Saving = keeping money safe and handy Investing = putting money at some risk in order to grow it You are suggesting “safe” is a simple binary, I am saying it’s a spectrum, and honest people can disagree about what is “safest” Holding Bitcoin, for example, is not an investment, because it has no chance of growing. Holding it in self-custody means that is handy and safe (no other person can reassign it without the private keys) I get that you feel holding gold is the safest form of savings, and that’s a totally valid opinion. But pretending it’s the *only* form of savings that can be considered “saving” when billions of people are actively using other things to save is just retrofitting definitions to fit your opinion
