Gold's price recently clearing $5,190 an ounce was an undeniable sign that investors everywhere are paying up for what they think is a safe asset. When that happens, safety gets awfully expensive, often to the point of making riskier assets with lower valuations look a lot more appealing.
On that note, many leading cryptocurrencies are currently priced a lot lower than in the recent past. Making a simple crypto portfolio centered around the "harder" assets might be a better option than piling into gold while it's richly valued. Let's explore that possibility and figure out how to implement it properly.
