To each his own - gold as an addition is okay but the return is simply too low and I see much more opportunities with shares and etfs. Most of the time gold moves sideways and when things are going well it is just about protected against inflation - with the exception of the last few weeks. Personally, I wouldn't weight it higher than 5%, just like crypto.

@Aktienboy Have you seen the performance since 2000?

@goebi22 Of course I did, but have you seen the performance from 2011 onwards, for example, it would have been dead money for over 10 years. As I said, it's always a matter of opinion if you feel comfortable with it, then everything is fine. For your information, from 1970 to 2020, gold had a real return (after deducting inflation) of 3.8% - the msci world was already a little stronger.
