Odaily Planet Daily News Analyst and writer Marcel Pechman discussed whether Bitcoin is safer than the US dollar. Pechman predicted that if the US debt defaults, investors' allocation to gold will be 10 times that of Bitcoin due to the lower market value and higher volatility of cryptocurrencies. On the positive side, 11% of retail investors will add Bitcoin to their portfolios in the event of a government shutdown, while the proportion of gold is 46%. (Cointelegraph)
