Answer:
Ismene reveals that she helped Antigona to entertain her brother. Upon hearing this, Creon states that he will condemn Antigone and Ismene to death.
Explanation:
Etéocles and Polinices are brothers and caused the death of the other in a battle. They are also brothers of Antigone and Ismene, who want the brothers to have a dignified funeral and burial. However, Creotes decrees that it is forbidden for Polinices to have a burial, or for any official funeral, but Eteocles is allowed to have a dignified burial. Antigona refuses to obey Creontes and decides that burying her Polynesic brother calls Ismene to do so, but Ismene refuses to participate.
Antigone is caught in the act, and Creon decides to call the two sisters to justify himself. At that moment, Ismene feels that she will not let her sister be punished alone and says that she helped her in the funeral of Polinices. Upon hearing this, Creon states that the two are sentenced to death.
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
