I'm considering investing in gold and I'm wondering whether it's more advantageous to purchase gold bars or gold coins. I'd like to understand which option offers better value, liquidity, and overall investment returns.

Is it wiser to invest in a Bitcoin ETF or directly purchase Bitcoin? On one hand, a Bitcoin ETF offers the convenience of trading on traditional exchanges, potentially with lower fees and more regulatory oversight. However, does this convenience come with the cost of potentially diminished returns? ETFs may not fully capture the volatile nature and potential upside of the underlying asset. On the other hand, buying Bitcoin directly means owning the actual cryptocurrency, potentially enjoying higher returns but also exposing oneself to the risks of market volatility and potential hacks or scams. Which option offers a better balance between risk and reward? Could the answer depend on an investor's risk tolerance and investment goals?
