The choice of whether to invest in bitcoin or gold is a choice after deep research on what is profitable in your time, and market.
Do you have a sure market where you can trade your gold or bitcoin if you get one? In your current environment is gold or Bitcoin feasible and viable? Back in the days of emperors gold was commonly used for trade but in our digitalized world today bitcoin is more in voke.
You'll also consider how easily accessible your gold or bitcoin can be converted to cash if you need it urgently unless you've q made up your mind that your investment is going to be a real long term one. I would prefer to invest in a product that is invoke, that is familiar in the market so if there's an issue I can get support because there are other people investing in it too than go far off.
I am pretty sure that you were wanting to say "in vogue" rather than "invoke," yet I think that is a very superficial way of trying to view and understand what is going on.
Sure bitcoin is popular right now as compared to bitcoin, yet you still should be considering which is a superior asset (and/or form of money)
Just look at various aspects of money such as scarcity, verifiability, divisibility, fungibility, transportability, costs of storage/securing. Bitcoin is better than gold in all of the categories... and surely some of the downsides of bitcoin might be risks in regards to its infrastructure holding up which is dependent on various kinds of communication channels.
Also we can look at bitcoin in terms of adoption, which surely becomes somewhat unfair to compare bitcoin to gold since bitcoin is in relatively early stages of adoption and building of various network effects that were
outlined by Trace Mayer in 2015. The point is that relative to gold there should hardly be any kind of expectation in regards to price performance that gold is going to be able to keep up with bitcoin's price appreciation including that bitcoin is ongoingly taking market share from gold since it is superior to gold, too.. and it is being adopted and market share for storage of value ends up moving (and probably has to move) from gold to bitcoin... another way of describing the principles of Gresham's law, too.
