Why Does Shawn Ryan Pick Cash Over Cryptocurrency and a Rolex Watch Over Cash?
Shawn Ryan picks cash over cryptocurrency for the exact same reasons as the silver choice. Everybody knows what a greenback is across the globe, and not everybody knows what cryptocurrency is yet. A larger amount of cryptocurrency can be carried than cash, because cryptocurrency fits in a phone. Shawn Ryan would still pick cash, because a greenback is already understood across the globe.
The Rolex watch versus cash is the toughest choice of the set. Shawn Ryan would go with the Rolex watch rather than carry the equivalent amount of cash all the time. The cash is a substantial amount, and the preference is to have the value on the wrist. Some cash still gets carried, just not as much, because everybody speaks greenback and everybody knows a greenback.
Any of the items might get the result. There is no single right answer, and picking a different item does not make the reasoning wrong. Shawn Ryan is offering one line of reasoning in a critical thinking exercise.
