should i go 50/50 with gold and bitcoin?

[CryptoBjorn]

Its good to invest in the bitcoin and gold these days because they both will increase in the future, I'm pretty sure about that its just a matter of time.
If you invest in the gold you can do it for a long term and for the bitcoin for a short time so you can have two different investment ways that is pretty sweet right ?

[Nimbulan]

Well you can, but i would go 70/30, since gold is pretty stable so i don't think that you will win something, while with bitcoin, risky but you can win alot

[talkbitcoin]

gold is a sure thing for investment and you will know that you can't lose so much if you invest in it.

but bitcoin has more risk that makes it more profitable, especially this year that there is a halving on the way.

so you might wanna change 50/50 to 80/20 on bitcoin.

Yeah, and its always good to diversify your investments as we don't know from which product we can get profit or loss, so its better that we invest in both of them.

[takingthis4]

Yes, because if one goes down atleasy other will bring you money, and if both will go up, then you will win alot

[bitcoin-hunter]

Yes, because if one goes down atleasy other will bring you money, and if both will go up, then you will win alot

You are right and I think its pretty smart if you ask me because you can than gain a lot of profit at the end with them both.
You can do them both long term or one short term (btc) and one long term(gold), I think that would be much better to do in my opinion.

I will say 20% gold and 80% bitcoin. Gold is just a hedge against inflation, it will not rise in value in real terms.

It depends, Gold is being seen as safe haven by some people. Especially now people only receive around 0.5-0.7% interest on their savings accounts.  People are looking for ways to spread their money. Gold is very popular in that aspect.

yeah but it's not going to have the potential for skyrocketing like bitcoin can have in the future, at best it can reach again its prime($2k)

the marketcap of gold is already so big that i don't see any real improvement for the long term

I would say that the "real improvement" term is actually suitable for Gold and definitely not to any crypto currency.The fake pumps might be profitable to the people and might also be good for the coin but is obviously pre-planned.

Even if bitcoin doubles or triples its price, there could be some whales who can destroy any time they want which isn't possible for Gold.Stability is way too important than pumps.If its savings then i would invest more towards stable stuff.

indeed, no matter how high the bitcoin price is, whales/early adopters can change that within a few minutes. the higher the price is, the weaker the support gets. for example: right now if you support the price with a $1,000,000 buy order, which translates into around 2380btc, it will be a decent, but not very strong support. if the price is $2000, then the $1,000,000 buy order translates into 500btc, which can be sold through in a second. whales that keep holding their coins will end up getting even more control over the price than they have now.

i would say differently as bitcoin price is fluctuating a lot these days and no one knows if you will not have a huge loss because of that

if i were in your shoes i would most probably go 80 per cent gold and 20 on bitcoin because the walls of buy price are really small right now

[nejibens]

It's expected that both Gold and Bitcoin will going highest prices soon, so i think it's profitable nowadays to invest with gold and BTC

[sishendaoye]

Yes this is true, so its good to invest them both, also the fact you can use them as a sort of backup if one fails.
I think they will both succeed with profit on a long term.

[rekinthis]

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?

well bitcoin will live for long i think, no idea why should it die in 10 next years, will rise probably only

and with gold/BTC, gold is stable while bitcoin is not, so going 50/50 on gold and bitcoin might be great idea, it's pretty safe so you won't lose a lot of money if something bad will happen

I really do not like gold it has maintained a strong image for a well but I think it will fade,I know Canada has totally dropped its gold reserve.
This seems to be a trend as we move forward,nothing wrong with owning a bit but total investment seems crazy.

Would put a bit in oil and I know that sounds like it goes against what I stated with gold but I see a rebound coming. It may dip again but say 1-2 years it should be back to $80 CAD per barrel. Currently 38 I believe after being down to 26.

Not even going to lie, selling off all the gold was the single most retarded thing that I've seen yet. If I remember it was a move to finance the campaign promises, and they still have to dip into another deficit instead of just backing off and having people wait.

I for sure would invest in oil, skip gold, and invest in Bitcoin when it hits a low point. There seems to be a bit of sliding with the market right now, though, so it might not be worth investing at this very moment.

[fravia]

If you prefer to have the price stability of gold it would be good to invest 50% in gold.
If you can take the risks of holding bitcoins you can profit big time in the long run.

yeah, i think i would take the risks as i believe in bitcoin and i hope that the price one day will sky rocket and every holder will become rich in small period of time

thats why im not spending any of my coins and i save it up in my cold storage, though it would be a huge loss for me if there will not be a price increase

Well it is always wise to diversify your investment. With bitcoin you can potentially earn a lot but potentially lose a lot too.
I for one spread it like this 1/3 savings, 1/3 bitcoin 1/3 stocks.

I think holding bitcoins nowadays would be a profitable idea, especially it's expected that the Bitcoin's price will increase soon after halving.
