Bitcoin or gold in my pension?
Is it time to allocate some gold in your pension? And with bitcoin becoming available again in the UK – should that be in the mix too?
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.
Watch the full video below, or on YouTube.
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?

Edmund Greaves perspective on incorporating gold and potentially bitcoin into his pension strategy is quite thought-provoking. I appreciate how he elaborates on the rationale behind allocating to gold as a hedge against economic downturns, especially given the current economic climate. The idea of considering physical bullion adds a traditional yet effective dimension to the discussion. However, the inclusion of bitcoin as a modern alternative asset is a bit more complex for me to grasp. While I understand the potential of bitcoin, its high volatility and regulatory uncertainties make it a risky choice for a pension investment. Overall, the podcast provides valuable insights, but I would have liked to hear more about the practical challenges of integrating these assets into a pension portfolio.
