Definitely you should. The less btc you own the more secure your investments are. An exchange gets hacked out of nowhere and bitcoin meets the floor in instant. If you are selling your btc's without any loss, then it is a wise move to buy gold. Gold prices are the same with back in 2012 right now, which looks like a good deal to me.

If you hold the bitcoins in your own wallet, there is no risk of being hacked like what happened to the exchanges.

Yeah its always better to save bitcoins in your offline wallet as they are very safe and its not easy for anyone to hack or steal your coins from your wallet.

although creating an offline storage can be a little bit hard and time consuming especially if you want to do it on a linux (like what i did) and have little linix knowledge. but it is worth the time because it will save your funds in the end.

it is definitely the best idea, i would just buy all of the bitcoins possible and then just hold it all in my offline wallet what would allow me to make big profit

Right now gold seems to be on a tear, so what OP has proposed probably isn't a bad idea.  If he'd gone 50/50 he would have made money on both sides, because bitcoin and gold are higher.  Hindsight is great, isn't it?   Lol

If the original Backside walkaround can prove to me they are the old owner of this account, I can update the email address to the email address of their choosing.
Backside walkaround has lost access to their account as they used someone else's email address to sign up, and the owner of the email address got tired of random email notifications from this site after a few months and reset the password.

yes it was a good choice, and not have to put a lot of money on bitcoin. but if just holding me think it's very safe and good enough to put a lot of money, except for investments.

Holding bitcoin for future is the safest way to make profits from it as holding doesn't involves any risks and you can sell it whenever you see  higher price in future.

Gold and bitcoin prices seem to be closely correlated, except btc moves way faster. I'm going with a setup with gold/stocks/btc to hedge my worth regardless of market movements.

I think it is a good idea to hold the bitcoin and gold 50/50. But the bitcoin price will rise faster, but it is riskier.

If you compare the profits from bitcoin and gold then I am sure bitcoin will give higher profits in compare to gold, and bitcoin will also take care in short term to make quick profits.

The bitcoin is much riskier than the gold, but it has more potential. For me, I can take the risk and invest more in bitcoin.

Buy low, sell high. Rule of thumb for every kind of trading that exists. Bitcoin might be risky, but a lot of the woes can be avoided and alleviated. As long as you manage your money and watch the market, the risk can be turned into value.

Its a decent investment strategy, but if I was young and I had no debt I would forget about gold and go all in on bitcoin, if you want to make it big you will not do that with gold.

That is right. If you are you and can take the risk, the bitcoin is a better choice. It will rise faster in the long term.

Yup and bitcoin will also allow you to make higher profits in compare to gold as everyone is hoping that price will even touch to $10k in future so if you have descent amount of coins saved then you can get best returns.

Bitcoin’s got an enormous upside. It seems to be moving just smoothly  than gold. So it is good to collect as many bitcoin so that you can make good profits in future.

Bitcoin is getting more popular day by day, and people who are using bitcoin at a moment will continue to invest their money into as future price will allow them to make some really good profits from it.

I agree with that. There are more bitcoin infrastructure development and more people are using the bitcoin.

The only people that are making money from gold are the guys like Peter Shilft or whatever is called, that hoard and pump it for years and have big business in selling gold to people.

We cannot say bitcoin is too popular at a moment but definitely its growing and getting popular with a higher pace and once people will be aware about it they will prefer to invest in bitcoin.

everyone has a different opinion, but I think it is a very good thing to do, especially if you like the investment in the short and long term. Well, bitcoin can realize investment in the short term you want, and gold can realize an investment in a long time, and I think it will really bring benefits in the future
