Gold is very stable investment compared to bitcoins and gold can be liquidated in any country very easily so I many people prefer to hold on to gold. But bitcoins are not so popular in all countries, and we can't liquidate it easily in all countries when we need to money. I also hold more gold than bitcoins as of now because bitcoin prices are very volatile so I put only some money in bitcoins.

Reason for this is obvious as gold have large marketcap or market, so price of gold is almost stable. It is also considered as precious metals and you can actually touch real gold bar so even a small uneducated person may think easier to buy gold and hope for price rise or atleast get back cash when needed and use those golds as jewelleries till they need some cash. But techy guy, professional businessman have already started grabbing bitcoin rather than gold right now.

Major investment will be made in gold to take benefits in long run, as I am sure that gold will never disappoint me in future and to make small profits in quick time will  invest some in bitcoins.

Honestly if I wanted to  use a certain item for currency to store my wealth, I would choose gold since it's stabler in price.

If I were to try to invest for profit though, definitely bitcoins.

i personally always prefer bitcoin over anything as there is much more upwards potential than gold for the coming years. why the big boys (non bitcoiners) prefer gold? the somewhat "stable" aspect of it makes it a great store of value tool, plus the gold market has much more liquidity compared to bitcoin. large players like to get in by big numbers, but they also want to get out by big numbers. that's one of the reasons for these people to prefer gold compared to bitcoin. bitcoin market is way too thin and has barely any buy support to catch up massive dumps.

Gold has a stable price which is you can sell gold instantly there are store that buying golds you can easily go there and sell it gold has also stable price but i personaly use bitcoin for some purposes like investment tradeing and gambling bitcoin can make more than gold.

BTC Bitcoin and Gold

I obviously prefer bitcoin over gold but also I am investing in both of them (more in bitcoin) because both are good investments with a good future returns. and diversification is always a good idea in all investments. so what is better than gold as your alternative investment.

they are also investing in and keeping bitcoin.
but in general people are investing in gold because it has been around for much longer time and it is not going anywhere.
also it is familiar even kids know what gold is and see it, touch it unlike bitcoin which has been around for a short while and it is not something you see everyday.

Agreed, I'm on the lookout for "cash for bitcoin" signs since not many places allow you to convert BTC to local currency as quick.

these subjects always being debated, there are some thread abtout bitcoin vs gold in this forum like this one,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=508270.0
but what can i say? i prefer to choose both since holding some limited things is a good choice,
it's clearly why do rich people prefer to storing their asets on gold due to gold's price is stable than bitcoin's price

why not both? avoid risks. and there's nothing more risky than put all your money in one investment.

Lol... this has been discussed many times here in the past...

Gold is one of the safest investment assets, while Bitcoin is similar to a HYIP. Obviously, most of the billionaires are looking to conserve their wealth, rather than looking to increase it. For such purpose, gold is ideal.

That doesn't mean that rich people are not interested in Bitcoins. I can give a few examples, such as the Winklevoss twins, Reid Hoffman, Sir Richard Branson and Li Ka-shing.
