There are many benefits that come with diversifying a retirement account with gold or Bitcoins (or other cryptocurrencies).
Gold is an extremely reliable and solid way to store money, since it's a way to safeguard possessions by protecting one's buying power/conditions (gold is not affected by devaluation the way regular currencies are).
Bitcoins and other cryptos may also seem as an alternative to regular retirement fund options or even gold, but it ain't (at least for now). Even though cryptocurrencies are still very unstable (monetarily speaking), they are (or were according to some experts) a way to store and easily transfer money anywhere. They are very promising in terms or transfers, safety measures (crypto-exchanges and users can get hacked, but the cryptos themselves operate in a relatively safe way), and even though it may be a way to earn some extra money (through trading/speculation), they are not comparable to gold when it comes to monetary safety (stability); that's why they might be a good investment option but the investor must be extra careful about putting a large portion of their retirement fund into them.
In other words, Gold is mainly reliable and stable (a way to protect you buying power and worry less about inflation/devaluation), and Bitcoins are an opportunity to make more money and a reliable and cheap way to transfer money anywhere
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
2. (RL.2.4) Read the excerpt from the passage from " “By Any Other Name” by Santha Ramu Rau
“‘Come along,’ she said, frowning slightly. ‘What’s your name, dear?’‘I don’t know.’ I said flatly.”
How does the Rau’s word choice impact the meaning of the passage?
a.It reveals the language barrier that exists between the British and Indian people.
b.It conveys the teacher’s disinterest in her Indian students.
c.It highlights the loss of identity felt by the Indian people.
d.It affirms that the British people are superior to the Indian people
Answer:
c.It highlights the loss of identity felt by the Indian people.
Explanation:
“By Any Other Name" portrays the loss of the essence of indigenous individuals when forced to live in British "reformatorios", where they were forced to use Christian names and assume British customs seen as correct and civilized. In the excerpt shown in the question above, we see that one of the "teachers" of the reformatorio asks an indigenous girl what her name is. The girl was taught not to use her indigenous name anymore, what makes her confused about what name she has and who she really is.
The author's choice of words for this passage highlights the loss of identity felt by the indigenous people.
