>>1227876If you want something that will act as both a hedge and an investment (although more of the latter), do some research into cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is the most stable of the bunch and is practically a brand name by itself so even though the tech is old it still will stick around for years by word of mouth. Etherium will give higher gains and is the second most stable, but that might change in a few years with many of its more nimble competitors. I will warn you that Bitcoin only works as a hedge with a strong black market and a partial country collapse (ala Venezuela) instead of a full on collapse of the whole western world. I would say that you should put in just as much into Bitcoin and cryptos as you do in precious metals. And never ever trust mainstream media or /biz/. Except if /biz/ shills LINK. DYOR.
