I buy physical gold coins from time to time. Unlike stocks and crypto, the value of gold is relatively stable. Investing in gold is a hedge against inflation. However, there are also times when the value of gold goes down. If you buy physical gold, you have to consider storage and security issues.

You are right, we don't just jump in to invest, we must always study the advantages and risks of each instrument that we will invest in, as stated by @Springtime, physical gold needs safe storage, one of which is by renting a safe deposit box at a bank that requires a rental fee.
