In this episode, Philip and Scott Schamber discuss: 

• Gold as a crisis hedge
• Protecting your assets
• Preserving your wealth against volatility and uncertainty

Key Takeaways:

• Gold is historically significant and has been used as money since the ancient times. Its scarcity makes it a reliable store of value. Physical gold can be useda as a crisis hedge, especially in times of economic uncertainty. 
• Diversify your portfolio and have assets outside your home country as a safety measure against political concerns and civil unrest. Stay informed about potential economic and political changes and have a backup plan to preserve your wealth. 
• Gold can be used as a downside protection in a diverse investment portfolio. There is a huge difference between investing in physical gold and using EFTs or mutual funds that invest in precious metals. Having physical gold is good for long-term wealth preservation and to hedge against market volatility and economic uncertainty. 

“Gold has been money for 6000 years. There's only so much amount of gold - it will always have value.” - Scott Schamber
