When I was 10 years old, my grandfather gave me a gold sovereign and told me never to sell it. 50 years later, I still have that sovereign.
Just the same coin as when I started. nothing in between, no rent, no interest, no dividends, nothing.
I wish he would have given me some shares in the FTSE 100. With 50 years of dividends at 4%, I think it would have done better than the gold.
Meanwhile, shall I give my grandchild that Sovereign, or shall I give him one-twentieth of a bitcoin?
