Bitcoin Forum

We all have different  prospective regarding the investment , be it long term or short term.

 Bitcoin has been the most amazing invention and has given massive return of investment for those who joined from 2013. From low point in 2013 to 20k in 2017, it has gone from one end to another end. Right now today its trading at $10461 per bitcoin. The prediction is with just 21 million maximum supply it will reach 1 million bucks per coin one day.

Gold has been one of the most popular investment for centuries. Every country or government be it in the past or present always prefer gold reserve over their own currency even to prepare themselves for financial meltdown. Right now GOLD is being traded at $1425/oz.

So my question is which one you would chose for your investment ? Which one you would chose to outperform the other ? GOLD or BITCOIN? Please tell us with a reason why ?

Thanks everyone for taking part in this discussion.

Not sure if I would call gold an "investment", it's more of a hedge.

Anyway, why not both? It's not one or the other. I'm bullish with bitcoin, but we should remember that it's not guaranteed to completely succeed. Putting literally everything on Bitcoin is taking a huge unnecessary risk. I'd personally put a significant amount on bitcoin, but majority would still be with gold as it's simply just a safer asset to park money in.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Without a doubt, it is a complicated query in which you ask about two commodities that currently move in the same price range, where it is clear it is important to forget about the short-term volatility of Bitcoin, as well as what concerns  to liquidity.

Certainly it can be argued that Bitcoin is more recent and has not established itself as such in the market, but in turn it is necessary to recognize that it is more useful in the digital age than gold.  Anyway, gold has a historical record that can not be disputed, which has even been responsible for being one of the most selected options to store value for thousands of years and for multiple human civilizations.

In my opinion, rather than asking which one is better between bitcoin and gold, it is more important to take advantage of both.

Bitcoin is a risky investment.
It may have a much higher yield than other assets, but it is much higher risk.  You can lose (a lot) money if you invest (a lot) money.  Or you can earn (a lot, but a lot) money by investing relatively (a little) money.  So the tip is to invest "some money you might lose".

Gold is a well-established commodity as a value keeper.
In general you do not earn or lose anything with gold, just do not fail to lose because of inflation.  It is very secure (as long as your investment is made in a sound financial institution).  So the tip is to invest "money that you do not want to lose".

Gold is more stable than Bitcoin.  But bitcoin is easier to increase than gold.  I agree with the view that both 2 should be chosen. In the long run, both growth will increase to 5 or 10 years.  I have seen many people invest bitcoin, the value of bitcoin has fallen in the short term and they have accepted losses and abandoned.  How to store these two types of assets is different.  For gold, it doesn't matter but with Bitcoin you have to regularly update the software for them.

I would rather go for both! I don't usually restrict myself from opportunities and gold is not actually an investment to me. Every month I invest some amount in gold through "systematic Investment plan". That is mainly I do to create wealth over long time which doesn't have much risk for negative return.

Whereas my bitcoin investment is purely a speculative investment. I would not invest in bitcoin for creating long term wealth because the risk is very high! So I would go with both for different reasons, but gold is my choice for long term wealth creation!

I'm another one who believes that you should hold both. I don't really see either as investments, but as a currency to carry me through the ecomomic chaos as fiat currencies are repaced. Gold coins like the English Soveriegn or Britannia will be more widely accepted globally than Bitcoin, but Bitcoin will be far easier to use for smaller transactions.

10 years ago I have chosen gold as money. I am orthodox and I bought a very valuable Gold Icon with Mother Marry.

Then they told me that I am schizofrenic because of this icon.  I was locked (as animals) for 3 months in hospitals together with people eating their shit, because of this.

7 years ago I have chosen bitcoin. I worked 6 years and helped 5000 students in this time. Then they said that I am violent, and  that I have psychic problems (I was solving Quantum Mechanics homework helping students, where the function psi is the wavefunction).


If I would invest in something for 100 years it would be 3 homes (a home in Southern Europe, probable in Italy or France), a loving wife, many good paintings and some loving children.

 

If you are thinking about very very long term, buy gold with %5 of your networth and forget its existence. Your grandson might find them helpful. Or maybe his sons.

If you are after big gains in the next 10 years, go bitcoin. (I would buy with 5-10% of the total networth to begin the journey and DCA from there.) The upside potential is huge.

well, gold and bitcoin do have the same potential if possessed by those who have the potential to use them. but, for people in general, I think, gold will be more worthy, because they feel it is more flexible, and can be used anywhere.

Let's be honest here. Me, I prefer gold as a form of investment. It's a no brainer. Gold is known as a valuable asset which overtime is gets higher and higher due to scarcity. It's advisable to invest on it since it's a long term investment and you know the profitability of it. Bitcoin is a short term investment. I said that because we don't know if how long can it be operating. There's so many factors and risks on investing on this kind of industry. What I mean the government regulations which threatening it's existence. They can just hang it whenever they want.

Bitcoin is a really good investment because of its ability to bring you huge gains, no doubt about that. But it is only for short term and not for long term. Good I think still a great contender among other investments.

I think that topic has been discussed multiple times on this forum. However, I have not interested to invest on gold and wondering why people will invest on gold. I can't see any reason to invest on gold but there is many reason why I need to invest on bitcoin if I have enough fund. For example bitcoin price could touch 10X from current rate at any time. But gold can't touch 10x within short time.

Why compare them because i think having both of them as future assets would be good rather than choose between bitcoin or gold and in my view both are good to be considered as long term investment but i would be honest if for long term purpose to hold for more than 10 years i would like to choose gold than bitcoin and my concern to pick gold because gold less of volatility than bitcoin

Bitcoin and gold are both different investment types, like real estate is another one, they all have different purposes. Gold investors aren't looking for outstanding performances, most of them are fine even with 0% yearly interest. Why? Because they're not here for a profit but to secure their funds. You don't invest in gold hoping it will outperform Bitcoin, this is insane.

When we hold bitcoins we're not doing it to secure a capital but to gamble hoping its value will increase, (we're are speculating)
If I'm looking to save some money in a safe way/place I'd rather buy a piggy bank or gold coins. If I'm ok to take some risks I would think to invest in volatile markets (whatever if it's in Bitcoin or not)


Investing in a loving wife. Yeah, I do this. It's called paying a prostitute. Guess what? The investment is here 1h and the value crash :D :D

If Bitcoin is Gold V2 as many like to say today, then I do not see any reason to not invest in Bitcoin. But since Bitcoin is relatively new technology, we can not say what will happen with him in next 10 years - so we can gamble and put all in on Bitcoin, or reduce risk by invest some money in other things like gold.

Gold has advantages over Bitcoin because it is here for thousands of years, it is relatively stable and it will be like that probably in future. But it is just store of value with unlimited supply, and I doubt price of gold can go significantly up.

On the other side is Bitcoin, we can call it digital gold because it is created in the process of digital mining, but with two very important differences - it is limited in supply and it can be used as currency. I mean that with all its advantages Bitcoin is worth of investing, and if we look in his history, what has been achieved over the past ten years is really impressive.

Even if price of Bitcoin is rise only 10x from today price in next 10 years, it would be great achievement to see that 1 Bitcoin is worth $100 000.

Bitcoin vs gold ,bitcoin is more valuable than gold for me but in capital market bitcoin price always unstable but gold prices are stable. So I prefer to invest in bitcoin rather than gold.

Bitcoin is really high at risk unlike gold, because it's volatile as said. It would still be based on you if you like high or low on volatility, for me I would still prefer Bitcoin if you like to boost the price of your investment fast, but expect to boost it lower as well.. Might as well before investing do some researches first.

It's a simple question for me. I've been thinking about it recently and I know the answer. I will invest in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. For me it is fundamentally

The value of Bitcoin is much higher than gold, I always think that BTC can replace gold. In general, gold and btc are the same, which is to keep speculating. Of course, the fluctuation of gold prices cannot be as strong as the price fluctuation of bitcoins. Here, it's more like investing in stocks.

I just spend my money into bitcoin and I never choose another place such as in gold or real estate to intend for investing. Actually I still young to start investing in GOLD because I still have a lot of pretension to buy everything that I wanted instantly. So, I choose bitcoin to spend my money for investing, I'm sure bitcoin is a place to buy that I wanted instantly because its movement price. And I'm short term investor, so far I only buy and sell bitcoin if I got profit from it, $100 or even $1000 I have got them since I started to invest in bitcoin. These things has made me comfortable to choose bitcoin and never tried to choose another place beside it.

That is a strong thinking if you feel that bitcoin will replace gold. But the way bitcoin is gaining popularity then who can blame anyone in thinking so.

Yes , investing in both are the best choice

I don't want to choose when I can choose both. Why should I gamble when there is a way for me to be secure. I am aiming for long-term investment and both are good for long-term investment.
Do not put your eggs on a single basket. I will put my money for both and I will surely win. Slowly but surely.

I would choose both.Gold gives more security and protection against a big market crash.
Bitcoin,on the other hand,has a bright future in the long term(if no crypto ban happens)so it has to do up and at least double it's price in the next 2-3 years.I'm not one of the insane bitcoin fanatics,predicting a 100K USD price by the end of 2020.

You know its far more easier to hide your bitcoin stash (a single piece of paper with a bunch of words written by hand) than a gold stash. You see, that piece of paper can literally hold billions of dollars (or a few cents).

I personally do not think that outrageous price you mention will be reached (unless USD collapses), so forget the get rich quick scheme, that only worked for the early investors, the later ones can make some money but are destined to never reach those gains. But, if you happen to have a bunch of gold lying around, you can actually trade it all for bitcoin and save a lot in the process. No more vault/bank renting, or hiring security guards, etc...

The mere existence of bitcoin might press against the gold price. I think at some point you will see some people selling their metals to go into Bitcoin, once they learn Bitcoin's benefits.

Think again. Your many stories high fortune can take the same space than 1¢: a piece of paper with a bunch of written words by hand... And if you are clever, you can even steno-graph those in some book or so...

There is probably going to be a new type of millionaire that remains hidden in plain view, someone who never works but doesn't appear to be in financial trouble either, ever. If the person is disciplined (no stupid "rich" life), he/she can spend the rest of their lives in complete anonymity.

There are always comparison with bitcoin vs gold. For a long term investment, if you want a secure profits then go for gold since the longer it stayed, the higher it's price. While bitcoin is volatile even if you hold it for a long term. Though i must say, I always envy bitcoin especially when it really boomed but the market is unpredictable and the risks is really high compare with gold. But I can prove to you that bitcoin for a long term investment is really really profitable.

I would invest in bitcoin cos of its rapid price appreciation,even though it may experience some decline but in the long run,there is so much to gain

 Considering the key differences between Bitcoin, one of the major cryptocurrencies, and gold, enables traders to make informed decisions and capitalize on price movements. The main differences include volatility levels, storage procedure, and sources of demand.

In my situation, I will invest in Bitcoin. It is hard to get gold without using your own money not like in crypto currency where there are a lot of things to do to earn satoshis by just sitting in front of your computer.

I prefer to choose bitcoin and gold together as the investment for the long term because both bitcoin and gold can work together to give a big profit for us. Besides that, for buying both bitcoin and gold, we don't have to buy a full 1 bitcoin or 1 gold, but we can buy with a small fraction and keep it for a long time. But some people prefer to buy bitcoin only because they feel too risky to save gold in their home and that could attract thief to steal the gold. And if they invest in bitcoin, they can keep their secret and not says to other people on where they keep the bitcoin.

With what I have in the form of fiat I'll invest into bitcoin, because after years I don't think we'll get an opportunity to buy at such a low price as now. This could get good profit in the long term as well could go low which we need to understand and invest.

For gold investment I'll keep a very small fund separate from my earning for every month. This will make a stable investment as well there won't be much of growth experienced over the same in the long term. As it has high liquidity than bitcoin this will serve as a investment for immediate needs.

i would invest in both for a simple reason: both are quantity limited.
Let me clarify a bit, besides the gold already in the market with different forms, the effort to find, mine and create ingots or jewels is quite high, hence the value.
BTC and gold are both a long term investment, with BTC you can play with the market for some short trades gains.

OP, hodling gold might take you 100 years more to get the same profit against hodling Bitcoin for 5 years. More volatility is stressful, but it will pay off faster. Plus you're involved in the new paradigm shift. That's something to be proud, and tell your grandchildren. 8)

That seems rational. I, however, would choose Bitcoin and perhaps some other cryptocurrencies over gold. The reason for this is that gold has been around for too long and pretty much everyone believes it's a good investment. But Bitcoin, while seems to be a secure long-term investment to me, is way less known and is still very new. Gold is literally unable to bring even comparable profits. Over the last 5 years, the price went from $42k/kilo down to $34k/kilo and up to $45.6k/kilo. These fluctuations are tiny and even insignificant if compared to Bitcoin. After all, over the last 5 years, Bitcoin went from $500/coin down to $200/coin, up to $20k/coin and is currently worth $10k/coin. So if you bought Bitcoin 5 years ago and just cashed out now, you'd have 20x profit. Compare it to less than 1.1x with 5 years of gold.

It is wise to diversify. I don't see gold as an investment for growing, its more like a refuge to not lose (because all fiats lose, albeit most do it slowly). Gold price has matured over time, it is generally considered that it won't have a sudden price fluctuation, but unlike bitcoin this is not a given. People say there is not much more gold, but there is, maybe not on earth but in space... In 50~100 years maybe someone finds a rock full of gold and bring it. Of course most people here are not worried for such long terms, but some entities should.

Suppose you are both believer and scared of bitcoin, what do you do? You put half in gold and half in bitcoin. If bitcoin crashes (unlikely) your other half is safe. If bitcoin goes moon, half your fortune multiplies. Yes, you would have gotten more if you committed all of it, but if you are wrong you would have lost all your fortune. Never put all your eggs in the same basket... This is easier for those with capital, ironically, those with more money can make more money without fear that those with few or little money to invest who end making more mistakes and losing more.

Of course, i already mentioned before the inconvenience and security issues of actually holding gold. With crypto you can be a closet millionaire, without anyone ever suspecting anything...

Bitcoin. Gold is ancient. If you have disposable income then you can spend some of it on gold. Basically buying gold just because you can. You should be seeing bitcoin as a currency and not so much as an investment.
Or at least both. Maybe it is like stocks you can trade with? An investment you can spend directly?

The moment someone mines an asteroid, gold's scarcity will be a thing of the past. And on the time scales you need to become wealthy from just investing in gold then that's not a far fetched concern. Bitcoin on the other hand is a fixed supply in perpetuity. I'd go with bitcoin but as many others have said it's always good to diversify with uncorrelated assets, a little cash, a little gold, a little crypto, some stocks (I'd avoid bonds at this point), real estate, fine art, wherever you can park your wealth.

Where gold moves slower price wise it is the save pick but with Bitcoin following the same direction and still has allot to gain it may be a better option to go for long term as investment. The additional value Bitcoin adds over gold is that it can be used to easily send/receive by anyone anywhere what could make it a global currency.

I am a person who is not complicated. I choose Bitcoin. Because I can access from wherever and whenever my assets. This is the advantage of Bitcoin. And the benefits that can be received if investing in Bitcoin can be more than gold that tends to have stable prices.

there are so many threads like this before ( gold vs btc  , btc vs gold ) but this one of yours is different and i think i never seen this before because you asking if which one is the best for long terms  .  so my answer will be gold not because im a suporter of gold and i hate btc but infact i love btc and i hodl btc  , its just gold is already proven for many years  and there will always be a market for gold in the future even no golds can be mined on earth but for btc , its still no assurance that it will last forever   .once people stop using btc  , there will be no markets for it 

Hey
I think for the safe side if the country allows and everything goes well I would definitely buy bitcoins in this time , we already know it is going to be the golden years for bitcoins soon therefore I think right now the best investment would be Bitcoins.
Gold is slow and steady and the growth rate is good when you think about the long term investments but at the same time freedom that you have regarding the dealing with gold is kind of less , you know therefore I think if you are going for the slow and steady gold is the best but if you want to make real profit and are ready to risk it then there is nothing better than bitcoins.

Both are good for investments but if you will only choose one then i will go for gold as the price is stable and steadily increasing as the time goes by. In fact my gold wedding ring which is i bought 10 years ago for the price of $200 is now became $400 per appraisal value.

How long is your long term?

I would choose Bitcoin if its 5 years more or less. The longer the higher the risk with Bitcoin. If its 10 or 20 years, I would rather go for gold. It has been here for thousands of years, no way its value will perish in the next decade or two.

But then again, we humans have the penchant of putting ourselves in an unnecessary quandary we ourselves make. Indeed, why not go for both?

I'm not investing in Gold because I don't know how but I think choosing both of them to invest for the long term is better idea compare to just choosing one of them.

Diversifying your portfolio is better as an investor compare to just putting your money into one investment only. What is important is you know the risks when you are investing in both of them and be ready in times you face the worst.

Both of them can be chosen. If anyone want to have safe and secure investment with low profit, then gold is for  them. If anyone want to have risk investment with high/low profit, then bitcoin is for them.
Personally i would choose to invest bitcoin for long term because of getting high profit although its dangerous & worth can be hacked. Reason behind choosing bitcoin is, i think bitcoin will have dominance in the world and probably fiat will be replaced by bitcoin

Yaps, at the very least, with both, we know which set will greatly benefit us. it's just that, I agree, when holding bitcoin for about 4 - 5 years, it might make good profits, and even faster than gold. I'm also more likely to choose bitcoin over gold in this case. apart from that, I will certainly still adopt gold, because it's very good for a longer period of time than bitcoin.

If you look at it from a stable investment point of view, i think i would go for gold, the profit may not be huge but at least with gold their is very minimal price volatility that could bring heartache, but if you are looking to earn huge profit, then btc is the right choice but you have to endure the constant fluctuation in price.

Yes, You are right. Your worth can be hacked. But that's impossible if you hold your bitcoins is a safe wallet. Note that your golds can be also stolen. Bitcoin is more safe as you can be the only person who knwo you have bitcoin.

I'm not aware of the legislation in your country regarding the sales of physical Gold, but in my case Gold up to an amount of €10,000 is just as easily purchased as new headphones for example. Above €10,000 sellers by law ar obliged to ask you for your ID.

The only bit of research you have to do is what online seller offers the closest to spot price because when you buy Gold in smaller quantities, there is quite a large premium to pay in relation to the actual spot price. Alternative option to purchase small amounts without the premiums are CFD's, but just like I always recommend people to own their private keys, I recommend people to own physical Gold themselves.

Agree, we need to determine how long for our long term is, if it is only relative, bitcoin is probably still good for that time but longer, Gold is always a fixed choice when so many people understand how valuable gold is to be sustainable over the years, but life is like you say, it never has so much difficulty, we can all go in both directions as long as we like. We should automatically set our long-term time, we will be profitable according to our calculations, do not need to follow long-term time that others set out

This is a very difficult question to answer. This is a personal opinion. If it is my own, I will still choose BTC. Now BTC is still in the bear market. Now investing in BTC, the income in the next few years will be great!

Gold will give you much stable and much more predictable income. Btc may give your 1000% of income or near 100% loose. Thats all about risks

for long-term investments I prefer gold because gold is tangible, that's the safest way I think for long-term investment but for trading of course I will choose bitcoin because of the very fast price movements.
many say investing in bitcoin for the long term is very good but I don't want to take risks for the foreseeable future, no one can guarantee it will succeed, all the possibilities can still happen.

I have a bit of gold in the form of old jewelry and some old silver coins and cups. Some were made in the late 18th century so I just don't feel the need to get rid of them. I'm not buying more gold or silver, unless these are gifts for women, but I cherish the things that were given to me by friends and family.
If I were to buy something investment-wise, I'd choose bitcoin for many reasons. It's easier to sell, easier to carry around, get on a plane when you're moving, easier to hide from thieves. Also, it has a bigger potential.

Comparing asset that has a hundred years of trading history and on the other hand asset that has 10 years history.

I believe gold is safe for the store but gold already had its golden years. Hard to imagine gold can pump 100% or more which is not the case in BTC.

BTC and whole crypto are still in an early stage. With every trading/investing you need to be careful but in the long run, I see BTC more profitable than gold.

In the end, you can split investment 50% 50% to play it safe.

I would not compare Bitcoin and gold. They have a different history, purpose, applicability. Gold will be in demand for a long time at least for the needs of production. Gold for savings purposes is used in less quantity than for the manufacture of real goods. It is not correct to compare cryptocurrency and gold. The precious metal will always be in demand, growing in price (although slowly).

Investing in Gold is not as profitable as it was in some decades back and looking at the bitcoin ecosystem, you can not really calculate your profit margin within a specific period of time. With these, I don't really think i will invest in either Gold or Bitcoin for a long term investment plan.  I will prefer  either a short term investment plan or daily trading with Bitcoin than a long term investment.

For the past several months or even few years though, Bitcoin has been compared to gold. Hot debates have been conducted along this comparison. Basically the comparison is on the basis of which is better as an investment or an asset or a store of value, with Bitcoin even proclaimed as the digital gold. Their uses as well as their intrinsic value have also been touched.

However, I don't think it is really necessary to compare the two. You do not have to put an "or" in between when you can put an "and". But if we talk of very long term investment as in 20 years or more, I guess you have to be safer and put more on the one who has already survived through eras and millennia.

Gold has been used for centuries and it was the foundation of all the money out there, it was being used in trading goods and etc. while Bitcoin emerges only for several years.

But if you are going to compare the two in the current time then I will definitely choose bitcoin because I can gain a lot from it due to it's increasing price and demand. I can definitely gain a good amount of profit from it compare to gold.

The only thing that I still see with gold is that it is legally accepted and can also be used as payment and exchange for things, can also be accepted as collateral for banks if the need arises and some other few advantages of it that I can’t remember right now, but for investment, I am not still sure that gold is very perfect for investment because if you look at the growth of gold price, it is much low.

The one reason why people just buy gold sometimes is to use it to tie their money down and at least it can still be resold, but when it comes to real investment, I think bitcoin outperform gold, if you really want to know which one is actually the best, government would have just pronounced bitcoin legal for one day and you will see how much bitcoin will change the life of so many people that invested in it overnight.

You can have both. It's a good thing to invest in bitcoin since the possibility of price increase. Especially in this modern era where technology is a already a part of human life. But having a gold is also good. It's limited and from nature. As the time goes by, gold are becoming more limited, and I think its value will also increase by that time.

But personally, I would prefer bitcoin

I would like to choose bitcoin, but don't you feel that this can all end? Maybe in 10 years there will no longer be such a thing as bitcoin. Yes, maybe crypto will develop into something else, but for now, I prefer gold.

Bitcoin is the least scamy of all money. No one can print bitcoin because he wants too. We need to solve a hard mathematical equation to produce 1 Bitcoin. It's actual labour that produces it, and those who put on the labour take the fraction they helped create. This doesn't happen with any other money, asset, good or service.

Bitcoin trading now, yes, that can be made a scam by some. But that's not inherrent in bitcoin. Bitcoin was not made to be traded like a market asset though. So no, Bitcoin is not a scam.

prefer gold because the status is real and good for the long term going forward even though there is also a supply of bitcoin but in terms of price rises and falls can be very far, compared to gold ,so if told to choose, choose gold over bitcoin everything is better in investing bitcoin and gold
so if the price of bitcoin falls, there is a backup of gold as well if the price of gold falls there is a backup of bitcoin

Well if you are looking to earn good profit within the shortest possible time then btc is the right option no doubt about it although the risk involve is very huge as well, btc we all is very unstable in terms of price so only those who are willing to take risk will want to invest, gold on the other hand is a very stable commodity compare to btc, it is an investment for everyone, i mean some women literally buy gold chains, ear rings, etc as a store of value, they can't do that with btc, but for someone like me, i will probably go for btc.

Bitcoin and Gold, they both will rise in values next years. They might rise considerably if Mr.Trump win his second tenure. However, if you ask me which asset I would prefer for my portfolio between Gold and Bitcoin. My answer is : "Definitely, I choose bitcoin for my port folio, only bitcoin. I will all in invest in bitcoin"

It is really a good way to diversify, I think we have to just make investment into both, because there will be some points in time where gold will function where bitcoin cannot function, and also bitcoin function where gold cannot function. It would not be bad to just put in money into both for future.

Gold has been on for years, and for the next 500 years, gold will still exist and it has grown too high for people to forget it easily while bitcoin is good because it is a new system and as people fall in love with it, it creates demand which then create and increased value. So there is still large space for bitcoin to really grow in value while it would be best for people to make their investment right now to grow along with the system of bitcoin that is gradually taking over the world.

Good is traditional mean of value, and Bitcoin will become a second biggest one, soon. Bitcoin and block chain technology have changed the world, and Bitcoin will take over the leading position of Gold as main mean of value storage soon. By now, people still hesitated because highly changing in Bitcoin price, but over next few years, 4 or 6, I believe they will change their perspective on Bitcoin.

During the past three months, gold prices have gone up like crazy (from $1,300 per oz to $1,500 per oz). And as long as the trade war between the United States and China lingers on, don't expect these prices to go down. On the other hand, if there is no improvement in the trade relation between both the countries, then we can expect gold prices to hit a new ATH by 2019 end, and may probably end up at $2,000 per oz or more. There are reports from India that gold consumption is going up there, after a brief lull.

Now coming to Bitcoin, it is similar to gold in many cases. Neither the prices, nor the supply can be controlled by the government. If the user base expands, then Bitcoin can become a reliable store of wealth, just like gold. Right now we have close to 200 million users (although the number of users may be lower). And there can be only 21 million coins in existence after the mining is completed. That accounts for roughly 0.1 BTC per user, and the proportion is going down with every passing year.

Don't forget that the raw material for gold will not exist forever and if the raw material is almost gone, the price of gold will become expensive and that means, you can make a lot of money from gold. I think choosing both gold and bitcoin will be a good decision for you because you can have two types of investment which will give you a big profit in the future. But that will be your decision on what you will choose later, and if you still choose bitcoin only, then that will be good for you.

Despite the fact that Bitcoin (https://coincodex.com/crypto/bitcoin/?period=7D) is headed lower than $10K, it still got strong support which could lead to a rebound!

For me, Gold and Bitcoin are absolutely two different assets. Gold is a more stable and proven asset, Bitcoin is incredibly dynamic and volatile. You have to decide for yourself how you want to make a profit. One thing is for sure, both assets are profitable

Well, in my view, we should invest on this field which we have information and skill, May be gold is more profitable or not, but i have no experience in gold that's why i will choose Bitcoin. I know about bitcoin from 2015 and bitcoin is great investment for me, so definitely i will choose bitcoin.
I have only one reason that i have skill and knowledge of bitcoin investment and this investment will give you profit which you know about it very well. 

Since they are both profitable,we should learn to invest in both as much as possible.We all know that bitcoin will give us bigger profits than gold but the fact that it's more volatile and always have unstable value,then we can't assure that it will lasts for longer years.We should not forget that gold has been here already for centuries so it's more proven already as a safe investment.

I don't understand the logic in claiming that gold is a stable asset. Check the historical gold prices. They have been anything but stable and for me gold is as volatile as any other asset. Gold price was $36 per oz in 1970 and by 1980 it had increased to $615 per oz. The again it went up from $270 in 2001 to $1,800 in 2012. Then a dip took the prices from $1,800 to $1,200. Can you call such an asset as stable?

Bitcoin has more utility value in a technologically oriented world & its value will continue to grow as economies become more digitised. Gold on the other hand has been used for thousands of years as a proven asset & is not dependent on the internet, thus harder to regulate by the government, if they decide to do so.

I would argue that gold is very easy for gov't to regulate. There is ample history showing this.

Gold, because we know 100% gold will be used in the future, all our tech in space will need gold.

Something better will replace bitcoin in the next 10 years.
Something where everyone makes the supply at the same rate.
Something where every participant is 1 vote on the network instead of the rich controlling the network, everyone will, 51% attacks will be deleted.

Gold will be needed for sat`s, computers and spaceships, bitcoin will not.

I want you to take a look at history as it tends to repeat itself.

“Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value -- zero.”
Bitcoin is not a paper money, but it`s intrinsic value is 0, it will return there someday, along with the USD and other fiats.
Actually bitcoin`s intrinsic value is a negative same as fiat money on paper.

Commodity money like Gold will always have value, for itself is the value.

Expect my new creation to replace bitcoin and fiat money, I am about to release my project in 2 months It should be ready for public use.
Everyone will create the supply via Duration at the same rate and it will be backed by time. You won`t even need a good computer to obtain it, or a computer. You will just need to register on a public computer or phone.  I will issue a card to you for free when that is done.  You won`t even need a phone to obtain or use it.

Bitcoin is the representation of all things crypto. If you invest in Bitcoin, it is an investment into the cryptocurrency industry - including Ethereum, Monero, Ripple. And I don't think innovation in this space will die down.

From what I can deduce from your points here, you are indirectly advising us then to go for the two because they bit have a very bright future, and good thing is that both serves as digital assets too and gold can also be used as payment same way as bitcoin, just that bitcoin comes with a decentralized payment system while gold is fully decentralized.

For investment, best to just be a part of both, but for payment and utility, I think making use of bitcoin is much more better, because it makes it cheaper to transact business, while gold maybe more expensive and one other thing I see with gold is that it is also highly volatile too, the price of gold could crash at any time, leaving the investors to sell cheaper than what they bought since they use it as store of value and will always need to sell it for something.

Feds cut the interest rate, increasing fears of new recession.

US economy has been on a 10yr bull run without a major correction. Last recession was in 2008, and we didn't hit bottom until around 2010 when things finally started to rebound. And it still took another 2-3 years before economy really started to pick itself up and shake the dust off. Of course, the catalyst for that collapse was the bank-loans-for-housing scandal. What will be the catalyst this time that pushes us over the cliff?

Watch the price of gold closely. It's been pumping since the beginning of the year. Why? Because the big institutions know what's coming.

Pull up a chart of gold between 2008-2012 if you want to see what the price of gold does during a recession.

No telling what crypto will do. Most think it will pump, but honestly, nobody has a clue as this would be the first real recession during crypto era.

Gold is the best pick for investment though it could change soon. Although Gold is a smart investment asset due to its real value and historical reliability, BTC is also starting to become an option worth investing.
I’d keep a small amount both in my account since these two have great rising potential. 

Bitcoin will increase in value by 10x or more over the next several years.

Gold will increase by 5x at the most.

Easy decision right.

Why would you choose one if you can invest on both? Since both of them have a large price amount it is good to invest on bitcoin and gold. In case one of them drop who have the other option.

With the high volatility of Bitcoins because it's a new currency and it's unpredictability, it would be safe and wise to invest in a stable and secure commodity like gold, because I have noticed that whenever stocks and other investments tends to fail massively, everyone seems to fall back on Gold to help reduce their losses.

I will go all in for gold.Why?gold is very well established store of value ever since the old days.I trust gold more than bitcoin because bitcoins is still an online commodity.Theres a high chance that bitcoin will die out in the future.Plus that even tho golds value is slowly increasing through years its price growth is sure compared to bitcoin.

These investments are different... gold is something that will always retain value and due to it's scarcity and increasing use, it will tend to rise in price... it is more of an hedge...
Bitcoin, although it has been a really good investment on the past years, has a track record of serious fluctuations and as it is something new, it has an unpredictable future...
I would have to invest in both, splitting my investment into 2 risk classes  ;)

Bitcoin and Gold are both great for investment and they have their own purpose. Gold is good for long time investment because the stability and the physical value than Bitcoin. If you are doing a short time investment then I truly suggest that go for Bitcoin especially for its ability to have a higher value on a limited time.

I can't agree with what you had posted. Bitcoin is not very suitable for short-term investment, as we have seen during the past 1-2 years. If you want good returns from Bitcoin, then you must be ready to hold on to the coins for at least three years. After the ATH was achieved in 2017, almost two years have passed and the prices are yet to recover to those levels.

everyone has a different type characteristic. for people who believe on technology and ready to take a big risk with possibly high return valuebitcoin is the best choice, even though the risks are still high. because no one knows what will happen in the future. but for people who are realistic and don't believe in payment technology and crypto gold isn't bad either. Gold is accepted in all countries.

As a non-rich person, I would rather invest in Bitcoin than Gold, because with bitcoin you can have a small amount in our pocket. But Gold you can't buy the cheap you have, but at what price it is at the market for what you buy. Just think that for only $ 10 you can buy bitcoin but in gold, you can't buy that value. I mean I can say that bitcoin has no choice over who should buy it.

Of course, my sympathies are more for bitcoin, although my woman definitely prefers gold, and I'm not so stupid as to completely ignore her opinion. :)

But seriously, gold has something else (https://goldsilver.com/blog/these-gold-investors-got-your-back-jack/) to its advantage.

No need to make hard choices. Just split your portfolio and get two of them or more. This is called diversification, it is for avoiding risks. Personally, I am a fan of bitcoin buy I might keep some others as well.

Definitely gold. It is a proven and effective investment. Gold market is regulated, while cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin itself still have problems with adoption. The importance of gold and its price only grow over the years, so I would invest in gold with no doubt.

We can think of Bitcoin as a digital but stronger version of gold. Bitcoin is very new compared to gold. Bitcoin has much more potential when we compare it with gold. Bitcoin already started to get ahead of gold.

Gold for sure.I trust gold more than bitcoin because gold is the oldest store of value plus that god is trusted by most of the billionares out there so why not chose the most trusted type of investment rather than risking money to bitcoin if you really wanna profit

A few months ago, I heard that scammers began to fake gold, and now there are fake gold bars in the gold reserves. This is really the problem of this asset, Bitcoin cannot be faked and blah blah blah. However, the gold is material, it is a necessary metal, it is a value. It seems to me that in the long run gold is more reliable and profitable than anything.

Both could be profitable.
It all depends on your personal preferences. I consider investing in gold as a more stable and less risky than investing in the cryptocurrencies. But let's face it: investing in the cryptocurrencies is our future, gold is something more "classic". To me, cryptocurrencies are more interesting than gold... But as I've said - this is all about your preferences.
Moreover, investing in gold is definitely safer to me. There are a lot of scams in the cryptocurrency market.

Well we have really lost count as this topic has been discussed thousands of times in this forum and as you have mentioned most of us will go for gold because we have physical entity when it comes to gold against volatile and digital crypto market but early adopters of bitcoin will vouch for bitcoin itself as we need to look into bigger picture like where bitcoin was 10 years ago and where it is now and where it will be after a decade.

in case of investments, we can highlight two options

1. safe. no guaranties to earn high profit and high ROI
2. speculative and unsafe. potentially could be lucrative and high ROI, but very risky to loose all

obviously gold is 1st option. it is legal in many countries, banks has special products for gold. and even after WW3 you could exchange your gold for something useful, an AK47 for example  ::)
bitcoin is a second option, any time, any government can say any operation in bitcoin is illegal and by doing so (being an investor ) you may become a criminal, which is not the right way to do business for a investor  8)

Long-term: GOLD
Short and Long-term: BITCOIN

What makes gold valuable is its inherent nature being a precious material and a limited-supply asset. The continuous demand for gold is determined by the quantity of people who are willing to purchase it at a designated price. In addition, being a tangible investment, there are various uses for gold which would increase its demand overtime.

In bitcoin, although people have disagreements about it being a store-of-value or not, its volatility is what makes it a valuable short or/and long-term asset. Depending on its price, you can purchase/sell depending on the market price or value. Unfortunately, the current state of cryptocurrencies are still shaky which is why a full-wide adoption is yet to be expected.

Let me tell you a method to decide which option to choose in every situation.
List the pros of every option and then assign 1 point of every pros.
Also you can decide the proportion of your investment by this method.

For example, when it comes to bitcoin vs gold (just an example)

Bitcoin
Good returns
Good potential
Good liquidity
Low fees

Gold
Good liquidity
Low risk

In this case, 4 points for bitcoin and 2 points for Gold. So investing in bitcoin would be a better choice.
If you want to distribute it among the two then the proportion would be 2:1 meaning about 60% in bitcoin and 40% in gold  ;D ;D

I will go for bitcoin 10 times overs. Bitcoin is more profitable campared to GOLD.
Bitcoin is medern GOLD 2.0 - Bitcoin is a digital store of value that is lightweight and accessible from everywhere online.

Bitcoin was definitely more profitable than gold in the past. But there is no guarantee that things will remain so in the future. Ever since 2017, we have seen the Bitcoin prices tumbling from $20,000 per coin to $3,000 per coin. We have seen altcoins such as Cardano losing 98% of the value during the same duration. Even Ethereum lost 95% of its value during 2018. Now I am not sure whether any of these cryptocurrencies will attain the levels they achieved in 2017 ever again.

Now let's take a look at gold. Ever since 2012, gold has given more than 30% returns. So far this year, gold has given more than 15% returns to those who had invested in it. And central banks continue to amass gold bars (especially those in Russia and China). Demand from individual users in India and other countries remain low, but there are some encouraging signs.

I believe both Gold and Bitcoin are very good investments, that is if you can afford both.
Gold is the quintessential standard of investments and wealth. It's growth and value is
untarnished for years. Bitcoin on the other hand is also remarkable and is the standard
in crypto investments. I think if one possess the capabilities and financial resources to
invest on both, then that is indeed a very profitable and remunerative choice and position.

It's hard to choose between the two because they both have a big chance of making a profit. But I still prefer to invest in BITCOIN. I was one of those who reached the price of 200 $ to 300 $ in those days when I did not believe bitcoin would be worth it.

So today I continue to believe the 20,000 $ price will come back.

Bitcoin vs Gold? this question is classic but always interesting to discuss. 8)
because I hope and believe that one day bitcoin will beat gold, then I prefer investing in bitcoin over gold.

Not without reason I prefer bitcoin over gold. One of them is bitcoin increasingly calculated by most of the big companies in the world.
This is a good sign for bitcoin.I'm very sure too bitcoin can penetrate above 20,000 $.
So it's a choice for me for a long term investment in bitcoin. If I'm lucky there will be a big profit for me from Bitcoin. :P

It is simple in my case.I don"t buying gold and i don"t like gold like a investment
There is too much suffering behind gold.Wars, slavery,blood.Countries with gold resources have to be reachest on that planet.But look Sudan what a poverty look Mali.Black people are working so hard in RSA gold mines but all profit is going to white lords
Even cost of gold input is higher than input of bitcoin

You should not invest either only in gold, or only in bitcoin or other cryptocurrency. These are various financial assets with different risks, profitability, liquidity and other functionalities. It is also impossible to tell in advance the percentage ratio of these investments, since it depends on the state of these different types of markets and specific life circumstances. So it is better to keep your funds in various currencies, it will be more reliable.

The problem with the choices given is we don't know the Bitcoin dominance in the cryptocurrency market in the long run(that is, in the next decades), while gold will be what it is during our whole life. But gold is expensive and you won't see big returns from it, even if the geopolitical situation goes from bad to worse. Gold is not feasible for small investor because of too many fees to invest on it.

So the answer would be Gold if one has already a big capital or plans to grow his capital outside the crypto world, but Bitcoin for those of us that have little and the only hope to get a better financial situation is some kind of hyper deflation miracle.

If the question was Cryptocurrencies vs Gold, I would go all in in cryptocurrencies now, however, if I'm allowed to change the portfolio if the situation changes

Gold is very difficult to buy and store comparing it to that of Bitcoin . This makes Gold a bad option to invest in since buying and storing of Gold might an average person a long time to actually get all the paperworks done. But with Bitcoin, anybody can easily obtain it without needing to go through any paperworks in order to own it.  With Bitcoin, you can easily store it without needing a third party to keep them safe comparing to that of Gold. I will also perfer to invest in bitcoin for a long-term rather than Gold.

If for a long term investment I also prefer gold. Because the price of gold is always stable and gold is the real thing that every day we can wear.

But I am also aware that Bitcoin can provide greater profit. And what you are saying is that the peak of Bitcoin's success took place in 2017, where I also had many advantages.

But with the passage of time Bitcoin began to decline. But until now can still give a profit, but depending on the way you invest and trade.

if I am told to choose to invest for the long term, between the choice of Bitcoin and Gold, I choose Bitcoin as an investment asset. I have never once invested with gold because in my opinion gold is rather difficult to exchange with fiat money. because of this I prefer Bitcoin because of the ease of investing in Bitcoin and also because of the unstable price of Bitcoin which can make bitcoin holders get a daily profit

I'll definitely choose bitcoin when it comes to making an investment for the long term.
Bitcoin is a very new form of investment with huge potential, yet more volatile and profitable.
Gold is a very old form of investment compared to bitcoin, yet more stable and less volatile.
Gold is more like fiat currency because it's centralized and controlled by the government. 

I would put my bet on Bitcoin, simply because bitcoin is just starting it only start in 2009 yet it has now become a trend, it has a high value and high volatility rate compared to gold. Bitcoin was likely made for investment, to become an asset like gold but more contemporary. Gold takes a lot of space while Bitcoin could only be stored in a secured drive which saves a lot of space. Gold is not attainable for small investors, unlike bitcoin. But despite their differences, they have their own strengths that can not found in other one.

Both Bitcoin and god have there own uniqueness and features I believed we shouldn't ignore one for another because the diversify strategy are the best way of making passive and intact income using both we be good.
Mind you, fiat currency are losing value everyday but Bitcoin and gold are the only liberation we have. Besides, Bitcoin is not the only digital store now for gold also a digital store either through Digital gold token project platform (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5161544.0).

In my opinion, bitcoin and gold are only similar in that they have a limited number of their volumes.  One could say that Bitcoin and gold are by far the most sought-after asset for investing, but I believe that gold is more stable than Bitcoin.  Although Bitcoin can bring dozens of times more profit, at the same time a very big risk remains.

 I share a similar topic, which I developed in my local Spanish forum, it is interesting that you can see the valuable opinions of my colleagues.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5179419.0


I believe that Gold is very stable and it is the most sought after history, it cannot be compared with BItcoin, Bitcoin is 10 years old, Bitcoin has a lifetime, in time immemorial the payment method was through gold.

The only thing comparable between Bitcoin and Gold, is that both represent money, and to have a complete diversification it is of high priority to have gold, as an alternative option that can be used before any event.

Bitcoin is just for short-term, high risk, high reward investment. If you're aiming for long-term investments, I would go for gold. Some reasons include but not limited to: Gold's price is more stable and is most likely to increase in price since its supply is limited, Gold is something tangible while Bitcoin just exists in the digital world, and you'll be likely to sell your Bitcoin earlier since price dips would drive your emotion and destroy your hopes of long-term investment.

I prefer bitcoin over gold. Today Bitcoin has grown to become the most popular digital currency. So that bitcoin is more potential to provide greater profits than gold. With a limited amount of only 21 million coins in the world. Will make the price of bitcoin increase with increasing demand for bitcoin. While the amount of gold cannot be estimated with certainty because until now gold continues to be mined.

I preferred to invest Bitcoin over gold because now it has a high value which is very good because a lot of people will benefits on it as long as you'll hold it, the more profits you will get because day by day Bitcoin get's stronger. I will choose Bitcoin as my long term investment and also gold for short term investment I guess this is pretty good idea.

I think it depends on the person but me personally I think I invest on both. Both have its advantages and disadvantages. The good thing about gold is that you cannot lose money because as time passes by, its values only increases but you can only felt that on a long term. I'm bitcoin you can earn so much overnight but you can also lose so much. I think in a long term gold has the edge but I invest on both.

Well i am supporting bitcoin since 2016 and i will not stop supporting and investing on bitcoin as long as i have money, even gold is also a good investment i am more confident that investment on bitcoin will give me more amount of profit in the future especially when btc price will increased again up to $20k.

I would choose Bitcoin to invest in the long term. Despite being much newer than gold, Bitcoin improved itself substantially just in 10 years from the start. It shows us that it carries a very big potential in it. So, I think that investing in Bitcoin rather than gold is a wiser move.

Gold and bitcoin have different ways of moving and both are very good for investing, the price of gold is expensive but stable and bitcoin is very volatile and the price can exceed the price of gold.
and I will choose both of them to invest in the long term with the method when I benefit from the results of bitcoin, a small portion of the profits will be used to buy some gold in stages.

If we have to compare gold and btc in the longтepм, there is smaller risk in investing in gold. By btc there is a risk of deflation, but the chances of winning are higher as well. If you know how to handle with btc, then you have to invest in it.

in the long run I think gold is very good, but for very fast price movements it might be won by bitcoin but the risk of bitcoin does have a very high risk, this is what makes many investors more careful when they want to invest in bitcoin .

Practically I will go for bitcoin on a long-term investment method rather than gold. Personally I have tested the two and found that; bitcoin us more value on a long-term investment than the gold. Gold is a good investment for long-term but cannot be compare to bitcoin.

Currently the price of gold has fallen deeper than that of bitcoin, bitcoin still be able to withstand many odds to stand tall in the face of the bears.

Looking at the possibility in their profits earn during investment, bitcoin will be the most risking investment compare to gold, reason be that; the volatility of bitcoin is very high than the gold, your invest tied to bitcoin depends on the movement in bitcoin and when there is a dip, there will be a huge lost compare to investment in gold. Also, as bitcoin investor you must be patient to hold your worth till the rise in it price. The two are good investment platform with risk involved.

In ways that are many, gold is the special metal counterpart on the bitcoin. Just like the bitcoin, gold should be acquired through mining. Nevertheless, while gold is acquired through bodily mining, bitcoins need to be "mined" virtually via the decoding of unique computer encryptions. Another similarity is the fact that both gold & bitcoins are only offered in quantities that are limited. It's believed that there's around 171,000 metric tons of yellow in the planet, even though the Bitcoin product will just be in a position to produce and help support a maximum of 21,000,000 bitcoins until additional technical developments are made. Given such parallels and their personal market activity in the last several years, it's clear why many think that bitcoin may eventually change gold in terms of value. Nevertheless, in spite of the evidence, there are a variety of explanations why this shift is not likely to happen. The very first reason that the bitcoin won't ever change gold is since it also poses a good deal of fiscal risk. Despite its recent peaks in market worth, the bitcoin will continue to feel considerable price fluctuation which usually leads to losses that are substantial. Moreover, both the viability and also the future of the bitcoin have still to become determined, leaving many buyers leery over the the protection of the virtual savings within the event which the system gets terminated or even obsolete. With that anxiety and instability surrounding the bitcoin, it's not likely it is going to generate the consumer base to match, less surpass, yellow as an investment advantage. Another main reason that the bitcoin is not likely to change gold as an investment advantage would be that the system has yet to attain complete status as a genuinely "universal" and genuine form of currency. Lots of nations, like Germany, Norway, Russia, France, Korea and Thailand, refuse to make use of the bitcoin for fear of possible damage. Actually, several went as much as making it unlawful in the country of theirs. In comparison, there is not a nation on the planet which would dismiss the importance of gold, less prohibit its use. Thus, until the bitcoin is able to achieve exactly the same global amount of authenticity & endorsement that orange has, it won't ever be in a position to change gold as an invaluable product. The last purpose that the bitcoin is not likely to surpass gold as an asset commodity is the fact that gold has regularly demonstrated symptoms of recovery since it plummeted by twenty eight % in 2013. Lots of people presumed that the unexpected fall in gold's market value was a sign that it'd lost its status as a secure investment choice. Nevertheless, a selection of signs, like the increased the increase and debt-to-GDP ratio in the cost of mining, claim that gold won't just overcome the fall of its, though it is going to continue to flourish as a preferred investment commodity. So, provided investors think that gold is able to create profits, they are going to continue to give up any other likely replacements.

Undoubtly gold has more stable and increasing income but the return is very low compared to the time.Like we can say that the prices slightly increase over a year and on the other side Bitcoin is a risky venture to invest but the growth is very fast and returns are high.But as we know high risk high profits.So you should counter your risk by investing in both say 60% in bitcoin and 40% in gold.But you must have patience as both are long time investments.

Even if the physical aspect of gold is very satisfying and numismatics is a very beautiful science that allows us to understand a little better the history of our country, I think that progress is forcing us to invest in Bitcoin, whose advantages over gold are undeniable... And then, apart from speculation, nobody invests in gold anymore today, the growth potential is ridiculous!

Personally I would choose Bitcoin, but it doesn't mean that gold is a bad idea. Both could be profitable. I need to say that cryptocurrencies are more risky and less safe than gold. Recently, I've seen great article about that, I'll leave it here: https://buycoinnow.com/blog/what-is-a-better-investment (https://buycoinnow.com/blog/what-is-a-better-investment)

so you are still saying that bitcoin is a bad option due to its high risk but its also high reward so its still reasonable at all from the views of other investors  .

 i will also choose bitcoin like you because i find it easy to get one or to get started with it but i am not experience to invest my self a gold ( gold bars ) because i feel that its not easy to find and buy one  . i find it risky also due to its physical form where you need to carry it around  .

If for now I have to choose bitcoin to invest because now the price of bitcoin is quite stable and if bitcoin is easier to sell, but I cannot answer your question for now because it is a difficult question for me to choose between bitcoin and gold because of bitcoin and second gold has limited inventory, so bitcoin and gold can be used as assets for long-term and short-term investments.

Well, I would prefer bitcoin because I can see clearly with my two eyes before I think it's 2 years ago that bitcoin price reaches $20k but rapidly drop down as well. So when in terms of investment the best choice is those highly volatile so that you can earn through the price movement.  If I'm an early investor in bitcoin a lot at that time maybe I am a millionaire right now so I would prefer bitcoin rather than gold.

It's quite hard to invest on gold knowing the fact that you need to secure it in a very secured location. Unlike in storing bitcoin, what you need is to secure your funds through your wallet address and private key. Another thing is when you are spending the money in emergency matter, bitcoin will be easily accessible, unlike the physical gold that might need more steps to be even withdraw.

Why not both? Hehehe..
Every month i always buy gold only to keep value of my money. I think hard if we make gold as investment, because absolutely no growing. Also with bitcoin, but i now buy only small amount of bitcoin. Because i don't think it will long term.
For investment i prefer build business.
Bitcoin or Gold? I prefer Gold to keep my money.

I halved my savings to invest in gold and bitcoin I chose to use both for long-term investment. because both have many advantages that I like but also have disadvantages. when i have money i will use it to buy bitcoin. because I am sure and optimistic that one day the price of bitcoin will soar again to reach $ 20,000 or even more. and the rest of my savings will be used to buy gold. because I'm afraid if one day the internet network is lost or there is a big disaster so I can't access my bitcoin. I can still count on my gold investment. the value of gold always goes up every year. so gold investment will always be profitable and have a small risk of loss.

Savings wise gold is practical but investment wise with handling risk properly, bitcoin is more better. The volatile situations can bring decent profits, you need to work with money management and focus in how you will take advantage from this venue of investment. Keep your money from how you believe
that will work from the type of investment attitude that you got.

I am an ardent supporter of diversification, but if you asked me to choose one thing, I would choose gold.It has a longer history, it is more universal, it is understandable to people.
Gold is one of the most liquid assets.  In the case of almost any crisis, I will most likely be able to sell my gold if necessary, which cannot be said with 100% certainty about bitcoin.

Investing in gold is practical where you can wait for its value to increase for such a long time, it is the idea for long term investment.
While investing in crypto, you can face a lot of risk depends on the flow of the market, you need to be wise when investing to avoid losing your investment, it is also for long term but your profit depends on how much you can handle the market.

In terms of the long term investment, I'll always choose bitcoin because it's more profitable compared to Gold. The people that investest in GOLD are getting 5% to 10% profits a year while the people that invested in bitcoin are getting way beyond that. Bitcoin is more profitable nowadays and gold is more like hedge or insurance these days.

Firstly both of them needs patience. Gold is a long-term investment thing. Actually, we can say that for Bitcoin too. Bitcoin is volatile but when it comes to a e.g. bull-run, you can get the reward of your patience. Anyway, I would choose Bitcoin first.

Invest with gold and bitcoin is bet investment kind, both bitcoin and hold have many advantage for investing where bitcoin can growing up higher with short time but gold look stable price without worry with gold investment lost your money, but with bitcoin we faced risk when bitcoin price dump and we have waiting for long time to get bitcoin price higher.

Gold and bitcoin good for investing if you want get much money soon you ca invest with bitcoin, but if you want hold for long term you can invest your money with gold, gold have consistent price how ever you long with ten year later bitcoin can raising up and never be down, but for bitcoin always have chance to higher and lower price depend how economic world respond with bitcoin.

Gold is not the best investment asset. Not as profitable as other assets. But Bitcoin is a good enough asset to invest. I think that 30% of the profit for each year can be obtained.

in terms of long-term investment in my opinion bitcoin is better than gold. because bitcoin has volatility if we want to be patient waiting for bulls we will get a big profit. I think gold is more suitable for use as a store of value or wealth. so I have both bitcoin and gold. I use bitcoin as an investment tool and when I get a profit, I will use it to buy gold. because I am afraid that if one day there is a big disaster that makes the electricity network and the internet broke we will not be able to access our bitcoin. I can still depend on gold.

Bitcoin is the virtual currency and gold is a ornament. I think Bitcoin is the best long term investment for amazing returns. Bitcoin is better than gold for long term investment.

In depends on the purpose of the investors, as a investor who is a risk taker; I prefer bitcoin in long term investment. I'm aware to the risks and the reason why I choose it because the potential reward is too high. Those investor who want safe and secure investment, then they should invest in gold than bitcoin. There money are safe but the rewards that they can get is only low.

its not an advice, just opinion. i have bitcoin and i have gold, i dont know who the better if talking about future, but they are have good potential. bitcoin is good for future too, we can evaluate from chart before. and gold is really pure and valuable investment, so it cant disappoint you

Between Bitcoin and gold, I would choose to invest in Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is simply profitable many times more than gold. Gold ranges from a few hundred thousand to several million while Bitcoin can reach several hundred million. If you buy gold and wait for a high price to sell it is not much but Bitcoin is different.
Bitcoin can see your life changing for a year, a month, maybe even a day. If you hold a lot of Bitcoin, when the price of Bitcoin peaks, you will become a billionaire. We all have the right to think about good things.

If you do plan for investment assets that will be determine in a fast pace movements, then bitcoin is much prefer as we seen in a short span of time bitcoin achieved value while with gold assets it's mostly experienced stagnant value will be depend from how you really wanted to pick your time frame with your investment money. Both can bring good results only time matters between your holding periods.

I'm go with bitcoin investment than gold investment. Gold are secure investment so I will only gain some percentage in their but the bitcoin investment is a high risk investment and the rewards is so big. Right now the market is still crashed and it is the best opportunities to accumulate many bitcoin as mich as we can. I do not say that it is now the right time to buy, I simply say that if we buy at the lowest dip or the lowest price of the bitcoin then we can earn big in the near future.

gold also good investment for future, indeed gold give the profit as fast such bitcoin but gold is also worth to investment more safely to investment but needed more time than bitcoin. but when you ask i choose gold or bitcoin, honestly i choose bitcoin because can bring more profit with short time than gold and very good to hold in long term

If I choose long-term investment, I will choose BTC to invest, This market is just beginning and the price of BTC can go up a lot compared to the present. I will take my risk in the future to invest in BTC and make a profit. If I choose to invest gold it is a very safe decision and it gives me very little profit because the price of gold cannot grow strongly.The more risky the decision to invest is, the more profit we will make if it is the right one

Depending on what our investment goals, if we are looking for investment safe answer to investing in gold. But if the goal
is to find profit the answer is bitcoin. As I invest to make a big profit, I prefer bitcoin over gold.Because the price of bitcoin
volatility, is make bitcoin more likely to result in faster and greater profits when compared gold.

I am depend on bitcoin because since then we can say that it was worth to invest here. I experience on how my money works to gain a profit from a lot of investment to get and to increase the value of my money. In Gold, it was only an asset and there has a lot of time before it would increase but the good about this was the sure profit that you've been.

At the moment, I prefer gold because it is growing steadily in price, but on the other hand, Bitcoin can quickly grow several times, but nothing prevents me from investing in both gold and Bitcoin

One has a known total supply, it is divisible, easily spendable and already proven to have real use cases. The other one is just (a beautiful) ornament which most of people go crazy for.
I assume you know my answer  ::)

Bitcoin is a great investment vehicle, while gold is an highly liquid asset that can be considered as tangible asset. There are many considerations that you need to identify first before you choose between the two. If you want safety of your investment then go with gold but if you want a high risk investment that you can gain big amount of money then go with bitcoin.

Maybe I will choose bitcoin for investment because the movement is very fast, so I can take advantage of the moment to buy when the price of bitcoin is down and then sell it if the price has gone up. Looks like it's really easy right?
Maybe for gold, I can only use it not for investment. Yeah I will buy gold, but it is a necklace or a ring to wear.

In terms of liquidity, bitcoin is more useful to invest in. You don't need buyers to convert it to cash. In the future definitely it can be use as direct payment to our utility bills and other cash transactions. Gold is also good but most likely if you will exchange it for lower price. I prefer to have both gold and bitcoin to have options in the future. They are both good long term investments.

Pretty good question. The price of gold at this time is quite high, but gold will not lose value like bitcoin. If it was me, I would still choose to invest in bitcoin to make a profit. If gold for long-term investment should not be

I don't think it would be a great idea to think about gold losing its value, because for me, there's no way people would sell gold for cheap market price, it isn't like bitcoin that the market price solely depends on the demands that it has. My idea is like this, since they are both valuable, an investment could be backed by investment as well, so why not use Gold to back bitcoin up in the market? With this, the value of bitcoin will be even higher considering that a great asset is supporting it.

I agree with you. In my opinion, gold is a great asset to preserve value. Bitcoin is an asset for active trading, long-term investment allows you to get a cool profit from this asset.

Btw why no one consider real estate as a long term investment? At least it's your place on earth and you know real estates have huge value, you can rent it and get additional income monthly. I know situation in countries like USA and European ones where it's very, very hard to buy apartments + you have to pay taxes for owning them but in some countries where people are almost free from it, I would consider real estate better investment options than bitcoin and gold if we want stable monthly profit of course.
It's easy to speak from today's situation about bitcoin cause if anyone bought btc in 2019 and sold when price was 20K, he/she would profit insanely huge money and would easily become billionaire without almost any effort but it's almost impossible to catch best moments, that's a problem. Some people bought bitcoin in 2009 while others bought when price was 20K, you see a difference.

in the use of bitcoin or gold both have profit potential, gold is better for the long term and I already believe this while bitcoin in investments can be used for the long term and also the short term, depending on conditions and also its potential

But whether it's really as easy as you said or not, I'm sure this is not because if taking advantage of bitcoin's dump and pump could be easy, many people would not have lost and felt bitcoin betrayed their lives right now, fast motion always has its drawbacks, so when we talk about long-term investment, I only half agree when talking about bitcoin while gold is a total agreement. Investment on the subjective point of view will have such an opinion but except from the nature of the investment, whether investment can become good or not, it should be based on the investor.

I think Gold was a good investment for the long term since the gold was a rare metal surely it could increase its market value over time because of the supply and demand for gold.
Bitcoin was also a good investment since it was since the market price was so volatile but still risky since there are so many delays in the market and the market price was also going down.

I would invest half of the available funds in bitcoin and half in gold.

Never invest 100% of your assets in any field. That is my investment principle, and so I will choose to invest both in the long term. In more detail, I will invest 60% in the cryptocurrency market and the remaining 40% I will invest in gold. This investment method will reduce my risk and help me be safe in the future if one of them collapses.

in my humble opinion, using bitcoin is more profitable and the main reason for this is the exhaustible reserves of gold.

If I myself choose both because gold and Bitcoin can complement each other's portfolio of investors to get more profit.

Indeed gold has better investment properties in some cases than Bitcoin. Because gold has a real physique while bitcoins are not all countries have real physical.

in my opinion, I prefer bitcoin. can be used as a long-term investment. but if I am given gold, I will not refuse .. !!

We know that Gold is the oldest form of Investment tool, It's been using for this purpose from the very early modern age, Not only that but also Gold is the most popular tool for various purpose, But when you say about the long term investment with a potentiality for a handsome profit then Gold should be substitute by Bitcoin because It's more potential for this aspect, I think Bitcoin is the latest addition for the investment purpose and Bitcoin could be the best option for the long term investment. I believe Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency will dominate in the coming future. so I choose Bitcoin rather than Gold.

I could as well accumulate bitcoin, the problem with gold is that, it is not easily accessible, you need to take into consideration that you need to meet someone and buy gold but you cannot stay anonymous. In fact, investing in bitcoin is quite easier, no matter how old you are, how rich or poor you are, bitcoin is open for everyone so basically in terms of investment, bitcoin is one of the best, gold as well but for me, engaging to investment in gold needs you to become rich first especially if you want to use gold for jewelries.

actually both can be used in investment but their uses are quite different, gold can be used more for long-term investment while bitcoin can also be used for long-term investment but with stronger research than gold investment

I would choose both, investing in Bitcoin is risky but with high profits, and gold is a relatively stable asset value and less risk when it is available. Nobody that chooses one thing but skips the other ca3to61t should choose both.

i think bitcoin is more profitable and more valueable coin in market.so,i think bitcoin is better than gold.what's why i'm now hold my BTC for future profits.

both do have the potential and of course vary, the most important thing is we can use gold or bitcoin to look for profit. maybe the difference is only the level of profit and also the risk, but for me both can provide benefits if we are able to understand the investment

Being practical, you'll choose gold then if you're good in technical analysis and wanted a deeper investment, go for bitcoin. I'm always seeing a comparison between these two and I agree that these things are just the same, both have risk and profit.

But the requirements needed in bitcoin were high and should invest more time to learn it 'cause impossible to have a profit if you don't have learnings on it unless you have a mentor.

For me both of this investment is great especially for a long term investment as the technology rises surely bitcoin will get a lot of users as it is implemented in all over the world surely the market price will increase in the coming years. Also, gold is a rare metal and has a very high demand and the supply is a few surely as the supply goes down in the coming years the market price will also increase i think these two are both great in long term investments.

Judging from now, I would prefer to invest my money in Bitcoin and not gold. Gold is good, but when it comes to which one is going to be more profitable then it's Bitcoin. You should compare their prices and the increase within ten years, Bitcoin emerges on top. Even for this year, anyone that bought at the rate of $3000 would have made a lot of profit as well.

The only thing with Bitcoin is that it is volatile and carries a lot of risk, whereas gold is stable. When I'm investing my money in any asset I always consider the one that will get me more profit, and that's not gold, but that doesn't mean I don't like gold, it's still a good choice as well.

Bitcoin is huge valuable than Gold and those are belong in the different platform and different significant. Undoubtedly i choose Bitcoin to long term investment. Because gold price is not big changes and it's looks like stable but Bitcoin is increase and decrease in every moment.

faster movement in bitcoin than gold has high risk too. for this moment take advantage of bitcoin so difficult can not fast because bitcoin price falling down, honestly for this moment i prefer to choose gold  for investment in long term because more safety while wait bitcoin price grow well. after bitcoin give alerts to the moon i will buy and saving for investment

bitcoin because the price of the bitcoin is changing faster it may increase at any time and it may cost high price that's why bitcoin is the best choice in long term

Investing in long term is a big thing to consider, there are many factors we need to understand in investing in gold. But the bet to understand first is how do both of this works in long term? Both bitcoin and gold has a long term promising investment returns, for bitcoin, because of regular halving, increasing market price is already expected and in gold, its scarcity is the best factor to consider. What matters the most for us to think about is which on this two investment platform will return more in the future, and which platform will have more adopters and for me, that platform will be more profitable than one another and that is bitcoin.

No matter that gold has always been the good choice for investment and it will always keep the value with rather low risk I would choose Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is investment of the future, digital era and no matter the higher risk returns and profit on long term could be better than with gold. Also I like better digital assets so Bitcoin is definetely my choice.

My opinion on this is fixed. If you are going to invest with a large capital, you can buy both gold and Bitcoin. In this case, you will be smarter. Portfolio management is very important. Reducing risk means reducing the likelihood of earnings. In this case, everything needs to be evaluated well.

That is a strong thinking if you feel that bitcoin will replace gold.Gold return 2 year 5% to 10% But bitcoin is return is double

I think buying gold is a very logical investment. But getting the bitcoin opens the door on a different adventure. Bitcoin can be 100k dollars after 2 days. It's a risk. There is no such risk in gold investment. But there is no such gain.

yeah i'm also think that and that's why now i'm now buy some bitcoin for future.i hope in future bitcoin price will more up.

Taking Bitcoin now makes more sense. There's only one difference. Here's the situation. I get bitcoin with the money I increased from my budget. So if the price falls too much it will not affect me. In this case, the instability of the bitcoin price does not affect us. or less effects.

If I will choose for only one of them, I will go for Gold since this can be liquidated easily anytime and anywhere when needed. Gold also shows that price has been consistently increasing, unlike Bitcoin, there are times that the price drops and when you need to convert to fiat, you need to look for a local exchanger and for an ordinary guy with no access to internet and electricity, this liquidating Bitcoin will be hard.

Right now I will prefer in bitcoin investment rather than gold even if gold has existed for how many centuries already because I am more familiar with crypto currencies investment and I have a little knowledge about gold investment.

In bitcoin, I prefer a long term one as I consider it as my little savings and I will love to sell it once I badly need it or the market tells me to sell it like what happened in 2017. I am confident with bitcoin investment compare to gold so my one and only choice right now is bitcoin investment.
