With economic storm clouds on the horizon and Governments printing their money into oblivion, Mouthy Money podcast host Edmund Greaves is taking a big step with his pension investing - he’s getting into gold and maybe bitcoin too. He explains to co-host Chris Tuite why he’s allocating some of his money into gold as a hedge against the economic malaise, why he’s considering physical bullion and where bitcoin could now slot into his defensive plans when it becomes available again in the UK after 8th October. We want your views on Edmund’s choices. Is gold a good place to be? Or should he be in bitcoin as the world’s most modern alternative asset?
