Gold and silver is precious metals that many people agree that those metals is have value, actually if gold price is rise then the price other goods like rice or wheat and such thing like that will rise too, I thnk the value of gold and silver is always the same. But cryptocurrency is different, the price is unpredictable, it could be very surprisingly rise in the future.

And bitcoin is seen as easier to deal in than gold. Easier to buy and easier to sell.
More volatility in bitcoin which is what traders like.

We all know that Gold and other precious metals shoukd be part of any portfolio.

I think Gold will rise as will bitcoin and they have that common usage of "store of value"

If you hold gold in something like bullionvault then there is no difference in buying and selling gold or silver Vs Bitcoin.  You can now even use Glint to link a mastercard to your allocated gold holdings and spend as little or much as you want in any shop.

Physical gold is not hard to deal in either.  Buy online and have it shipped next day or walk into a bullion dealer and buy and sell on the spot.

Cryptocurrency is alternative investment beside Gold and Silver. Gold and Silver already for centuries as stable investment. But i am agree that cryptocurrency will growing bigger in near future because many financial institutional already recognize crypto as investment instrument

Gold and Silver are useful commodities and people use them for technology because of people need it and because of they are expensive and the world population will increase 10 years later and people will need to use more Gold and Silver and it is mean Gold and Silver price will be hight together.

Use them for technology? They are commodities bro and basically used as a store of value, and of course there are so many applications you can use gold or silver for and for the fact that they are rare and most especially for gold, this is what makes them to be used over the years as a store of value in cases of looming economic crisis, so in a way, there is no doubt that they will experience some growth in the long run. I know we still have a long way to go for this space to be utilized in same way, but I believe over time we will get there but how something will big or to what extent they will be big, is something we will have to leave for time to decide.

Gold is a protective asset for any investor.At least some increase in the price of gold but there is always.Cryptocurrency is a very high-yield, but at the same time high-risk asset.Very volatile.For investors, cryptocurrency is like,, forbidden fruit,,-all investors are interested in cryptocurrency but not everyone risks investing in it.

Gold and silver have being one of the best investments in the history of the world, so you cannot go wrong if you invest in one or in both of them, however if you have problems holding cryptocurrencies for some months it is going to be difficult to hold gold and silver because as we know they are not as volatile as cryptocurrencies so if you want to get profits you need to wait for a longer period of time.

I wouldn't put too much money into silver/gold simply because I believe that crypto has a lot more potential in the long run, and that crypto is most likely going to replace the traditional roles played by precious metals within the market as a safe haven in the future.

However, I really can't say that you could go too bad with investing in them as a hedge against inflation - they are exactly that, and even though they will probably never outpace the growth of crypto, they will still hold up their value much better than fiats will in the long term.

But if you do invest, all I can say is only invest in physical metals. Buying ETFs or derivatives defeats the purpose of this "safe haven", imo.

It depends on each person's knowledge. For gold and silver, its price does not fluctuate so much and it only brings us a low profit every year. It is a safe investment and it only helps you to stabilize your finances. Investing in Crypto will definitely help you get rich if you have smart investment strategies.

besides that the level of trust in gold and silver is maintained, and everyone acknowledges it. therefore people dare to invest for the long term because it has been proven from the days of our ancestors

[EllieBasti05]

I think yes! Because the price of Gold and Silver will remain the same, increasing and decreasing upon supply and demand same with bitcoin.

But compare to bitcoin, gold and silver is the safe asset and good investment because you will not loose big amount. You will have a low profit but atleast your investment is saved.

[really01]

Gold and silver are two things that will rise in price over time, as demand grows. Unless people find a large amount of gold, silver. However, in my opinion, gold will increase more, because its versatility and decoration are always high. Và với mức giá hiện tại, nó khá đắt đỏ, nhưng giá trị của nó không cao bằng vàng, và giá trị của nó tăng chậm nhưng sẽ ổn định hơn.

[virtfund]

If an investor considers to invest in metals like gold and silver, I think, he never considers to invest large amount of his money in crypto market at these times. Because these investors are mostly looking for risk free investments even if its profit is not so high. Profile of an usual investor who is in crypto market is far away from these investors. Maybe, bitcoin can gain such a strong trust in the near future and this type of investors start to buy bitcoin. But we still need years to see this happens.

[gentlemand]

Neither are of the slightest interest to me. I don't care how 'safe' they are or their 'intrinsic value'. Gold's all time high was in 38 years ago when you take inflation into account, and you should as that's the alleged point. It's still over 50% down on then. I'll be dead before it gets back there, if ever.

My brain isn't wired to handle such glacial shit even if it's supposed to be good for me. If it works for others then great.

There are signs that its price is totally controlled. I only hope crypto doesn't wind up the same. Me hopes aren't too high.

Gold and silver will always have a special place in the commodity market given that demand is always present for these two. They have proven their value and worth in a variety of ways, and they are still the most sought after hedge asset whenever an economical crash occurs. For a couple of centuries now, gold and silver have been in the pedestal for the most reliable investment/asset there is since it's always accepted literally almost everywhere. While it's not always a good thing to buy gold and silver, in dire cases such as an economic crash, it's still better to stash up your gold rather than risk it on failing stocks and securities.

Yeah, gold and silver has always been a major store of value over the years and most especially gold, so one way or the other, like you said, there is always a great demand, but in all essence, even as much as I know that we cannot compare them to the new space when it comes to bitcoin, I would always prefer to at least pick gold, silver and bitcoin when it comes to storage of value in the long term.

The fact always remains that the trend is usually our friends and in a way, we cannot depict what the future holds, so we just have to take calculated risks most of the time.

[BitcoinGuruOne]

Gold and silver is very cheap now and i am actually thinking of investing in one or both of them, it is just a huge discount.
Commodities could be next big thing besides crypto  ( which currently also is not promising) in time when stocks are going down."

[smartbitcoininvestor]

Gold and Silver are both alternative assets and will be forever. I can't see a scenario where gold and silver will lose value, even if cryptocurrencies take over as the new norm over fiat currency. I would put money into Gold purely for the fact that it is a good hedge against the stock market.

Within a portfolio, I would likely diversify between precious metals and cryptocurrencies along with commodities and/or forex investments. For the average investor with a 401k or IRA, I think performing a Gold IRA rollover is a good option to get into gold as a commodity.

precious metals are the most reliable way to invest, at least before the creation of cryptocurrency

Gold has its long term 'investors' like central banks and thats the frame of reference to watch.   They are net buyers for over 10 years Ive been told which is significant as they rarely sell.   Gold gives no yield so to me its not investment, its just commodity like very expensive collection of steel cans people could collect and recycle for money  its just the rich end of that scale
A central bank can utilise gold as counter weight to debt they issue, it adds to their credit profile.  People cant so easily do that but I think its a kind of hedge to risk elsewhere and overall in the world that occurs from recessions spreading between economies, devaluation of currency especially I think.   In that way its very reliable, I consider it a form of pension saving because it really might take most of your life for it to appreciate or reach the correct value.  

 Right now gold is considered unused or a relic compared to modern economic innovations such as QE but central banks are playing with fire and its likely gold will revert to its status at the base of all value and assets priced above it

Yes, I believe that. Gold or silver investment can also be a long-term alternative, of course everyone knows the gold price is always rising and stable. Gold will be a good choice besides investing in bitcoin / other digital currencies.

The gold price always rising I get what you are saying but its not really the case on the surface anyway.   Since 2011 Gold has been very unpopular I think and to me the price has been ok on a decade long perspective but from a traders view its been pretty bad
