The desire to own large quantities of precious metals is definitely no more legitimate than the desire to own cryptocurrency.

  I disagree. In the very least, precious metals are shiny and dont rust. You can't wear crypto.

    It will look funny to wear gold bricks.

    Sure, but you can't transmit gold cheaply and frictionlessly across national boundaries.

  Precious metals have a very long history of protecting against inflation risk, which is why many investors own them. Crypto currency is not anywhere near that category because they haven't been around even 20 years and the prices suffer from severe instability.
