RE: FIVE DOLLARS VERSUS FIVE DOLLARS - WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE? ... IN 1964? ... IN 2018?

Choosing the 2018 scenario: I would choose the crypto. Most likely the Steem. Silver is good to have as it can go up (if they ever let go!) and it can go down. Fiat is just that-worthless paper backed by nothing. The crypto market is an unknown variable, but given the fact we kind of do digital money now with debit cards (again, fiat backed) I believe crypto will be the future norm. Logically though you still might need a little of all of it just to keep your options better spread. 😊

Very Logical Response. I completely agree that a little of it all may be the best option. I would add that we need the ability to move quickly in and out of those options. For example, if silver was going to back currencies again, then we need the ability to acquire silver and store it securely. If it is a crypto that takes off, then we need the ability to buy / sell it, so be sure to have crypto accounts on various crypto exchanges.

Thanks!! It gives a whole new meaning to “juggling your finances” lol!

I agree that crypto will likely be the norm in the future, but seriously, $50 in STEEM is likely to be worth considerably more in the future, whereas $50 in dollars is likely to be worth far less, if not actually worthless.

Therefore, I think spending dollars while saving and investing in STEEM, and silver, is a far better option.

Steem is definitely a great investment!!

Indeed it is! ;-)
