[Moneyburner]

That's your choice I think. I do not choose someone because it looks like my debts.
You should do what you want and where you feel comfortable with.

So the correlation can very well be explained by assuming that bitcoin is rising the most at exact those times when gold needs to be supressed the most for persaving more widespread panic.

I'm fully aware that this conclusion requires two strong assumptions and I could very well be wrong, but don't let yourself be fooled into believing that two graphs that show a similar pattern are proving a direct relation of the underlying effects.

Yes of course, and in previous years I had a definite impression of a strong positive correlation instead.
I found that chart interesting just for trading / asset allocation ideas (not certainties). Imho at this right moment gold seems to me a safer bet than btc (for who is interested to keep something on the safe side).

Interesting idea yours. But then the panic-fueled btc rocket now should be flying high (?)

[HarryKPeters]

Diversifying your investment is never a bad thing. So yeah both gold and bitcoin are good way to do that.
Mostly because they both are solid investments.

Buying Brent Oil is also very good right now.

[Newcoins2020]

That is clever indeed. But gold have I always think.
Bitcoin can be hacked because you and that's the disadvantage of making money online.

But it is worth a lot so that's an advantage. But the chances of both is that the price may fall. which is the risk.

[praprata]

You can do that indeed. But gold remains gold. Bitcoin is very risky because because it can often be very much change.
But this risk you should take. Because you never know what can happen.

Every investment has a certain risk, especially if you are a short term minded trader.

Bitcoin vs Gold from the last 30 days; This period was bad for your Bitcoin investment, but decent for Gold.

Bitcoin ~ -13.90%
Gold ~ +5.10%

Bitcoin vs Gold from the last 6 months; This period was fantastic for your Bitcoin investment, but very disappointing for you Gold investment.

Bitcoin ~ +40.65%
Gold ~ +3.10%

I think you need to invest all your money in bitcoins.
The future of the bitcoin is better and more profitable.
In my opinion bitcoin is also the future of the money.

no you can diversify but not with gold, but with other strong altcoin

i would do 50% bitcoin, 10% for eth, 10% for dash, 10% for doge(but only when you see a very low value <50 satoshi) and 10% for litecoin(but not right now, only in the eyar of the halving)

then you add another 10% on factom, seems promising

[WhatTheGox]

at the moment i have 30 btc now i could sell in the highs and buy gold leaving me with 15 btc.

im starting to think btc wont survive long due being entirely digital the thing could be abandoned or worse internet might go down what you guys think i would look pretty stupid buying something you cant see or hold im torn to shreds right now.

ive listened to max keiser and proffs that bitcoin could be worth tens of thousends i think its the most sensible thing to do "dont put eggs in one basket" on all...

it draws a fine line... i.e. all that electricity to "mine" bitcoins pushing hardware to the max and with exchanges like crypsty and cexio mucking me around i just dont see the future help me realise this what should i do?

If you are young i would just keep it all in bitcoin, gold isn't go to go sky high anytime soon, maybe gold might hold its value.  You get one chance though and 30 bitcoin could change your life. Hold for the longest time.

[Oscoda]

I would go 50/50 because the worth of gold can drop.
Bitcoin is newer it's only rising in value but is can be hacked

If you want an honest opinion I'd advise you to just follow your head. It's probably not advisable to go 100% bitcoin. I'm not sure if I'd recommend gold though.

Maybe just be boring & safe & invest in the highest interest bank savings bond that you can on a 4 or 5 year fixed rate. Locking fiat up for a while whilst not great is safe.

Another option could be real estate, put a deposit on a small apartment & rent it out. It's unlikely to lose money in bricks & mortar in the current climate.

Personally I'd keep about 20 bitcoin's in cold storage though, you'd be devastated if we ever went to 10,000 USD per coin or something.

this is exactly what i mean when i say that bitcoin has much more room for potential growth. the short term is not an indication of something. the long term is what we need to look at. on the other hand, gold didn't give much return in the last 6 months, but over that period the price/profit remained nicely stable. good for people who use gold as a store of wealth.

[HostSurf]

I would go for Gold that's an option you can be more sure of.
The only thing is the rates are dropping of gold so at this moment bitcoin is the better option.

[maokoto]

Gold has proved (I think) to be quite safe, and something many people do not realize is that gold has value in itself (ductile metal, needed for some applications etc). However you have to balance the expectation of profit. It is not much with gold, but very high with BTC. Perhaps not 50/50, but a lower percentage on gold.

[BellaBitBit]

It is always good to stay diversified - metals are always a safe bet as storage and specifically in times of uncertainty and have been used for centuries.  Nice job on having 30BTC, I only wish 

[yefi]

Gold's currently tapping the top of the channel. We should be due a breakout now judging by historical patterns (not to mention global production is finally set to decrease this year). Even if 2011 proves to be the peak of the bubble, I would expect to see prices reach the 1400 range.  

Of course, an asset with a marketcap in the trillions is never going to experience any great deal of growth. Bitcoin has orders more magnitude of potential.

[Maticul]

I will have 40:60, gold:bitcoin. But over the time, the bitcoin will crease in value much faster than gold, the ratio will change to 10:90.

[Zaun]

You are right but when you are thinking about it long term its good to do it 50/50 because than you can make profit on both, and if you fail you can still make money with the other investment you have.
I think that is the best way to gain profit and get rich by investing in multiple things.

[BitcoinHodler]

i was planning on the same thing, i wanted to invest some of my money in gold so i have a more reliable investment and have some profit but after looking at bitcoin and how the price is rising i decided against it cause i think the rise is so close now.
