Holdings of gold vs Holdings of btc

[Brunusmagnus]

There is a big difference between investment and safety, and gold is still the top when we talk about safety.

If a nuclear war will explode,  gold will keep his value, bitcoin or crypto not.

[Andre#]

For me holding of gold is a long term and never be end or fade. Bitcoin maybe similar to temporary. Im not sure the future of bitcoin because this is only a currency that convertible into cash. Bitcoin compared to gold, Im favorable to bitcoin on how we can earn fastiest comparing to gold. We pray that this currency will continue because many people benifited and bitcoin helps also to the people belong to poverty level. Their's many life change because of bitcoin. Improving life in terms of financial needs.

I try both options I keep on hold old and also I keep bitcoin as well so I will prefer bitcoin instead of old because bitcoin is much more better then gold never keep gold on hold its useless and will need rive you profit even if you keep gold for one hour you will lose in gold and bitcoin is different than gold so much as you will keep it on hold that much big will be the profit so I will request to everyone that gold is only a valuable piece of Mattel.

Gold and Bitcoin are good for investment, this is my opinion.
Although the volatility of Gold in this year is quiet, but I hope Gold can raise its volatility in 2018 to attract more investors from cryptocurrency.
Beside that, cryptocurrency - Bitcoin - is really the best opportunity to become the rich easiest in this year.

[Andrej Peiboski]

Gold is still the best store of value, but at present is not a good investment.
Btw, gold is good only if you have it physically with you: if you have bank certificates, ore something so, in the case of a crisis you have nothing.

[dzhan]

In my opinion, both are very profitables, because both of them are valuable and have the most promising potential. Gold is always trusted by people and it will never lose its value, and its price keep growing slowly. BTC however is increasing fastly and expected to become a lot more expensive in the future.

[Flowzer]

now that bitcoin is more profitable than holding gold. bitcoin prices exceed the gold price. because bitcoin prices are more volatile than gold. gold is more stable than bitcoin so it increases slightly compared with bitcoin.

[markk94]

well if the data that you asked about comparation amount for bitcoin holder and gold holder, i don't know. but, in my country there's still much percentage of people that tend to buy gold like necklace or ring than knowing about bitcoin itself. maybe in 5 or 10 more years that bitcoin will be in used by average people on earth 

[xbl1008]

well it depends on how and until when are you going to hold it right now holding bitcoin is better than holding gold just be alert in some changes in the crypto currency world because its very volatile you can take advantage or it can take advantage of you

[fullhdpixel]

I think holding of gold still has some advantage over Bitcoin.
It is important to note that Gold has demonstrated reliability. Civilizations have traded Gold since roughly 600 B.C. and it continues to be used by dealers and investors with great enthusiasm today. Gold is also sure to never lose its intrinsic value as a Precious Metal with numerous practical applications.while Bitcoin is crowdsourced, its value is dependent on community participation. Bitcoin benefited from an enthusiastic base of developers and investors. Its popularity has inreased tremendously in 2017 .

It all depends on the person himself like the way he thinks and plan the things. For me, holding of gold is of no use as this will not help me earn even 5% profit even after 10 years.

The market value of gold is very much stable in nature and there is no significant change in its market value since a long time. however, holding of bitcoin can really be very much helpful in having some handsome amount of profit after some period.

[spasmadness]

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?

Holding BTC all the way, GOLD is the old fashioned.
BTC is the new gold.

[Roofer111]

I think, that Bitcoin is more volatile compared to gold. And moreover it’s much easier to get cash for gold than cash for Bitcoin.

For me gold is still a winner. If Bitcoin can prove its value, however, gold may have a real competitor for the safe-haven asset of choice.

[Isaak Bitcoin]

Looking at the catastrophic drop of bitcoin, I understand that gold or dollars are better than the cryptocurrency. You can not invest all money in one thing, you need to diversify your investments.

[TheGreatPython]

In my opinion, obviously btc has a high value but it could not compare to gold. Gold has a stable and high value it couldn't change the fact that gold is part of our generation thats why for me I would like to hold gold.

They say btc is much better to hold, yes its true because btc has a double value than gold but we dont know if btc will be forever but bitcoin will be forever.

If we observe the market value of both the bitcoin as well as gold since last two or three years, the we’ll hardly observe any difference in the market value of gold but when it comes to bitcoin., then a huge difference in the market value can be seen. I am in very much favor of holding of bitcoin as compared to holding of anything else as holding of bitcoin can make you much wealthy.

[Mr.John19]

In my opinions, bitcoin will never compare to the gold because they have a lot of different gold have a physical value. Most of the people  invest in the bitcoin because they can get in easy and there more way to earn on that things. The price of the gold now drops $45 per kilo.

[ongels]

I preferred to btc because i already witnessed how bitcoins  change my life and my career. This method is very smart to invest because in just a very short moment, it fluctuates rapidly upward. This is very serious thing especially when you earn much profit from it:)

Yes this is right. Whenever we need money we can get it out and use while in the gold, there is a long process and you have to undergo that one so that you can have money with you and you can use it against any need. Gold is better too as it is stable and it gives you big amount as result but still bitcoins are fast and more profit generating source and this dominates over all aspects of gold.

'
 
there are a lot of disadvantages and advantages to both sides. gold is widely accepted in all country and its value never decreases while bitcoin values decreases in some time and increases at the other times. bitcoin however will provide a higher profit.

Gold has been a store of value since before the ancient Egyptian empire thousands of years ago.    So as far as users go, there isnt a more widespread currency however Dollar has established itself to a greater revenue usage thanks to political influence through the world as a superpower and previously a large exporter.

To say gold is old fashioned is like saying water is out of fashion or anything elemental, Im sure there are nicer drinks then water but essentially we all have a need for the base fulfilment that water gives.   We have many different currencies for a variety of uses and demands but essentially the base unending store of value lies with gold.

Even in the last few decades gold is still being exchanged as value and stored by central banks for a solid asset not prone to revaluation or threat like paper notes or bonds of debt can be.   For Bitcoin to replace something that has lasted millennia is going to take far more then the current price rise.

 I estimate Bitcoin will be for transactions, a very fast settlement form of cash.   It currently needs alot of work to even achieve that much.    I dont expect it to rival Gold in its userbase because crypto in general is just one of many ways to pay for items.

[imking]

Holding gold for me it very risky because we should store it in the safe place, a place that you are the only one knows about it. Holding Bitcoin for me leisurely because their lot of wallets that can we use to store the bitcoin and the security is very strictly. For me, I choose to hold bitcoin more than gold because bitcoin is a faster investment more than the gold.

[Ethinkin9]

A lot of people selling their gold to buy Bitcoin now, this is a really good idea, in a certain of way let's say, we are making this world better with Crypto currency!

[Aster]

Gold has long been there and before Bitcoin exist gold is a good place to invest money. Many people also use Gold as jewelry. But from both i just prefer to holding Bitcoin, Bitcoin now is not like before. We can easy make profit by trading Bitcoin because the price movement will likely continue to rise.

Every person has his own mind choice but according to my choice holding of bitcoin is so better than holding of gold and the reasons are
Working with bitcoin is easy as compare to gold
Working with bitcoin is secure than gold
Working with bitcoin can give you enough profit then gold.

Bitcoin is better than anything else and will give you high benefit for today and tomorrow a lot of people are in favor of bitcoin now. It is just because gold is not easy to hold for long time and will not give benefit as well, for me also bitcoin is better than gold because it is easy to invest and save high profit for you till now. Bitcoin has wallets and not able to get hack because of high security and safe investment.
