Gold vs. Bitcoin as an Investment - What’s Better?

If you had to invest strictly either in bitcoin or gold for next 15 years, what would it be?

Bitcoin:

It has been around for more than 6 Years. Faced all scam news, accusation and what not still always managed to make a comeback. It has a growing market cap of over 16.5 billion USD today. Demand is increasing an the supply of bitcoin will soon cease to grow. It cannot be duplicated unless someone invents a quantum computer to do so and BTW bitcoin is patch-able so it can improvise.


Gold:

It has been around for more than centuries. Trusted from era of human culture. Its estimated that the market cap of gold is 7.3 trillion USD (This more than 400 times the market cap of bitcoin today) so it far from oblivion. Gold is indeed limited and cannot be duplicated unless we invent a sustainable hadron collider in next 15 years.


What would it be?

Considering this survey is being conducted on a bitcoin forum, the results might hold prejudice.
Vote your choice above and justify it below!

If I had to choose between investing in Gold or Bitcoin for the next 15 years I would definitely choose Bitcoin as there so much room left to grow for it. Also I have this belief that bitcoin and cryptos are the currencies of the future.
Gold is more for saving purposes as fiat currencies tend to devaluate over the years due to inflation and other economic factors. So my choice is definitely bitcoin. But in real world situation I would invest 60% in bitcoin and 40% in Gold.  ;)

I think it would still be gold as there is still practically more uses for gold than bitcoins. If the whole internet just suddenly goes out and never comes back then bitcoin is gone too! Unlike gold would still be here regardless of what happens to the internet. So that is why gold is stil much more secure than bitcoins. Though in bitcoins if you are a risk taker then you would get a chance to double or triple your money.

I still prefer gold. Gold is a material and world is yet to understand the proper concept of Digital Gold ( Bitcoin ) unless they ( majority ) are not going to get involve with bitcoin and use bitcoin as currency for all the transactions. Gold remain shine.

Lets see the future. I hope one day Bitcoin will become another Shining Gold.  ;D

By the way my 80% earning is in Bitcoin now .. but still for bread i have to convert it into Fiat.

Bitcoin is definitely worth the risk than gold at the same time bitcoins also enable me to profit large amount of money in just a shorter period of time than Gold ! I can't think of any reason for myself why choose Gold rather than bitcoins maybe because Gold is the "Old trend" and Bitcoin is the "new trends " nevertheless in any of the two I will pock the most profitable and for now it is Bitcoin!

bitcoin and gold. i can not choose only one of them.
bitcoin for obvious reasons and the fact that it can go up a lot in the following years because of its mass adoption.

and gold because i can easily buy and hold it and be sure that it is not going to lose much value even if price goes down.

and also altcoins. but the difference is that i never hold altcoins, i just trade them short term.

If you just want to invest and leave it completely without monitoring daily/weekly price, than its better to invest in GOLD which will have most stable price and will tend to increase to counter devaluation of fiat. It can be safe place to invest if you don't like to take risk of loss on economic crisis.

On other hand bitcoin is much more attractive than gold, its price is more volatile creating great opportunity for daily/active traders to earn profit on every price swing. So the one who will be able to keep checking price and can do active trading investing in bitcoin is wise decision.

For me bitcoin is better than gold to invest/trade.

the answer is easy, and you don't have it in your options.
All of the above.

nobody said you have to choose only one. bitcoin price is a good thing because it is not known to everyone and still small but has a great potential of growth and this potential is showing itself every year. soon a great number of people will know it and start investing in bitcoin and that is the time when bitcoin price no longer goes up $10-$50 at time but it goes up $500 each time and reaches a $5000+ price.

and gold is obviously a good choice and you said most of the reasons for it. and it has been a reliable investment. we have these gold coins in our country that you can buy and easily store.

and on top of all these i also prefer trading altcoins for some small investment for short term in order to make some good money out of it.

We are now in the era of digitization, so technology related assets will get more importance than the commodity or metal based assets which has a standard value and will be stable forever with very small percentage of growth. For the needy ones bitcoin and other virtual currencies are the only hope than gold. Now bitcoin acceptance is low, soon people will turn from gold towards bitcoin.

   All of the above is best answer, its not important what will you choose its important to choose the right time for trade. All investments can be profitable, and in how many investments you have your fingers in that is better.

You are absolutely right. If wisely to buy and sell, all investment methods are very good. It is best to invest simultaneously in several objects. This will protect you from the risks

Actually it's depends how you want to take a kind of a risk, gold and bitcoin, both is the best investment so far, bit the risk make them different, obviously bitcoin have high risk, instead the profit is high too. Comparing with gold price recently the price reached $1,200+ with stable movement it's good to use as a long term investment with low risk.

Personally I choose both, but more keep bitcoin, it's have a surprise market and I loved a surprised.

I haven't tried to invest on gold and even had an idea regarding to the investment with gold but If I had to choose between the two I think it would be much better to invest with bitcoin nowadays although the gold is also promising but I think bitcoin would have much great movement to its price so for the people who are aiming for profit it will be good for them as well as for the long term investors .

I voted for 'company stock' because that's where I have most of my money,  and this topic has been done to death.  There are probably 100 duplicate threads about this just in the last year.  This is a bitcoin forum, so obviously people are going to be biased towards bitcoin.  OP doesn't really want the answer to this,  else he would have done some browsing on this forum.

For me it's gold. Gold has never lost its value since centuries and will never even lose its worth. Bitcoins have lost its value over time in the span of 6-8 years compared to the gold rates.

Even though now taxes will be applied on the gold we own and buy, it's still considered a metal that has a high value. Bitcoins aren't taxed till they are not converted into fiat currency.

Gold an investment that is not affected by inflation as it may be bought in any currency but it is sold at the current rate in your own currency. Bitcoins are limited in supply and with many coins getting lost, there are less coins in circulation.

If I would have an opportunety to chose I would invest some % of my monthly salary as in bitcoin as in gold. It may be reasonable to keep a small portion of wealth in gold as a hedge against the collapse of the national currency and other unexpected tragedies. Gold is able to resist inflation for a long time, preserving the richness, though not increasing it. I believe, is to place 1-2% of the funds in bitcoin and store them, hoping that they will continue to grow.

gold is a good investment too, but it will be profitable if we hold it in a period of time, but do not in a long period of time while bitcoin is good investment for a long period of time because it will give more profit.

so if we talk about 15 years, I prefer bitcoin than gold as an investment

You should also remember on a thing that bitcoin prices also moves faster in down word as well not only in up direction. So it is called a high-risk investment. But gold moves slow and study in both ways, and that's is it is a very attractive investment for many years or decades. I have invested in both products. More money in gold and less in bitcoins.

The risk is higher with bitcoin but the reward can be bigger too. An investment in gold is usually done for a long term period like 10 years, not 1 year. While Bitcoin can be an investment for 1 year you can get the same profit than gold with 5 years... but you can also lost your initial investment, at least some percentages. So i would say it's depend on the long run. For a long period i prefer gold but for a short period i prefer bitcoin

is crazy compare investment gold, bitcoin, or altcoin until reach next 15 year
bitcoin and altcoin is not longterm project investment,nut shorterm investment profit must selling, if you want hold coin maximum and good 1 year
if compare hold until reach 15 year, or investment wait until 15 year can't comparation and not good comparation

If you look at the history of bitcoin, you know that bitcoin at the end of 2013 - perhaps in early 2014 - has been equivalent to gold. But in addition, bitcoin also has the property of gold: divisibility, like gold, like a scarcity. Bitcoin is also easy to transfer. If I want to give you a piece of gold, then it will be very difficult. But if I want to send you the same value of the level of storage bitcoin, I can quickly complete. So I think this is the value of the new era of storage.
With the increasing demand for bitcoin, the value of this digital currency will exceed gold

I'm also with bitcoin, the reward will be much higher with the same amount of investment, yeah if it will go down you will lose everything etc, but at today the possibility of gain are higher than the opposite, much higher and the market speak for itself

gold on the other hand will stay there forever and probably will never return to its peak, but you can do both if you really fear about bitcoin going down for whatever reason

That depends on what you want to achieve. If you want long term investment. I will choose gold. Gold is  the most valuable metal on earth which used for many centuries.  Also the price is very stable. Bitcoin is good for short term. Its for short term because we cant say that bitcoin will survive for many years. But still you can earn from it in just a short period of time. Unlike gold, it takes long time to increase its value.

Gold for long term / safe investment (of course if you dont buy it too expensive). Bitcoin for smaller / riskier / possibly more profitable investment, and altcoins for playing with fire and possible enourmous profit, if you have much luck to buy low and sell much higher.

I feel bitcoin still has enough space to grow and that would in long term beat outturn of gold.

we have to admit that bitcoin is the new era of money. The more you invest money in it, the more profit you can have. In about 10 years later, you will see that bitcoin prices will increase significantly because the number of Bitcoin users rise and there are not enough Bitcoin to supply to all of them. Gold is good but it is too stable. The gold prices can not increase double after a year. This process have to take at least five decades for gold to double its own prices. Therefore, Bitcoin is better

You have posted this poll in a bitcoin forum which most of the answers will that bitcoin worth more to invest rather than gold, I have voted for bitcoin because I think it has a more potential to get more profit because the price within few years changes very much comparing to gold which I think is more stable.

that's right with bitcoin there's still a lots of things that can happen with its value unlike gold even we can consider it as a stable in terms of price which can only make some downfall but the rise won't be like bitcoin that possible to keep making some double year after year i prefer to consider bitcoin even in the long run and with this fluctuations also better to make some shorting as buy and sell.

I have both bitcoin and stock right now, plus some mutual funds on the side. Comparing the performance of the three investments over the past month, I would say that bitcoin has given me the most return. I have a mixed bags of stocks where some are in the green while others are in the red, while my mutual fund has underperformed for some time now. As much as I want to increase my bitcoin holding, I am still a bit careful knowing that it is the most volatile of the three.

I believe in investment you mean profit of course. If we look statistics, we can see that aim of bitcoin is to rise it's price but it's happening in different way, once it's low, than suddenly rises, than smally low and continues etc but now we see stable higher prise.
Gold isn't for profitable investment, it's like converting paper money into gold, only very small profit even with millions.

Gold is more stable but bitcoin is more likely to get you rich in the long run.

That makes sense, also while one is a raw material which can be used in various manufacturing processes, the other is a representation of a value that can be to some extent very secure and very easy to transfer, However it should not be forgotten that there are some other metals for example that although they are not so popular have high commercial value, besides I guess the question in the title is related to which is better as a form of investment, and I suppose the answer favors the second if you compare the growth it  had lately, but it does not mean that one disarticulates the other since their uses have been and will continue to be very different, in addition the conditions of one and the other considering the time that has elapsed are very different.

Just compare the rate of increase in the Bitcoin and Gold for the last two years. Gold is almost stable and not much big movements. Good for keeping it forever.  ;D
While Bitcoin give u quick profit after every 2 ,3 months. Buy bitcoins, wait for the pump in 2 ,3 months, Sell at high and then again buy at low.  Lots of profits for real time traders in bitcoins and Gold Good for passive traders who are not much active.

I would buy gold because of its stable price.I would like to invest in bitcoin but i am afraid of being banned in the future in some countries.Maybe Investment = 80%*Gold + 20*Bitcoin

I personally believe that the price of bitcoin in the future will be 1500$

I would still choose Bitcoin, it maybe the gold is the old trend but we are in the generation of the new technology in our time now. Gold nowadays is not practical at all, also not people are able to have it. Unlike bitcoin is very open to anyone whether the person is poor or wealth type just you understand what bitcoin is, then you can have it in your way. Gold is touchable while Bitcoin is untouchable but they are both had their value to the community in the whole world now.

For the next 5 years I will make bitcoin as choice investment, can't argue with that bitcoin is the most profitable investment at this time. And it looks like profit trend will continue for the foreseeable future.

I give my vote in gold investment,why? because gold is really rare physical and no one can reproduce gold.

I will invest in bitcoin as long as it is available, plus the OP didn't mention storing
it for 15 years which is stupid if he did. :D

That means I can use bitcoin the way I want it, may it be on business or just investing on
other things using bitcoin, investing and gaining profit quickly at same time bitcoin is the
best candidate out of the four choices you gave. :D

Gold is a great investment for storing and not worrying too much about the price.

Company stock is a great way too, although I have too little knowledge about it. :D

I agree, gold has a more stable price than bitcoin, with bitcoin you could find yourself a millionaire at any time in near future so you have to keep an easy on it every moment and then to ensure that you don’t lose, but gold on the other hand has a relatively stable price which makes it a good long term investment, but definitely no quick returns will be possible.

When compared to bitcoin, gold is very good investment because gold is always stable and is being used and support by all the governments. But where as bitcoin is completely volatile currency and is not a stable. Gold is better investment when compared to bitcoin.

May be for gold to bitccoin it is still possible thing to do, but for altcoin I dont really think that it has a chance to be compared to both of them. If I were asked to choose I will rather do both of them. Since gold price will kepp on increasing and in bitcoin we can earn through many ways. So I will do both, let say if bitcoin price is down, it does not matter for me too because it is just like free money. Gold is more valuable because you really need to stacking up for it and you cant get it just by using some faucet or even campaign

Update to 1 years ahead I won't buy gold and all funds will I switch to investing bitcoin. many people say that the best is the year 2016 for bitcoin, but I'm still convinced that the price of the year 2017 will be better than the year 2016.

Both are good investment place, although the volatility has provided by bitcoin is much better comparing with gold, but I can't choose the better investment gold or bitcoin. because I use both of them to invest my money.
It's so difficult to choose, or the companies stock is much better than it.

For me I wanted to choose both they are good in profit and depending on how you are going to put effort in it.

But it seems that these 2 investments doesn't need to have that type of effort that you need to do because even you just hold for a longer time.

These two can be a good investment.

This is a difficult choice, both have their own interests. Currently the price of  Bitcoin  has now returned steady above $ 1000 and probably will rise further. Gold still remained at the price is $ 1,133. Shortly after the US presidential election end, the price of gold has been plummeted while Bitcoin prices higher. Throughout the years, gold has always been considered an asset valuable storage and safest. However, with the current economy, especially the introduction of the Bitcoin, maybe this should be reconsidered. Both gold and Bitcoin are long-term investments, gold was selected because they are a valuable commodity throughout the history of man. Although the price of gold to fall, but it is still a very good investment channel. Dong Bitcoin was selected by the ability to increase its value through technological advances of Bitcoin.
Given the choice I would choose both but only one, I will choose Bitcoin, I believe that Bitcoin will also develop further.

agree. but they just differ on one thing, Gold has a physical value and never be vanish or destroy while bitcoin is just a crypto currency that anytime, there is a possibility to collapse and loss.
They both have same behavior in terms of it's price, But i choose bitcoin even if it is a risky investment, because there is a lot of potential profit out of it rather than gold

I choose bitcoin for right now, I mean shot time investments I use it for trading altcoins
after getting profit from trading altcoins,
I will put the money on gold for long time investments and it is working,
I am looking for profit and my wife bought gold from my profit.

gold was already exist before century and if for long term investment for next 50-60 years i think gold is the best options and bitcoin on those years i don't know would still valuable or not so if i may to choose i think i would choose gold because for long term investment i would not make experiment

Since there is only one to vote then I voted only for bitcoin since the investment has more opportunity to gain profit.

I would vote also for Altcoins because there is a huge opportunity to gain profit if we are lucky but at the same time it is much riskier than bitcoin.

We have already discussed this topic before and I think bitcoin is always better than gold when it comes to the investment because of the proven track record (not everyone purchase gold for the sake of investment and not everyone purchase bitcoin just because it is amazing technology to use) so while considering overall picture, I would prefer bitcoin for the purpose of investment.

In terms of short term profit, I'll pick Bitcoin because we can see on the price chart or the history chart that the price of bitcoin already rises up and it seems that it is being stable for this moment but we can expect both price increase or decrease because it is always depend on the scenarios that are going on or the news that will be release that is related on Bitcoin.

In terms of long term profit (Like 20 years above), I'll pick Gold because it is stable and we already know that the price is expensive and after a few years it will increase as the supply is already experiencing a shortage which makes the price high, So how come after 20 years? Just think about that ;;).

It's Bitcoin any day because comparatively Bitcoin has soared higher in exponential figure since 2016 unlike gold which went up a few times and the fact that Bitcoin halves and creates demand from time to time I will rather feel safe in investing in Bitcoin than gold.

Right now according to the price of both gold and bitcoin. Bitcoin has more value when compared to gold, but gold is running from decades and is consistently running from many years.  But right now i am concentrating on both of the investments because gold is always stable with prices so it is going to be my long term investment but where as bitcoin is in volatile condition, So it will give some profits on daily trading.

Bitcoin is become a next gold in internet, it is more simple, easy be used for transaction
bitcoin can become next new currency in internet,
bitcoin is always better than gold in internet, so bitcoin is best investments in internet and
gold is best investments in real life.

We are in bitcoin and well say that bitcoin will always be the best investment. But for me, it's good if you are able to have both investments. Because if you are an optimistic investor you'll find both as good investment and that will give you profit .

yes both of them are really good but in terms of high possibilities its much better to have bitcoin for now as the value keeps on arising and its not really on peak yet unlike gold that's already been determine the value and the fluctuation is not really big, bitcoin can be double or more in the coming future ahead if adoptions will be more successful.

I'm confused - is the question Gold vs. Bitcoin or is Gold vs. Bitcoin vs. Stock ?

If it's the former, I choose Bitcoin. If it's the latter I choose Stock.

Bitcoin may have a bigger growth potential but it's got a ton of risk associated with it. Stocks are more stable, regular, annual growth. Less risk. You gotta have both.

And in my experience we all experience 2 or 3 change-the-world type of movements in business or industry. Bitcoin is one of those movements. And with those movements come opportunity to get involved, get a piece. So for that reason I'll be in on this thing until it fails. And I hope we're all wildly successful.

Would completely rather have gold, I know people on here are going to be a bit biased based on the simple fact that we're on a site about the niche community that bitcoin has but I'd rather be able to fully hold what I own and know that I can secure it and all. The part that it's been used as currency for most of Civilization is an obious plus sign based on the fact that if FIAT currencies die out Gold will probably be the next to take over.

You can't just compare something that's been out for 8 years and something that's been trades for PRETTY MUCH ALL OF CIVILIZATIONS TIME it just doesn't make sense. You're comparing apples to oranges, compare apples to apples buddy.

1 if you want very fast grow youre money but high risk you can altcoin investment, high profit and high risk
2 if you want high profit and fast grow money but medium or low risk you can bitcoin investment
3 in gold investment low risk and low profit

I obviously would want to have both bitcoin and gold but for now I'm mostly focusing on bitcoin. Provided you know how to keep it safe it would be hard for people to take it from you. Since you can keep large amounts of money digitally you also are somewhat your own bank. The large price jumps is the primary lure of bitcoin though. Bitcoin bought when it was first introduced would have doubled its value in comparison to fiat by now.

Of course there are issues like a possible total collapses, hacking and government crack down and it'd probably be safer to also have investments outside cryptos.

If i were to choose between bitcoin and gold, I will choose bitcoin for now over gold since it's price is more volatile than gold. I will gain more profit on bitcoin because it got more of the price changes. Just to be on the safe side though, I would also like to invest in gold so that even if the other ends as failure, I have another to turn into since it is not wise to put all your eggs in one basket.

When it comes to choosing between Gold and bitcoin, I had no doubt that Gold was really ancient a thousand of that has been used by our ancestors actually, it maybe increase weekly but its only s mall percentage value of gold unlike in bitcoin because of it volatility the chances of getting profit was very more advantage than a gold, the growth earnings in bitcoin was too fast unlike in gold was too slow though it will surely get high.

Maybe if I was allowed to choose both I would choose both, because gold and bitcoin can get a good profit. But because you say for next 15 years, I prefer gold. For a time during it, investment in gold I think is better because gold has been around a long time and price tends to rise each year. Besides the performance of gold is more stable than bitcoin, so gold is the best choice for a period as long as it (15 years).

Assuming long term investment, I'd go for stocks.
 
If you have enough money and are sure you won't need it in a hurry then I've heard that buying and renting houses is profitable, but you'll make bigger profits if you get involved in looking at properties before you buy, fixing them up before you rent them, and doing some of the maintenance yourself, as well as collecting the rent. If you just hire a company to do all this for you, they will eat up most of your profits.
 
Most people don't need gold. If you've got lots of money, and don't want inflation or crisis to erase all your assets, then you might want to buy some gold.

And I would invest in bitcoin for short term like for two years maximum.

As per diversifying rule,l I am also preferring to hold my investments in both gold and bitcoin, still I want to go more with bitcoin rather than just getting struck with an investment option like gold. Gold is probably the very old investment type, still its returns are not sufficient as per the demand now we are having for leading a life.

I guess to have better financial freedom in upcoming days, we must choose only bitcoin with long term plans.

If I have to choose between gold and bitcoin then my first choice would be go with bitcoin as it has ability to give me some best profits in short time and due to the price volatility I can make quick profits in short term which is simply impossible with gold.

Prejudice is unavoidable we are all biased toward something. If you would conduct this survey on gold holders forum or general investing forum the results would be different every time.
Most users of bitcointalk are after all bitcoin users or holders. It is only natural that bitcoin will win in every Poll. We still value a real commodity such as gold.
GOld is a solid investment, this asset won't be eaten by inflation as standard FIATs, but unlike bitcoin, gold don't have potential of making your rich in the long run.

Gold is definitely a widely accepted and time-tested investment avenue for many people over centuries. People with limited risk taking capability will definitely choose this investment over bitcoin because Gold price is not dynamic like bitcoin.

However, people with higher risk taking capability, will definitely choose bitcoin because of its dynamic price. Bitcoin can offer you a huge return over any other conventional investment avenue and people of younger age group likes that. because, they have longer time in hand compared to the aged people. For me, I would like to have good mix of both bitcoin and Gold. Probably 70% of the total investment in bitcoin and rest 30% in Gold.

Yes indeed gold is an investment that old and there are already more than 100 years, although it has been a long time I think it proves that gold is an investment that can survive very long and profitable. You're right, for financial freedom in the future maybe bitcoin right choice. We do not need the complicated requirements and simple, and of course we are free to manage investments. But I think both in the future still worth a try.

If you are looking for a short term plan investment then bitcoin is the way to go. But in the opposite if you are looking for a long term plan then gold is quite safe for this. Usually investing in gold is for long term of 10 years minimum. Also the ROI can be higher with bitcoin, considering the lengh of your plan. If i was going to choose, I would choose to mix both. Remember the golden rule, don't put all your eggs in the same shoes

I always trusted more that I can hold in my hands or see with my own eyes. Based on this personal rule, I believe that bitcoin is a means for earning, and gold is a means for investing earned money. The fact is that gold in any case will be in your pocket, and bitcoin has a risk.

Bitcoin,I only choose bitcoin.A few years ago, I invested in gold, resulting in a loss.Once bitten, twice shy.I will not invest in gold.

First of all, Bitcoin (BTC) is a completely new asset class, a completely new form of money (medium of exchange) and a completely new store of wealth. As such, it is durable, divisible, transportable and noncounterfeitable (cannot be easily duplicated). However, the main risk of BTC compared with gold is that BTC is brand new compared to gold. That is why, it is wise to invest in both BTC and gold.

Gold is a 'hard' store of value mechanism, this means you will not be victim of volatility or high speculation, even in the case of war you have only to physically protect your gold to preserve it, so I would choose a merge between both, a gold backed crypto currency to raise its store of value properties to a new level.

I would choose bitcoin since it could give me more returns than gold.Moreover,it operates on a secured block chain technology.i hope my bitcoin investment willnot be taxed rather than gold.I could easily transform my bitcoins to any parts of the world if needed and with gold,i couldnot.My bitcoin investment is safe unless i reveal my wallet password.

in my opinion Bitcoin better than gold as an investment, because we can know the approximate price let's think for 1 month, and look in predictions price most people are correct with their prediction . in this case look guy which his predictions is reliable and may be correct

How can you lose on gold? You are using gold as short term investment? I never saw someone losing on gold, unless they are not taking it as long term investment, compare to gold bitcoin is much more profitable if only you trade it. But for long term investment I will still prefer gold because gold have more stable price and keep increasing

Bitcoin the potential to increase is very high if you look the price of bitcoin thd price is very high they have to continously increase but investing in bitcoin is very risky because the price is increasing or decreasing compared to the gold the price is stable but the potentiL to increase your money is very little. Altcoin is the good choicr of investing because the price is little and you can wait onky to increase before you sell but be vigilant before buying altcoin do a research first.

bitcoin in all respect it's more mean for a long term investment not really short term, that belong to altcoin perhpas, it's very akin to gold they both shares the same property, but bitcoin carry more appetizing features

actually the rule about not pulling all the eggs etc.. is not always true, if you see an investment that can give you the same probability of success as another one why not investing it all there?

i see both gold and bitcoin very equal now, and it doesn't make sense to diversificate for the time being

I disagree, bitcoins are more on short term (like 5 years and far less). Gold is for long term as it does not really fluctuate. Bitcoins are good investments if you were able to buy it at lower prices and wait till it goes up then sell when it is about to go down again. I see a trend in bitcoin prices, usually it drops on one point then gradually goes up then a quick and sharp gain is observed before it plummets really low. When it does, that's the best time to buy.

I, however, agree with the statement "the rule about not pulling all the eggs etc.. is not always true." there are quite a lot of times that you could just place all your money in one thing that it will surely be earning. Bitcoins prove to be one of those things.

I think it depends on the our purpose, if I had the money then I'd be for 75% gold and 25% bitcoin. The thing that makes me hesitate choosing bitcoin is greater than gold is bitcoin still banned and yet it is used legally.

Bitcoin is still better than gold because it is very volatile to its price and that is good for people who are looking for fast profit kind of opportunity because of you are an active trader and you do short term investment then there will be a high chance for you to maximize your earnings with bitcoin.

In the other hand, gold is still the best if you are looking for at least 20 years term of investment because gold will always be one of the top in long term.

Bitcoin is far more better than gold.Gold has almost stable price and slight increase so you are just earning small while in bitcoins yes its price drops sometimes but thats the time you need to invest to gain profit when bitcoin price eventually rise up

I personally choose both, but more remains bitcoin, it got an unexpected surprise in the market and I love her crimped.

Actually both are good for an investment, but if you are looking for long term investment, my suggestion is invest on gold is better than bitcoin but if you want invest for short term, bitcoin is the best one because the price of bitcoin can easily increase and decrease in a short time and it's really good for short term.
