…it is a protection against ignorance.”
If you’re in this space, you know what you need to do – just do it.
Hard to say long run, but they’re actually up significantly since, say, Dec 18 2024. Feels overheated right now though.
I bought $500 of gold a little before it went crazy because why not, honestly I may just stick to BTC, Gold and QQQ/SPY
I hold gold and silver
Diversification is part of a good investment strategy, not just raw returns…
Same here grabbed a bit of both back in 2017. Let’s just say the gold’s been collecting dust while Bitcoin did all the heavy lifting
Yes, gold/silver, crypto, stocks and real estate are all a smart way to invest and be diversified.
All my High yield payout from MSTW are in gold(IAUM) until I’m sure the cycle is dead.
I’ve been DCAing BTC while my wife has been doing it for gold at lesser amount. Our portfolio has been good this year.
I hold some actual Gold and Silver but that’s it. Bought most of it about 10 years ago.
Staking sats forever. If you’re convinced on a protocol, why diversify? Diversification is a hedge against ignorance.
Yes, btc is the boring asset, but the actual wealth in history has a tendency to be boring. Once you’re a complete bitcoiner, you may want a cash producing asset. This is where decent commercial real estate comes into play. But if you don’t need monthly cash, keep buying btc. It’s going up forever. You should never ever touch your 1 BTC. That’s your generational wealth. However, you can be “somewhat” linent with sats over 1 BTC.
what’s the best way to get into bitcoin and precious metals?
If you have an entire coin and a good portfolio the next step is gold.
Diworsifcation is for the ones who are not sure.
Gold goes up, BTC goes down and vice versa. Don’t be the one lining up to buy gold at the top ATH.
Gold and silver.
Why would I believe in the properties of metals and not realize how bitcoin is better in every single way
Tungsten
Silver. Small buy yearly. 1 oz. Eagle for each child to give them when they turn 21. And a couple of ounces for myself for fun.
It’s fun having a mini treasure.
I have an emergency fund in silver (80% physical 20% allocated) and similar in cash, thinking about rebalancing soon.
I had some Gold Silver Pall till this Friday. Sold all of them and bought more BTC. Personall think there gonna be a rotation sooon. Time will tell.
Just magic internet monies
BTC only.
Go hard or go home
As soon as you have 1 you realize that if you ever spent any you’d have less than 1. So obviously you gotta get more So you can never spend the 1st.
I started buying mostly silver, and some gold, back in 2006. I’m keeping my government minted stuff (SAEs, Philharmonics, Libertads, Britannias, Kookaburras, etc.) but I’ve been selling off my generic shit the last few months.
I’ve been taking the profits and putting more than half back into bitcoin, and then some fun money for me.
Diversify. I bought metals back in 21. They’ve done well.
Some gold, a little silver, lots of lead and steel.
If I had a million dollars to invest I’d buy 2, maybe 2.5 bitcoin and the rest gold and silver
I’ve owned coins since the 80s. Pretty much like bitcoin. HODL until the end of the world.
I had been a silver stacker for years on top of crypto. Greatest investments I ever made
Portfolio is split between crypto and metals.
40% btc, 35% stock and 25% gold
I buy 24ct jewelery for me and my girl.
No, precious metals are weak sauce. I do like that you can cash out at your local gold/silver store, tax free but, otherwise, investing in precious metals doesn’t typically keep up with inflation.
yes
I started with gold silver n realestate. now moved onto stocks n mostly btc
I have about 10% of my assets in gold…90% BTC.
I have about 5% of my retirement accounts invested in $GLD. It was at about 5% back in the start of this year, and I’ve been selling tiny pieces as it’s gone up so much in the last few months that it’s still about 5% allocation. I might drop it down to 4% really soon.
I invest in gold miners . Has paid off fairly well
It’s much easier to carry Bitcoin!
Got a gold fund that’s blown up lately.
I’ve been stacking btc, gold, and silver and the last few years. It’s an amazing combination. However i dunno if i’d continue with the same mix currently, at least wait for dips or a bear market to buy (or tiny dca). Also look to invest in what’s currently boring and hated (oil, etc)
