Holdings of gold vs Holdings of btc

[nara1892]

Does anyone have any idea how many people are using gold as a store of value vs btc?  And how long do you think until we have the same user Base as holders of gold?

here in my country, there a lots of people who do not know about bitcoin because no many people who promote it. besides, bitcoin is not very legal here. so I think there are a lots of people who are holding gold than those who are holding bitcoin.

for though bitcoin users or people who already know about bitcoin I'm sure some of them must have been or are being detained and investing in gold. bitcoin profitable but someone also will require a secure investment as well. ie with gold

always mark up on your mind that bitcoin could not beat gold because since our native family time line gold is the most precious they can have because it has a large value.. if you compare bitcoin to gold.. gold has a appearance which you can see a beautiful shiny gold while bitcoin  is just a crypto currency and still not that popular and we still have a few users..

That would be wrong idea for bitcoin, although gold is popular but its not gaining more demand rather than bitcoin. My reason is there is more alternatives that can substitute its fashion demand like silver and bronze which declines the gold demand. Unlike bitcoin a cryptocurrency is now boosting its popularity specially to those who trades altcoins and are also in demand with a lots of sports betting sites. Bitcoin holdings is much better than gold nowadays because bitcoin price aims higher from time to time and brings good profit to sellers online.

Millions maybe billions use gold if you reference those reliant on it indirectly via central bank deposits which are then circulating notes of promise though obviously its the case now that no note allowing exchange or demand for any real asset including gold is given.
Gold is a very large market though, you can be sure its far bigger then bitcoin still.  I would include places like India where its kept as jewellery but also used in extreme situations to pay into asset ownership or transfer wealth between families instead of the more debt based system the west relies on for 'wealth'

Gold as a store of value depends on what happens with the large sovereign debt issuance, do they default and keep their gold or allow inflation to wipe value from notes and somehow retain the gold.  Both are options and in theory there is no recourse by debt holders but I think creditor countries can and will take action and gold at this point may be used for payment of debt or of goods as trade balance becomes an issue (bad debt = no money and no trade possibly)

If you include this scenario then everyone on the planet is using gold as a store of value.  When your country needs a resource, food or oil then you will be using gold to facilitate those purchases and enable a bad debt record to be cleared.   IF your country is a net exporter, maybe argue differently but I still think gold is alot easier to transport and would be used and even these countries populations are today using gold for future value

Actually holding both gold and bitcoin are good. If you want more safety i advice you to hold the gold, but if you want more profit, you can try hold bitcoin, because the future of bitcoin seems really good. You can see the price of bitcoin is really high right now.

If you compare the Bitcoin and Gold price graphs you'll easily be able to decipher between the two options. In nearly all cases it becomes essential to buy at the right time.

It's assumed gains from either would boost performance in your portfolio, while on the other hand change the way you'd live as per the economy + upkeep requirements... Despite being rare there are very few people that'd put large proportions of money into precious metals.

Since you're into BTC it's better to buy into the hype since this type of investment is harder to dig, but yields greater results.

In nearly all cases it becomes essential to buy at the right time.

The correct frame to put gold price differences in is that the dollar value is varying.   Not the right time to buy but the right time to be selling your dollars or the correct time to exchange Yen for gold.
Gold itself is perfectly inert and we know its not used up or even used much in industry, nothing changes.   Also the supply of gold is quite low and certainly steady over time.   Variation is not about gold its about FIAT money which is all theoretical and very subject to political upset and shock.  Such as the wrong candidate taking over the biggest seat at the table of many meetings for the next four years!

Holding bitcoins is the best for me since i don't tried investing or holding gold. Bitcoin is more volatile than gold and that is the best for me because we can take advantage from that kind of characteristic if you are into trading because fast changing prices can be use to generate profit. Also, In holding bitcoin is very profitable in a short few years unlike gold that it will take a lot to give you profit.

Many people owns golds. Gold used for many centuries as their currency. But bitcoin is beats gold. Imagine, there are only few people who is actually owns bitcoin. What more if the all peole use  bitcoin? But gold is good to hold for a very long time since its value is stable. Bitcoin is good for short term investment.

It is much easier to use bitcoin. I used bitcoin to buy things, but never used gold.

You are right we can buy many things with bitcoins not with gold but we can keep gold for long term in purpose of good profit currently both giving good profit but for short term I like to hold bitcoin and for long purpose now both can work but still gold is much better option

One thing some of you don't seem to get is that an investment is usally on the long term: very few will get rich very soon with short term investments, which are by definition mere speculation.

Hold onto your gold and BTC.

I would like to quote myself because I totally got the right timing last April. This is not a game anymore and nobody is gonna be rich quick.
Bitcoin is difficult to understand and sometimes hard to manage and handle but if you know it you won't regret having studying it!

I will never regret what I have learned about Bitcoin. It is totally awesome and I has gain much successful from it. My first aim when joining the Bitcoin world was to become rich in the near future. But now, I realize Bitcoin contains more than just only rich. That's why I convert nearly 80% of my salary in Bitcoin and use it as both currency and type of investment

The gold market worth $22 trillion a year is now dead because RobertDeNiro says so

That's correct. Gold cant be used for shit. It's got no real value besides to people who want to wear it and the newer generations are not like the old ones who just listened to what ever mom and dad and grandma and grandpa say.
In 50 years or less gold will be worthless and you can bet on it. Because Robert Deniro says so.

Gold is an element that cannot be copied.

Bitcoin is just lines of open sourced code that anyone can replicate or improve.

Gold is currently being hoarded by the tonne by Russia and China while Bitcoin is ignored.  No major hedge funds, financial institution or government has bought into bitcoin.  Some are interested in blockchain technology but not bitcoin.

Nonsense! That can be replaced with other materials if need be. I hate gold bugs because all of you really think gold has some useful purpose but the only purpose gold has is... Drum roll please...

NOTHING!

No purpose. Everything you use gold for you can use something else.
