Gold and BTC are not suitable for emergency funds: liquidty, low volatilty and easy access is what you are looking for.

  In a highly inflationary environment, low volatility simply means you get burned. OP is asking how to avoid exactly this.

    Having emergency funds in highly volatile assets simply means you get rekt in an emergency.
