Bitcoin Forum

Nowdays, BTC become so popular. Some people didn't expect that the price will be so high.
But, can BTC survive in the next 10 or 15 years. Because 'maybe'  crypto currency just a trade mark for today and will be changed with other 'currency' next year.
And the price of BTC will be drop extremely.
As we know golds like a parameter to measure the inflation.
Price of golds always following the economy global changes.
Imagine if you have $ 1M, Which one you want to choose?

I think gold. Even if all the electronic and economic systems do not exist, there will be time for gold.

1 million dollars will I share:
50% btc
40% alt
10% gold
if I get a profit from any crypto investment, then I will reinvest it into gold or property.

I would name BTC as Digital Gold of 21th Century. The emission is limited - 21 mln BTC, The supply and demand are constantly growing during the years.
My choice for investments are BTC & Alts.

Gold is always in a safe harbor position. But BTC is always a revolution in terms of technology.

This question had been asked multiple times already,and people still asking it right now ?
you should have done the research first before asking this,
Gold and Bitcoin are completely different assets.
Bitcoin will be used as a digital currency and Gold will be used as a jewelry(most people use gold as this).
so why would you compare it to one and another ? Bitcoin has its own uses,so is gold.

90% of your money risking in high-risk investments. At least for me, it is not a wise investment decision. Because we need to allocate less money to high-risk investments and more money in more stable investments.

Currently, the crypto market condition is not so good. I will invest more than 70% to 80% in gold and rest may invest in bitcoin and other coins. Once market condition improves then I may consider to re-allocate more funds to cryptos.

Gold has stand the test of time, its existence predates even the fiat system. Also the volatility of gold has reduced a lot. So as a store of value I'll put about 60% of the $1 million in gold.

BTC is still developing, so risky because of the high volatility. The probability of 1 btc going to $1 million is there, so also is the probability of going back $100. As a risky investment with potential of very high reward, I'll put about 20% in BTC and the remaining 20% in altcoins.

So, 60% in Gold
      20% in BTC
      20% in Altcoins   

For me gold is always safe in hands and bitcoin are great and have a great potential but the value of bitcoin are very volatile nothing sure if the price of bitcoin will increasing or decreasing. For me gold is safe and bitcoin there's a chance to get a lot of money.

This year I believe both BTC and Gold will rise significantly. Of course gold is more stable and has less profit/loss chance.

There is big uncertainity about global economies and also security (military) therefore both assets outlook is green in my opinion.

I was always part of the mind-set which put a lot of value on gold. I still do value gold, but with the arrival of Bitcoin (and I don't see that going anywhere), I feel BTC is the better.

One of the main reasons I think it beats gold, is world wide adoption. Blockchain is a mamouth shift in tech, and its use are limitless. Whereas gold is primarly used in jewellry, industrial means, and of course, holding it.

If you're going to hold gold, holding physical is the only way! That applies to silver as well.

Yes I agree with your opinion that in this year BTC and gold will be green even at the end of the year.
BTC will rise 35% for the year.
Gold will rise 35% for the year.
Altcoins will rise 30% for the year.

Gold is stable long term investment like property as opposed to any crypto which is 90% speculation, remember real life use cases are extremely limited. Steem is used on Steemit, that one example though. BTC is old tech that needs urgent upgrades and have a huge slit community (think why there are so many BTC forks).

Goes all to the bitcoin, If i can the advantage to buy bitcoin at the bottom and then i will back with a really huge profit when it was recovering to the top. The majority of gold markets are controlled by bankers and i would not go for that.
Gold is fully manipulated by the bankers and did you know how many gold owned by bankers to control the market?

Bitcoin don't have any solid backing. It's a great archetype of cryptocurrencies, but nothing more. But what about more innovative projects like Nebula Network? Anyone has heard about? It's a decentralized storage cloud with emission mechanism tied to their supply. Thanks of it it has a solid backing and stable rate of exchange separated from BTC..

If i have $1m i will split in to gold and btc and the percentage is 50% each. I believe in btc but i wont risk all my $1m so i will go half to gold. Gold has been proven from thousands years ago and bitcoin have a big chance to replace gold in digital market. Both asset is really valueable now.

Gold is still a special thing in the real world but not so easily influenced by various things/factors and BTC is still a special thing in cyberspace and the development of its advanced technology can also be said as one thing related to the future. Well., the basis of all that depends on the enthusiasts from time to time in this life.

Nope, my point of view in this case is how you will spend your money for investment. So in this case they've same proportion as a assets.

BTC is always better than gold.Bitcoin market is always fluctuate.So we can inverse our money in low value and get huge profit,when the price increase.This is the reason for bitcoin is always better than gold.I agree gold value is stable.But in the stability,you are forced to buy at constant price.If the price fluctuate,we have a chance to buy at low price also

it is really hard to understand what you are trying to say here because of your bad English and also bad way of saying it!
bitcoin like gold has value because of its utility and it will always have that value as long as it has that utility. if people stop using gold for all the different usages its price will drop extremely, the same way if people stop using bitcoin as a decentralized currency it can drop.
but will it happen? that is another question.

what you need to remember is that you shouldn't be fooled by the volatility of bitcoin. it is temporary and it is only because bitcoin is young. gold in comparison has been around thousands of years. bitcoin only 9 years!

The question is more do you want to make profit or lock your money away in a safe option?

Safe option = gold
Profits = BTC

I don't invest for safety, I would buy property and at least have a passive income renting it out before I put a ton in to gold.
If I felt a large economic crash was coming or the dollar was at risk I would go for gold for safety, but from an investing for profit point of view, you can't even compare these 2, BTC wins every day of the week, just be aware of the pros and cons, the volatility and manage your risks, you'll blow away any profit from gold and the likes if you get it even half right on crypto

For me gold is always safe in hands and bitcoin are great and have a great potential but the value of bitcoin are very volatile nothing sure if the price of bitcoin will increasing or decreasing. For me gold is safe and bitcoin there's a chance to get a lot of money.


Meh btc gold is just another scam like bch

No one really knows what's going to happen in 10 or 15 years, the price of bitcoin can go down to nearly zero in the future but the price of gold can also go down, imagine if scientists find a way to create gold artificially then the price of gold will dump hard. But in the short term like 2 years I think bitcoin is a better investment than gold

Obviously I like and strongly appreciate btc because it is a potential investment source as well as digital currency where you can get more profit than gold holding so I like BTC.

Now the countries are making gold and silver stakes. If there is a crisis of 2019-2020 dollars, investment of gold is very reasonable.

gold is good to saving
because gold price incraese is slowly, so if you want invest to get return, gold is not good

For me, gold is not an interesting asset, it grows very slowly, inflation of money is faster. I would only consider investing in Bitcoin, as this is the future and behind these technologies are large organizations!

I think bitcoin and gold to be one alternative in the field of investment, but gold is very stable in the attraction of fluctuating bitcoin.

I think that gold and Bitcoin are different things. gold has a level of stability is very good and always follow the economic development in the world, for people who want to make a safe investment then gold could be the main choice. While I think that Bitcoin is a very promising investment of many advantages, although very fast price fluctuations can also make us risk big losses as well.

Every investment has its own weaknesses and advantages. So we can not assume one investment is the best. There must be comparison and comparability because then we will be able to know the best investment according to ourselves. If I had to choose then I would invest in Bitcoin, I was a visionary who always wanted to get a lot of profits, for me to invest in gold for too long to wait and my choice is Bitcoin which is much more challenging if used as an investment.

gold is a very important thing that this gold can boost anyone and can survive the life, so bitcoin is also a way to change your life. But bitcoin is better because of this you can work harder than gold if you have something to do so be patient

If there is $ 1 million. I will choose gold instead of investing in BTC. I will use 80% to buy gold. Gold is highly stable and will last a long time. 20% I will invest in Bitcoin. if so lucky. I will get another $ 1 million from bitcoin ;D

Gold is safer than Bitcoin and is not going to disappear. Bitcoin could vanish if there is no more miners and no more exchanges.
Bitcoin is for faster profits, but you also have a chance to lose more money. It is safer to not invest all your money into Bitcoin.

I would not compare gold and bitcoin. These are completely different things. The bitcoin is unstable, today it can give you a profit, and tomorrow it will bring you losses. But gold is a more stable asset, and if you want to keep your money for a long time, then gold is exactly what you need.

Bitcoin is really the best investment tool in the crypto money market. But Syria, which lived in the Middle East, is an important development that will bring about war. I hope no war will happen. When we think of the worst of the worst, that is what the dollar remains in the war when it comes out. Crypto money also does not matter. Then the only valid method is gold as in the old days.

I would put half of the money in gold, and half in Bitcoin. Gold is more stable. Bitcoin is growing more. :)

idea of cryptocurrency and blockchain is very innovative but still i will not compare it to gold .
you can compare it with fiat , and it is much better than fiat ..

but if compare to gold , i will choose gold first ..

yes during war , people buy gold / silver in large amount , bcoz these are the assets which will be always valuable ..
also real estate is the other option which we can choose ..

Gold, this is the most stable currency, in stability surpasses any paper currency and any asset. Bitcoin and Gold have nothing in common.

Many compare Bitcoin with Gold, this is a metaphor rather than a direct link. And these currencies are extracted in completely different ways.

One thing for sure, I won't be selling any of my gold anytime soon to purchase crypto for it.

I do not see any particular value in gold, for me it is no more than a good conductor

Different users have different thoughts about gold as well bitcoin. Above user has a varied understanding about gold, but majority of the users give importance to gold as one of the most prominent investment. It holds trust from more people than bitcoin, because there are people who promote bitcoin in the negative manner.

Of course bitcoin.Gold is now the old investment tool.Bitcoin value will be $ 100,000 in the future.People will appreciate the value of the blockchain structure.

Gold has proved its existence around thousands of years. it also uses as an indicator of inflation and comparison of fiat currency.
and when gold is comparing with BTC surely it's too young to be compared with gold.
Gold always follow the inflation, the regulation whose control it is stable and steady
BTC still need progress and time to be stable and be compared with gold.
the gold capital even bigger than BTC

everyone knows the gold is safer. But really strange to put gold here to let us make choice... I would have 5% in gold, 20% in cryptocurrency market, 75% another investment tools. In this 20%, i would have 40%- bitcoin and 30% -ETH, 30% - more risky altcoins, suppose i had invested in gold....

Repeatedly said that gold is more stable and does not have such volatility in price. And the fact that crypto-currencies are not recognized anywhere else further reduces confidence in them, it's just as a means of quickly enriching, and gold is a reliable back of your capital.

I would choose bitcoin.

Bitcoin in my opinion will outperform gold. The reason is that not only is bitcoin one of the best store of values out there that hedges against inflation, much like gold, it also has a growing adoption base. Not a lot of people use bitcoin but almost everyone know and hold some gold. So the growth potential of BTC in the next 10-15 years definitely outweighs gold's.

Bitcoin isn't going to drop any time soon to under its previous lows, we're just getting started here.

That's not to say that gold isn't a good investment to hold, it still is a good hedge against inflation and I'd take gold over fiat any day.

btc vs gold when compared in terms of use would be easy to use gold. because bitcoin is still constrained difficulty to use. but if for bitcoin investment is still the best and can be done some options for long-term investment or short and always get a profit if we are smart to set.

Gold is the oldest and most well-known universal money. Bitcoin is money for information age that is modeled after gold, even including the use of "mining"  and a golden coin as its symbol. Best to own both.

Bitcoin has more usefulness compared with gold but this just like compare apple and melon. Both can be considered as the best thing to store our value but bitcoin gives the more advantage to the users because they can sending it easily to another person compared with gold. Bitcoin should better than gold.

If i have a $1M I will risk in btc and then if I make it to $2M with it I will totally get my $1M and invest on real projects what I mean real state business like that so I have now both investment on digital and real life .

Investing in gold is safer, however we will not have much profit. I believe that long-term investment in bitcoin will be a wise investment and bring a lot of profit for us. Bitcoin is one of the best cryoam in the market, it has very high growth potential. I believe that at the end of the year bitcoin prices will reach $ 20000 and stabilize around this price.

Gold has more use cases than Bitcoin. People are fighting for gold since thousands of years because of its true value. It is still holding its value. I do like gold. My ring and bracelets are made up of gold also.

in old times no dought that gold is very popular for investing and holding and also till now many people are still investing in a gold market and holding the gold,but the persons who know about btc and having investments knowledge of it their 1st preference is btc,the sell gold and investing in btc and holding it for good time.

Never Comparable BTC with the Gold the evergreen real asset. This is the asset which will go worldwide and the value is same with all eyes of the world. Even in a recession, BTC won't work but gold will be accepted everywhere. Gold is the real asset which is heavy industrial demand and at the same time the household also.

Yes, gold is always best to holding in long term but currently Bitcoin is defeat the all investment so I always supporting to Bitcoin investment because all are travelling the digital world so we must update ourself. This is the best profitable platform and more secured investment but few peoples are fear to invest in Bitcoin because many rumours are spread in the world so some opposition is possible in Bitcoin.

Why always need to choose? why I can't just have both? It's doesn't matter how much money do you have just split them among two investment assets

I agree with you. People always want know what is the best, they can not understend that is more than one good options. In my opinion it is only human greed but i do not like it very much

Bitcoin and gold accomplish two different things. Gold is a store of value and bitcoin is some kind of hybrid, while it stores ( more or less ) value, it can also be easily exchanged for good and services in a way easier way than gold. Bitcoin is also secure and trustless. My opinion is to diversify in both asset and hold bitcoin and gold !

if I have $ 1 million I will divide the money fairly, 50% bitcoin and 50% gold. By doing so I think I will get a high profit and will minimize the risk of losing.

Gold is also a very attractive asset. But if you choose where the profit is more - then I choose bitcoin.

everyone has a different opinion, about BTC and also gold
there are some gold users who have a wide variety of opinion perceptions about gold, most of whom choose gold as an investment,
the most easy and desirable,
and BTC many people also know but many say the investment is risky but more profitable, and some do not know yet
about BTC. so maybe invest more into gold
compared with BTC

It depends really. BTC is more volatile, so the price could go up or down a lot more. Gold is more stable and will hold it's value over time. So it really depends on if you want to take a risk or not. I would most definitely invest a good percentage of the $1,000,000 in BTC, but wouldn't count out an investment in gold to stabilize the value of my portfolio either.

I would better choose both as an asset, but to multiply my capital and profits, i would choose bitcoin. Gold does not help multiply your capital but bitcoin and other crypto currencies would certainly support. Gold value do not reallly go up and down. If you look at the price variation of gold , you may not see a big variation. Buy if you look at the price variation in bitcoin, it would be too much. You will either feel to sell or buy more bitcoin when the price is too low. Profits will certainly hit your wallet very soon.

If I had that amount, I would buy the land. Preferably fertile land. After all, you can not be fed with gold or bitkoin. And from the eternal question about gold and bitcoin, I can say that gold wins. If electricity is lost, bitcoin will be lost, too, and gold will be with us

I think that investing in gold becomes very relevant for many people. The political situation in the world is very heated and people will look for a stable asset. I think they will choose gold, not bitcoin.

the comparison of bitcoin and gold was long ago. One year ago, prices were equalized at a time. but the situation is different now.

even in this decline, investors continue to earn compared to last year. but under its, Gold slowly ascended. of course, this is a political strain. the war rumors have raised the price of gold.

I prefer Bitcoin for an investments although risky but still it is fast moving than gold. We could see in the market the huge difference of the prices between these two investments because it is Bitcoin is the most popular now than gold and beside it is the most convenient way for the masses to invest in which all we need is a safe wallet but for gold i think it is in favor of the rich investors because as we are belong to the middle class level we could not keep massive of gold in our home for our future selling.

At the present time, gold is still a bit longer than BTC, making you compare gold with BTC means you see BTC as a gold-like asset. This comparison implies that BTC is used by everyone as a kind of asset, not currency. And if there are 1 million dollars, I can divide 70% of the investment into the BTC and 30% of the investment in gold rather than putting all the eggs in the same basket.

Bitcoin is still the original and the most popular one, therefore, I believe that it will be more successful in the end. Bitcoin Gold is, after all, a fork that could always remain in the shadow of its master.
But again, there is a slight chance that it might surpass Bitcoin, but I highly doubt it. Because, most people know about the original one.

Exactly, there is nobody saying you cannot diversify your portfolio with more than 1 asset.

In fact, holding only one asset for your entire portfolio is extremely dumb.

As I said, gold is probably going to continue to be a good store of value for a long time to come. People trust in gold, it's in their nature. But I don't see bitcoin as being that volatile in the long term since it's also a store of value. Sure, it could fluctuate in the short term a bit, but in the long run the growth should be steady for BTC.

Still though, I'd diversify my portfolio with both for sure. They're both too good to pass on.

If I have 1 million dollars ?
I will divide it 30% for bitcoin, 30% for altcoin and 40% for gold. because during the gold investment its price is never too down like bitcoin.

Yes, I agree that gold is more stable, but to increase their investments, I would have invested this amount in bitcoin.

I am a huge fan of crypto currency, but if I just needed to save my money, I would choose GOLD, Bitcoin just for earnings.

It's absolutely different investment. If you tell about gold futures than it's one thing. If you tell about physical gold in bricks it's other. That's why to say that Gold is better/worth BTC is empty words. "More stable, less stable". Are you see gold chart for 5-15 years?

I would better choose bitcoin now. As i earn some bitcoin, i love to gather bitcoin and hold back for its value rise. If you look at gold's value it does not increase or decrease as like bitcoin. The profits earned from gold is less than profits earned from bitcoin. So it is even better to buy more bitcoin and keep them now as current btc value is low. Bitcoin price may start recovering back from July. We can certainly expect a lump of profits by then.

At one time, gold, too, no one is considered a precious metal, especially since it will always be in price. Bitcoins are all new, but behind them is the future. After all, for digital technology is the future.

it's a beautiful comparison. recently, investor companies say the cryptos are insecure. crypto coins are curious for High gain earnings. good luck. ;)

They are different matters, Gold is tangible and exist for many years and it has economic value for a certain country while bitcoin runs only for past few years and the fluctuations of price is due to the volume of trades.For me, golds are more valuable than bitcoin, why? because gold is known by everyone and acceptance is everywhere but bitcoin is only known by people that have passion with cryptocurrencies so you will see the difference now.

I choose Bitcoin than Gold, why?  because now technology is the base of this life (I think) and Bitcoin have that, so Bitcoin is nice asset for future

Diversify into both, or even invest into REITS, real estates and etc
I've look into these financial instruments, Crypto is like a new tools driven to stimulate the financial economy into the next revolution

Gold is like a welcome gift, most people would think of investing at gold because it is proven to be safe and inflation resist
At one point, i've learn that if Gold price goes up, BTC will always follow the gold and went up
It seems like it has a minor relation there

a majority of around 70% I allow for bitcoin and the rest will I League for the gold. bitcoin indeed nobody knows will last until when however while still promising then it is not wrong of course if such opportunity.

gold of course, since ancient times gold never died, all civilizations know gold as a valuable item. bitcoin could be crushed one day but not with gold

for me I'll choose gold between that two options. Because gold is made by nature and it takes hundreds or maybe thousands of years to be made of okay. And bitcoin is only made by human and we can create another worthless cryptocurrency if we wanted to.

If I have that money to invest I will diversify. I will not risk it all in one investment. That will be the real world answer but if we need to choose one I think I will invest it in Bitcoin. I am a risk taker and I trust Bitcoin enough that it can survive in the years to come. Gold is a safe investment but with a lower reward.

Its Gold for me also. Its better to invest in certain asset with physical appearance than investing in digital thing. But we don’t know also the run of time as the human civilization keeps on improving and technology blooms so fast, maybe this digital currencies or cryptocurrencies like bitcoin will really be of certain value just like the physical gold. Or maybe next time there will be a digital currency be made also for gold.

Gold is indeed more stable but calling bitcoin as not that much reliable just due to high volatility is a little unfair. Bitcoin is the future of money and gold is now an ancient history. All clever investors would choose bitcoin over gold because they know the fact very well that only bitcoin can bring ample profits. Stability is not appreciated when it comes to earning money by investments.

in these days, btc is more reliable than gold.

if you change country or city. you can take btc to your ledger and you can go where you want with your money.
but it is really hard to do with golds

I prefer bitcoin rather han gold
because I'm sure bitcoin will bring good luck,
by investing in bitcoin I think will get a lot of profit
especially now that bitcoin prices are starting to rise

bitcoin analysis I will not last only 10 or 15 years, bitcoin is now more and more people know it and make it for profit, more people buy bitcoin, bitcoin will be higher price, if for example I have $ 1 million I prefer to buy bitcoin.

Investing in gold is a wise decision, because the price of gold is very stable, and it will certainly continue to rise in the future. However, if we want to make huge profits, we can take risks, then invest in Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency market is a new market, it has great potential. And Bitcoin is the king of the market, it's very popular, so many people know bitcoin. I believe Bitcoin will grow in size and value in the next few years. This is an opportunity for us to buy Bitcoin when the bitcoin price is only about $ 8000.

I think Bitcoin is several times more in demand than gold. You can not compare them, because gold is more stable, and Bitcoin can be unchanged at any time.

We already read about this questions from the past. Bitcoin and gold cannot be comparable, we have our own decisions on which is the good and best choice. The way we see it gold exists long until now, if we have 1m why not to diversify our investment since we take risks.

Gold is mostly considered to be an asset and people like to invest in gold as gold is very important for everyone here in our country India as they give special importance to gold and silver commodity. Price of the gold follow the global economy changes whereas BTC has no relation to the global economy but i think both BTC and gold are important for investment because both are expected to gain value for long-term even after many years especially Bitcoin as this is getting demand day after day.

I don't like Gold but as I see all predictions made under the assumption that people choose between virtual (market) gold and coins (BTC). One remark. I can hold gold as brick (physical coin) any time. But I can hold BTC with electricity only. In the world crisis conditions my gold will be more valuable than any coins and especially crypto

i will choose both, because Bitcoin and Gold is a good investments for long run
but, maybe Gold is safer than bitcoin, because everyone know gold is a traditional assets and at this moment traditional assets is still better and safer than a digital assets like bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies

Now people are considering Bitcoin is also an asset. nobody is using bitcoin as payment mode everybody is buying and selling it for a high price. But Gold is a universal asset you can use it in the open world but Bitcoin is not like that you have to use it in dark web. profit wise i will suggest Bitcoin is better than Gold.  

Every development of the times has always been changed and eliminated. Because life will always work, our brains will not think the same thing every day.

'Technology' can easily change the world, this is the modern time/digital era. Everything about human beings should be done as simple as possible. Human nature will imitate others in accordance with what he wants. And cryptocurrency is now increasingly popular, already many people are using. Indirectly they will bring people to the world of cryptocurrency. This is what will make cryptocurrency will always be in the future. Keep in mind people who already know their cryptocurrency will be hard to leave it.

Bitcoin and gold are very valuable assets for me, both of which have a high value. But the difference in gold will be better known by the community than bitcoin. But for the price I chose bitcoin, bitcoin beat gold in terms of price. If I have $ 1M I'll buy bitcoin first because the technology will continue to innovate. Because the bitcoin function is superior to gold, gold is only an asset, but bitcoin can be used as an asset and payment system.

Nah you are wrong, i trust with bitcoin and i believe bitcoin will be great in the future, I think the future of bitcoin is better than gold, that my opinion

i heared Scandinavians country(Sweden? or something like that) invest part of his money in cryptosector, but maybe that news just a fake
if that true- that may be a confirme of your gipotyz BTC=Gold

Gold and silver are always safe. But not rich. BTC and the crypto provided us with dreams.

Investing in gold is one of the smartest and safest investments. Gold will be profitable for us, because gold prices are constantly rising. However, if we want to make a huge profit, then we should invest in Bitcoin, because Bitcoin cs can pump very high prices. At present bitcoin price is about $ 8000, maybe in the next few years its price will be more than $ 50,000, until then long term investors will have a lot of profit thanks to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is offering a lot opportunities for people to make and invest, It may not
look or feel lavishing as gold does but bitcoin has helped people a lot. It's a
convenient investment and easy access. Gold is no doubt undisputed as a
classic and all time standard in investment, it's been here for a very long time
and it's very valuable indeed. I think it's two different commodities with different
properties, gold is good alright but so it bitcoins.

If there is a war, you are fleeing, there must be no Internet, so bitcoin can't be traded. If gold does. Of course if you run away. It would be more convenient to hold bitcoin.

Gold is the safest investment asset. If you have to choose one, I prefer gold. But both can be a profitable investment. Investing 75% gold and 25% bitcoin from wealth, I think it would be nice.

Well in reality if I am a multi millionaire, I would choose gold over bitcoins of course. Obvious reason, I can physically hold it with my hands, I can see it and I can mold it into many things. Can use it as decoration and I can give my girls with gold. It has been considered very valuable for thousands of years and will continue to do so thousands of years from now.

Well then what about BITCOIN GOLD! lol jk jk but yeah gold is nice but one key factor you might be missing is percent increase over history. Bitcoin continues to climb year after year if not month after month that puts real gold in the pits when you look at it from an investment standpoint. Even if you invested in bitcoin for a month you could buy more gold then you could the month before.

I tried to sell a few of my Silver Rounds and they told me they would not take them because they had been getting too many fakes.. You don't have that problem with Bitcoin (or any cryptocurrency).

Both are great. Gold have one advantage, that it is a "stable money" for 5000 years. Also it is manipulated by big banks, so true value is much higher. On the other hand we live in digital world and Bitcoin rocks. If monetary system collapse, it is always good to have some gold. Even one of the best investors of all time Ray Dalio, saying that everyone should have at least 7% of all assets in gold.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with holding both, I think that what will happen if precious metals and cryptocurrency gain dominance again in the modern world we'll be using gold and silver for local trading amongst communities and cryptocurrencies for global trading so you don't have to worry about shipping gold and silver everywhere to people you want to pay.

Such as, in Zimbabwe, there are gold assayers in every market. It is easy to transact in gold.
In the on-line sphere, it is easy to move bitcoin, and next to impossible to move gold (well, you could use gold-money, but you give up holding your own gold)
So, these values really depend on the environment.
However, in the future, there will be more important things on your lists. And they will trump everything. Basically, their weighting will be x10.For instance, imagine the world figures out how bad $oros really is. I mean, like they figure out that he is the cause of 1 in 10 children having autism, by his direct actions. And that he has caused all people to lose $10,000 personally, and... So, he becomes a living Hitler.
And $oros pays his private guard (army) in gold, because they won't accept anything else (like The US$, which is gone) and the towns people see this, and decide to not accept gold, because the gold comes from $oros.
GoldBitcoin
From $oros -100 Not from $oros +10
And there will be more important things,
such as verification of sending, automatic escrow, complete traceability end to end, or complete anonymity, etc.

But what about the other precious and rare metals like Silver, Platinum, and Palladium? There are also being made into precious items nowadays. I would also prefer to have not just gold but also these other precious and rare metals.

Invest in GOLD is low risk and investment of BTC is high risk.
it's up to you, if do you like the high risk you can choose of BTC and possible can get a lot of profit than GOLD.

I agree that gold is more stable, and over the past 15 years it has shown stable growth, but Bitcoin also grows, but several times faster.

Bitcoin will continue on this market for a longer time. a altcoin that can replace it is not currently available. it may be after a very long time.

The bitcoin will later relocate to another coin place. but this coin is hard to predict. I think ethereum is the biggest candidate for this.

both bitcoin and gold have been applied to a certain price by a person on certain parameters. One way or another, you can feel the gold, hold it in your hands, and you will never be able to see or touch bitcoin. However, both gold and cryptocurrency can kill and maim.

both are very good options and are revalued every year, the difference between them is that gold has a more stable market price than bitcoin. BTC varies a lot, which generates a risk and gold has small changes that help maintain the value of your investment. but my choice would be towards the BTC

I choose bitcoin, because crypto currency can bring me much more profit than investing in gold. Besides, I do not know how I can buy gold. Perhaps this is much more difficult than buying a crypto currency.

Bitcoin will take the place of gold in the coming months. I absolutely believe it. Later governments will use blockchain and go digital. It needs to be based on a source of money that is printed as it is now. This will certainly be bitcoin.

I never invested in gold. It seems to me that it is very difficult and not profitable. I know for sure that gold will not bring me as much profit as a crypto currency.

It will survive for more than those years. We are on the 1990's where internet is starting to become popular.
The same time where crypto's are starting to gain popularity and recognition from the world that this is a major investment from now on.

$100,000 to gold.
$100,000 to real estate
$500,000 to crypto.
The rest goes to my bank.

It should be noted that Bitcoin is a digital currency that is subject to a strong and lightning growth, while gold, performs a completely different function in the world.

switch to digital gold -> btc

I always invests in bitcoin even gold was also talked about. The same here, I always prefer bitcoin than gold because of bitcoin is easy to use with, more functions that users can easily cope up. It seems btc and gold are always been comparing by others if they can afford to have both why not.

I am very curious about your question,what is your purpose of comparing btc with gold? . Because both of theme are different, i know both it same for investment, but there's different system. Okey i'll try to answer it. If i have a lot money i will choose gold. Because gold never end. But bitcoin maybe some day will end. That's if you compare gold with bitcoin.

This is a much more relevant and logical question than it might seems at first. A mater of fact is that, Gold, Bitcoin and Fiat currency be it Dollar, Pound, Euro or Yuan all share almost similar traits which fulfill Aristotle’s call for a currency to be functional and practical. But even then, Bitcoin trumps Gold on all of these properties. Bitcoin is fungible, and divisible. You can use fraction of Bitcoin and not a fraction of gold. Bitcoin is durable and portable in the same time. It shows resistance to counterfeit something lacking in Gold. So yeah, let it be the digital gold.

I don't believe that BTC can be end. I know that 21kk max. But not because of this. So much time need to complete. But what is gold? If we tell about future contracts than it's not gold. It's paper or digit on your screen. But real gold people purchase not so often. But this is actually

Actually Bitcoin and Gold are different things.Bitcoin is decentralized digital and gold is metal. I think Bitcoin is better than gold. but bitcoin have a high risk and gold have low risk. nowadays bitcoin is so much popular and demand-able.

We can not just compare bitcoin and gold. These are completely different in nature things with their own separate tasks and functions. They have only a general similarity in the sense that both carry out the function of storing value. In the rest they are different. Gold is the subject of an eternal source of value and will remain so until its reserves on earth are limited. If in future people find large reserves of gold in the bowels of the earth, or bring it to Earth after the exploration of outer space, then gold will either significantly fall in price, or generally depreciate. In all other cases, it is a constant source of value. As for bitcoin, it is a product of digital technologies. If these technologies disappear, then the crypto currency will disappear. Therefore, it is more temporary than gold. The conclusion is obvious. Bitcoin can be chosen as a source of great profit now, but in the global perspective, it loses.

Bitcoin will still be my best choice if I am to choose between bitcoin and gold for investment. Bitcoin has a brighter future than any other tools of investment. Bitcoin is the future of money and holding them should be the right thing to do.  I have been trying to understand why many people will predict doom for bitcoin in future after it has proof to be the best form of money.

I think Bitcoin already has its own market and its users, Bitcoin is a separate asset from real life, but its technology can be applied to real life. So my opinion Bitcoin will still exist and still be liked by fans and lovers of crytpo.

Is it mean that you choose BTC? Or no? I don't understand sorry. I know many fans of gold. It began before new era. And now gold fans are much more than BTC fans  ;D

I do not think that Bitcoin and Gold have anything in common, many compare them, but this is a mistaken opinion. I am sure that they differ, at least - price stability and consumers.

Gold & Silver are precious metals & Industrial metals..

Bitcoin is a p2p electronic cash system..

In my opinion, if choose to invest, I will choose BTC and if choose to store I will choose gold. Since BTC I will earn higher profits than gold, they can make us profit in a short time. Gold does not fluctuate as large as BTC so they are suitable for storage.

it would seem that the common between gold and bitcoin, but still many people are constantly comparing them, I think that this is done in order to add popularity Bitcoin.

"Trade mark for today." I have to be realistic and somehow tend to take it as having a good sense. Cryptocurrency is of course passing. Very much similar with the traditional fiat system. We do not have paper bills and coins before. We used to be really utilizing gold and silver and bronze when doing commerce in the past and yet we eventually realize that there is so much more advantage in inventing the fiat system. But right now, we are again beginning to realize that there is so much better with fiat and that is crypto. So perhaps for the next hundreds of years, crypto will rule the payment system. Gold will remain to be a store of value though.

For me two of that is good and popular for investment but for me bitcoin is the best because its easly to rise the price and we can get profit if the prise will rise and we know bitcoin will become expnsive on the future.many persons become rich because of bitcoin and we can buy also in a low price if the  price will goes down and we can sell if the price will goes up so that i think bitcoin is good morethan gold.

I agree that investing in gold is not the best option for today, but Bitcoin can quickly gain its price, so it is unique.

I think the Game changes forever  - cryptocurrency here to stay.  They can be regulated, banned or well-spread  but it's definitely start of the new economy

As far as we know Gold is the oldest and safest storage tool, the price of Gold is always stable so investing in Gold will profitable very low.
While bitcoin is a new investing channel which is latent high risks because the price of Bitcoin is movement very big. But "high risk" is equivalent the profit bring very big as well, so if i have a lot of money ($1 millions as you said), i will use 80% to invest in Bitcoin because i think the price of Bitcoin will soon 2x in the next two years

the difference between gold and bitcoin is very far from all things, from the risk also seem far away, as a true trader will still choose bitcoin or altcoin for investment although they know crypto have a high risk in the gold investment appeal,
of all crypto expert comments say that the crypto will get shiny even more, the golden glow will soon be dimmed for future investment

While BTC is not gold. It's only speculations. When we will mine 98-99% BTC than BTC will be more expensive than diamonds  ;D Or died. But it's not soon

guys, you can expect a lot, but it's better not to forget about gold. There may come times when the e-currency Just can become inaccessible to society. And then gold will return to its usage.

Both can be seen as a reliable means of investment, I find it more appropriate to share my investment between the two, even if someone hurts, the other will remain intact and I will continue my journey.

I will choose gold to hold, in my opinion should not risk investing in BTC, the BTC is a bubble market, they can break at any time, so keep gold is the safest.

Gold is rising in price very slowly and so I do not see it as a way to earn money. But bitcoin in a short time can make me a rich man. So I choose bitcoin.

The key word to life savings is to diversify. Why limit yourself to only one option?

To make a comparison between gold and BTC, investing in BTC will help you earn huge profits in a short time while investing in gold will merely help you avoid losing money over time instead of cash hold. BTC will probably survive for a short period of time but the profit it brings is huge if you make the investment at the right time. If I had money, I would not invest in gold but would invest in the cryptocurrency market.

I think bitcoin will last a long time, because bitcoin is becoming an asset for all users,
And whereas the gold of a metal begins not a currency, and we too will put the asset on gold,
Not all of us will be invested dibitcoin, because bitcoin is unpredictable.

BTC and Gold are two very different things, in either case, they have almost nothing in common. Gold has existed in this world before man was born and created by God to be enjoyed by human use. Some people may make gold as an investment, but in essence, gold is created for human use as jewelry. While BTC was created by humans with the development of existing technology. BTC was created for the purpose of human use in this world as an investment and a job to mine a coin that can then be exchanged for a virtual currency to meet the necessities of life.
So with that $ 1 million if you can take advantage of the current BTC for investment, you will get huge profits and unexpected value. Whereas if you use to buy gold, from the beginning you buy, you can calculate the profit you get that is equivalent that's it, the price of gold from the past also stable up and down. Not many advantages you can get from gold.

bitcoin persist for a long time can be, and this is certainly everyone's expectations. a growing number of enthusiasts certainly makes bitcoin able to survive on. Gold is indeed a promising investment, but the results of the gold are not as attractive as a result of the bitcoin.

Gold is the safest investment asset. If you have to choose one, I prefer gold. But both can be a profitable investment. Investing 50% gold and 50% bitcoin from wealth, I think it would be nice.

Both are great. Gold have one advantage, that it is a "stable money" for 5000 years. Also it is manipulated by big banks, so true value is much higher. On the other hand we live in digital world and Bitcoin rocks. If monetary system collapse, it is always good to have some gold. Even one of the best investors of all time Ray Dalio, saying that everyone should have at least 7% of all assets in gold.

Different users have different thoughts about gold as well bitcoin. Above user has a varied understanding about gold, but majority of the users give importance to gold as one of the most prominent investment. It holds trust from more people than bitcoin.

People will probably assume that gold will be the longest-lasting commodity in the world, even though the profit of investment in gold is less than cryptos. It is possible that the cryptocurrencies market will last for at least the next 20 or 30 years, but it will not be as long as the existence of gold. So depending on the time we should have invested in different kinds, and the current time, investing in cryptos would be better than gold.

of course many people expect that bitcoin will stay alive, even though in this world nothing is everlasting, but many people expect bitcoin to always exist, gold is also one of the best choice of people to invest, but for me prefers to invest on bitcoin, despite the enormous risk, bitcoin investments for me are very promising for big profits rather than gold investments.

Just buy BTCG and you have both :)

If it is about how to getting it, i will choose btc. Because to get btc is not as expensive as getting gold.
But if the both are given as free of charge, i definitely choose gold.
Because from the beginning until now, gold always to be needed by everyone, whether individual or electronic industry. :)

Gold is still the most widely accepted universal store of value but it is not easy to transport or use for internet transactions. Bitcoin is designed to be similar to gold and is also suitable for modern digital commerce.

Well, it is not right to compare gold which is the mineral and something that you can touch with Bitcoin that is the virtual currency and the coolest crypto.

Well, no, gold to overtake? It seems to me already too, gold always was in an appendage, and competitors now especially and isn't present therefore to overtake gold, can and it will turn out, but not soon.

Bitcoin has grown but not enough to start swinging on gold, gold is already like a cross-national currency, and to surpass it too early, and not good enough still bitcoin, there is still much to learn.

Bitcoin's trade mark won't be changed as cryptocurrency and it's on its name.

---

If I have $1,000,000 I won't choose only bitcoin but I'll expand and explore other investments such as gold.

---

Yep I'll also explore with gold, you know that it's the best thing to do - diversify.

i will choose Gold and BTC, so, i will split my capital to buy Bitcoin and gold
everything is risky, and no one know what will happend with BTC and gold in the future my friend

I prefer bitcoin. It seems to me that investing in bitcoin will bring me much more profit than investing in gold. Gold is growing very slowly.

Of course bitcoin is a more winning option in this choice. Bitcoin is more reliable and more expensive. As well as bitcoin is easier to earn and requires much less investment in this field.

If you invest in gold, profit will be lower than BTC. But the investment in gold will be much more stable. BTC is high risk, but if the BTC price increases you will get huge profits.

I think BTC is more expensive than gold, because BTC is more popular than gold.

I prefer bitcoin more because it creates interest faster than gold. I have spent a long time researching gold, I realized that gold only increases over time and they rise very slowly.
So it will not be able to meet my needs, Bitcoin is far more potential. Because Bitcoin can make us profit easily when the market fluctuates. ;D

Nope, my point of view in this case is how you will spend your money for investment. So in this case they've same proportion as a assets.

For me two of that is good and popular for investment but for me bitcoin is the best because its easly to rise the price and we can get profit if the prise will rise and we know bitcoin will become expnsive on the future.many persons become rich because of bitcoin and we can buy also in a low price if the  price will goes down and we can sell if the price will goes up so that i think bitcoin is good morethan gold.

I think two of that are good things to be an investment because it's have an expensive and much sought after value. And I will choose 30% for btc and 70% for gold. I will save btc for a long time and will sell my gold if I need money. And I do not think I need to sell it if I keep working here.

i have a different view between btc and gold. btc has excess prices that rise in height in some time and can be used as a producer of profit in quick time, but bitcoin has a drastic price weakness. in contrast to the good gold for the long term and stable and the increase and decrease in the price is not too drastic.

but I would look at this from another side and imagine the situation when the Internet and electricity will disappear in the world. In this case, gold will retain its value throughout the world, unlike Bitcoin. Crypto currency Then it just disappears.

Things are not so simple, some people use the argument that a new coin that is a slightly better than bitcoin will appear and then it will be replaced, but while bitcoin is a technology at the same time it is still a currency, and if you take the time to look at the history of currencies you will see that a currency is not replaced overnight it takes a lot of time, so bitcoin is going to be the top cryptocurrency for a lot of time, and while gold will always have a value thanks to its limited nature I really feel that bitcoin is going to eat up some of the market cap of gold.

Bitcoin is inspired by gold.
If you are looking for a stable investment, invest into gold.
If you are looking for a higher risk investment, go to Bitcoin.

I don't get why is it inpired by gold, could you atleast explain why ?  :D
thinking both gold and bitcoin they have a huge difference as to their use but for stability and risky investment i think you are correct on that part :)

I prefer bitcoin, for me it is like a digital gold and it can be easy transfered whereas gold is difficult to hold and it need to be kept in some kind of safe. What is more bitcoin will be bigger than gold so please choose bitcoin,

I of course choose Bitcoin, gold has long lost its liquidity, the price of buying and selling is very different.

Of course, Bitcoin and Gold have nothing in common, but many say that Bitcoin is digital gold, it is not true.

gold is very good investment.. its value is different than bitcoin.. if the bitcoin is played by the whales and dump their bitcoin, price will fall down, but gold is stable

if I only have to choose one, I will buy gold with $ 1M worth of my investment. Because gold is a real asset, so it's not too risky for the next 10-20 years. But if I can share the investment for these two types of assets, I will buy 70% for gold, and 30% for BTC.

If i have 1M$ for invest i will invest 60% on bitcoin and 40% on gold. They can be compared but i think only from the total supply part, because they are a but different, while bitcoin is virtual coin, gold if phisical and need to be stored either on bank, and is much easier i think to sell and buy bitcoin then to buy and sell gold.

For long-term investments I agree with your opinion, it's better to save bitcoin because indeed this investment is a long-term investment and requires patience and research that is always updated. if you want to save gold there is also a good thing but with the benefits obtained it is clearly very different, more profitable for bitcoin.

actually  more than the gold Bitcoin will have bright future because it is developing now but gold has very low value and comparing to the Bitcoin but people trust will changing directly to Bitcoin in recent times that's why I am saying this.

Both having the good and promising features for the future so we can make everything while investment now and the future will really changed while we are investing in gold or Bitcoin but the problem is which will be the better investment and my opinion is both are useful so investment and both will really helpful in your future and don't trust a single thing for your future.

everyone invested in this world at least little bit in the gold but Bitcoin is developing now so lots of people don't have the opportunity to invest that's why I will not reaching the people mostly but if it once been experienced by the investors then no one will go to the gold that is the fact involved in this.

Gold is more stable than bitcoin but if you want to take the risk that will be significantly immense on your networth, try bitcoin. I believe that bitcoin is still in its early stage and its standard market price is yet to be defined till 5 - 10 years time

It has liquidity when you're trading futures. Otherwise you have to carry around your bullion or bars with you and wait almost as much as a confirmation can take for them to check if it's real and pay you. It's good to have gold to differentiate like it's good to have real estate and some other things but it shouldn't be your first choice.
I prefer bitcoins. Their only downside is volatility but in time it will disappear.

Gold is stable, bitcoin is unstable, but the chances of growing your money with btc are higher, it's true. So why not invest in both options? If I had 1 million of dollars that would be my decision. To diversify our funds is always a good idea, since we can't expect all investments will benefit us, some might fail.
Although bitcoin is a risky investment, I believe it's not going to be overcame in the next decades at least, I agree with you it's on its early stage. When we talk about crypto currency we think in bitcoin first, and there isn't any altcoin with enough status to take its position. The market prices are volatile, but the currencies that dominate the market tend to continue the same.

Gold prices are on the rise Bitcoin prices are on the rise. Bitcoin and Gold are not very independent. I think both of them are priced because they don't trust the economy.

for me gold and bitcoin is not an options,
because if we have enough money to buy gold and bitcoin for long term investments, thats will be good my friend
then, if i have $1M for sure i will buy bitcoin and gold

That's true, invest to bitcoin if you want a high reward. High risk high reward investment, but if you only need a safe investment then just invest into gold, it's more safety even if the price decrease, it will only a small one.

Different with bitcoin that the price can easily go down and go up.

I think gold and bitcoin are independent in the current period, it doesn't have any price relationship. The price fluctuations of both are completely different, you can get rich quick with bitcoin but that is not possible with gold.

Bitcoin is always used by those who want to take risks, and have high potential to double the profits they can get. well, for gold, it can be stored for a long time with little risk. it all depends on the type of user. but, for new entrepreneurs, I think they will choose bitcoin.

I think thats a fact because bitcoin is decentralized and can be mineable while gold do also come from the earth's soil and can also be mineable  .

I think thats also a fact because bitcoin is online and gold is offline , there is no solid relationship on them but both assets have a high value  .

Like i said earlier both have higher prices but bitcoin is a bit more expensive and can grow faster due to its volatile feature while gold is more on a stable side  

I think its also possible with gold but you need to have a bigger capital and you need to have a good trading skills while you can do it effortless with bitcoin  

Well, from what you say and many other tips here, between bitcoin and gold, we shouldn't have too much comparison when both have different negatives and positives, both are investments that are highly appreciated. And the criteria we can choose are depending on the purpose and level of risk that we can accept, if we don't understand and don't know how we want an investment, we should not invest, that just proves that we are a bad investor and have no knowledge, and continue to invest, it only wastes time and sometimes we will easily fall into loss.

Easy hold both asset classes.  Best to always diversify to begin with not only within one asset class but outside as well.  Both should fare well in the coming years.

People used to prefer gold, now they prefer Bitcoin. If I was going to buy Bitcoin or Gold I would definitely choose Bitcoin. As long as you buy Bitcoin at the right price, you can make a lot more profit.

If you think like the normal person the most of the advantage will going only with the gold because it is more profitable and stable for long time but Bitcoin has a huge value only but it will not give the assurance for the future this is the difference between them if a person wants to take risk then he will definitely go with Bitcoin only

i think historically gold is way more considered the real and the safest invesment but bitcoin is here to disrupt this idea in a people mind i don't think this will happens good luck for all bitcoin holders :)

I am more focused on investing in BTC than gold. BTC is rapidly able to provide a very high profit. But it also depends on the strategy you use. And it would be better when you can profit. The profit results can be you to buy gold in the real world.

Wanting to have both but I have mere time to get more gold today and that is the reason I have more time to catch up with bitcoin collection. Gold is tangible while bitcoin isn't, this is why traditional investors wanted more of gold but us who understood how quick bitcoin can move up and down sticks to it.

Interesting thinking.  I believe Bitcoin will revive Gold. People and countries will realize how important is to hold your Gold and your keys. Things backed by nothing will disappear.
