I would say crypto would be the better bet. Gold is just hard to carry around, hard to divide, and easy to steal. Crypto on the other hand is easy to carry, easily divisible, and nearly impossible to steal if you have some basic knowledge of computer security or even just some good ol' common sense.

Gold is never a bad thing to hold though. Personally, I'd like to start buying some gold and silver to stow away just in case it ever is needed for some reason.

Try to hold both if possible. I'd go 50/50 or 70/30 cypto/gold.
