Will people come back to gold

[SvonioneFromMangoCoinz]

With the current economy, the fears about the Brexit, Italy, the Sino-American problems and the general pessimism among investors; It looks like Gold is coming back the past months. At the same time, countries like the EU, Japan & China are reducing their investments in the economy,
(it should also reduce demand for the USD?)

Even the Central banks are buying more Gold (+13% from the previous year). Economists predict a dark year for 2019 and it seems a lot of large funds are now buying Gold massively. Especially from Asia and Soviets.

I think people use a lot of money to buy gold to preserve their money. It is not a new trend. When the economy stabilizes, they will definitely invest in crypto and the stock market. Do not worry, everything will be fine.

I do not believe it, who likes encryption, blockchain, technology and bitcoin will not change market due to the low season! This is only a matter of time!

If BTC price is quoted in Dollars and the QE unravels such that inflation is seen massively in the available supply of currency that will mean BTC price is going up as dollar becomes a far weaker standard.   At least for a year or so, probably more that'll be true.
If the economy is going bearish and not also increasingly buying US debt like somehow happened in 2008 then thats possible

They must be buying OTC gold then, because the market as it is doesn't reflect the huge buyers interest that seems to be suggested here.

China is the worlds largest producer of gold, exports nothing and reports its purchases and holdings of gold irregularly and many think inaccurately.   Central banks have been net buyers of gold for a decade now, we'd have seen lower prices otherwise but I see no chance of them going below 800 like a proper reversion should be occuring.   Instead we have endless QE, not repayment, no budget surplus or trade growth that would reflect a good outcome to QE.    Nobody will say this as it might provoke the worst but the gold will keep getting bought up  for another decade I've no doubt, the price that results from that I guess is higher but nobody knows how high it'll go as that also depends how badly dollars fall.

isn't gold a stable investment since time immemorial? and trust in gold is maintained. I think they will return to crypto if their trust returns. especially if the whales buy in large quantities, so that fomo will occur

[kodtycoon]

Maybe yes and maybe not. For those who have been disappointed with the crypto market, it seems that he will leave Crypto and switch to other assets such as gold or possibly real estate. But for those who still have high optimism and enthusiasm in crypto, then surely they will stay and just be patient to look forward to the next increase from the crypto market.

Governments are mostly the first to notice that their economies will very likely perform poorly in the coming years, and would start accumulating as much gold as possible to hedge potential risk of devaluation asap.

We haven't yet seen the global economy go full bear to see what its effect is on Bitcoin at current stage. I guess the odds are high that it works against Bitcoin rather than for it, but I will applaud being proven wrong if so.

   Investment on Gold never disappeared...the 3rd quarter of this year Gold price value drops to lowest point as posted on the Stock Market Exchange.. then after such drops it slowly goes up again..investors are often shift some of their investment into another project with high potential of gain on either short term or long term investment. The significant of Investment on Gold is simple..it is a solid asset compared to crypto as Digital asset. still it is an individual choice where they want to invest.

Gold will continue to be relevant in the economy die to it relatively stable price and since it risk involvement is low gold will be the preferred choice of investment for people will low strength for risk. And just like the silver and the real estate investment it have physical value.

The question is how many of the loyal for cryptocurrency will be? For sure it will compromise the market price of bitcoin and will only play at lowest market price possible to be recorded for 2018-2019. This is for sure that cryptocurrency will never be like the good times again that all are happy.

[Levious]

Yes, the price of gold will hit a record high in 2019, and gold is still the best safe haven in the world. The cryptocurrency market is not mature enough and there is a lot of instability. So gold will rise in the coming year.

Gold does get its limelight only when government bonds and corporate stock for finding its downfall. Yes, gold is still a are very good alternate investment opportunity for institutional investors worldwide. Other than this, gold is always getting a place in everyone's portfolio just for the reason of diversification.

[Umuoji]

Cryptocurrency is something that can never come to an end. I don't believe that people will abandon crypto for gold, the market will surely recover very soon.

[yusupjatigumilar]

I think if you look at the current market conditions it is not impossible many people think of investing again in gold and or silver, because they want investment commodities that are truly safe to save their funds and also profitable if stored for a long time

[rickadone]

Gold has always been a safe choice for an investor, it won't make you rich but if you keep on hoarding gold like Smaug there is a big chance that any economical crisis or any collapse in market won't affect you as much as other investors. Gold is more of a safe bet and would make you gain gradual slow profits instead of big leaps.

Moreover, many people believe the same thing that if you are investing into gold, you might as well just keep it at fiat and put it on a savings account, at least you will not lose money that way neither. I think people who invest into gold are mainly old people, they already made enough investments in their lifetime and since they are old they don't want risks. Young people and even middle age people go for riskier but more rewarding investments.

Crypto and gold are different way of thinking investment, Gold needs long time to get huge profit but Crypto can really pump your profit in a year or month or sometimes in a day. And we know people have different mind set and Most of people think that gold is safest way of investment where chances of loss is very less as compared to Crypto.it may be possible that people attract toward gold.

[LeGaulois]

It is not a financial crisis that drives up the gold price but rather the reaction from central banks.
If they put negative interest rates to prevent the economy from collapsing, yes in this case the gold price rises.
But if you have a financial crisis and they do nothing your gold will be caught in the crisis. So by buying gold you suppose a crisis and that the central banks are going to panic. But for a European, it is certain that if there is another crisis I do not think Europe can survive a recession. 

[musharaf]

All the time investors are searching the best time and opportunity to invest in that and people will must come for gold because it is not easy to wait for the whole year and if in result the market not show any rise we have to use some other ways for making profit and investment in different sectors is the best way to make money for long term.

[aoluain]

Gold might be good to get into. There is talk that the stock market could be heading
for a bear trend and that could last a while. Gold might benefit from that but it would
be a slow burner.

I too am quite positive in the long term for bitcoin regardless of all the FUD.

[thunderbitz2717]

Not all people can avail gold in our time, only can afford people could have it. Though we all know that Gold was already an ancients, but of course, still majority of the people all over the world are don't have gold because its too expensive but compare into bitcoin it was surpassed by it. That's why even the price of bitcoin now was totally dumped I still believed it will bounce again, only I just  need to be patience and hold em in a long term as well until the time will come up to sell it.

Exactly, gold and cryptocurrency investments are having a different thing. I think people if they are a real crypto enthusiast gold is nothing for them. Crypto you can invest even a small fraction and gold is not, most probably those people trying to invest are those they can afford to lose or whatever they can afford. In my own, in this situation, I rather invest crypto than gold because I can buy while cheap and even small amount, I know soon it will bring a good ROI.

I don't think the crypto currency investors are going back to invest on gold now in large scale,this may happen because governmets want to save their value so they need to have more gold to backup since USD is weakening now when compared to previous year.I still believe bitcoin will be still preference for more investors but they are waiting for the right time to enters into the market.
