Bitcoin or gold?

[8Habits]

Nowadays of course bitcoin, if I had the money $100.000 then I will buy bitcoin 85% and rest for gold, this is because I'm optimistic investment bitcoin is still beneficial to at least 10 more years.

That’s a sagacious investment strategy, pal. Not just 10 years, bitcoins have potential to grow for centuries. Investing in gold can’t get you profit that bitcoin is capable of. Crypto market keep on fluctuating that means the prices of bitcoins can pump beyond imaginations.

If you are really up to a short term profit, bitcoin maybe the best shot. Gold is somewhat for a long term investment. however, we should be very skillful to earn with bitcoin when want to accumulate it through trading. However, if we just hold it for a long period of time, that might do as well.

I will choose both, 60% invest to Bitcoin and Altcoin for long-term, 40% invest to Gold and see it as a saving money long-term, maybe come to end of life
The reason I use more money to invest cryptocurrency because it have more potential now and can make a huge profit with 1-5 years. With Gold, Gold can growth but slow than Crypto because it stable and can't market fluctuations as crypto in present

Don't ignore the growth potential of gold. Somewhere I read that the gold prices can increase by as much as 4 times by 2020. The mine production of gold is in decline (due to the closure of mines in South Africa), and the demand is rising steadily thanks to Russia, China and India. I believe that gold is a very good candidate for long term investment.

When compared with bitcoin, gold isn't a worthy candidate for long term investment. Gold may be increasing but not as fast as bitcoin. Gold increases steadily per year whereas bitcoin has become far more powerful and increases drastically in a matter of hours. Keeping this view bitcoin a far more secure investment.

No, bitcoin is the investment with the greatest grow, gold in most instances will not be able to match your returns on bitcoin, but gold offers being a store of value that has passed the test of time, bitcoin has potential but we do not know how long it is going to last, and that is why some prefer gold.

Yes everyone knows that gold will never disappear and will give good profits in long term but bitcoin has an ability to give huge profits in quick time which is never possible with gold but the only issue is bitcoin is that no one knows how long it will survive.

If you had to convert all your wealth to either Bitcoin or gold and keep it there for 10 years, which would you choose? Keep in mind the fact that Bitcoin has only been around for 5 years, and could be fundamentally different in any number of ways in 10 years.

I would choose Bitcoin because I think Bitcoin will grow in 10 years time. Meanwhile, the price of gold is too stable so I think the profit earned from gold in 10 years is not much. Therefore, investing in Bitcoin is a bit risky and risky, but the profit made after 10 years is extremely large

You can't say that the returns from gold during the last 10 years was low. Check the historic prices. In 2007, the price of gold was $695 per oz, which went up to around $1,800 per Oz. in 2012. So it will be wrong to say that the returns from gold were low.

We should go on what we believe, I believe in bitcoin as well and I think 10 years from now we can already see a great improvement.
Let's still be responsible in investing because there is a bigger risk despite most of the investors are optimistic bitcoin can bring success in the future.
Believe in yourself that you are making the right decision but continue to update to educate yourself on the recent news since this affects the market.

I don't know what will happen after 10 years with me or with Bitcoin, my eyes are always on governement regarding bitcoin news , is government will adopt Bitcoin as legal currency or as illegal. But in sense of of gold its legal and can use without problem.
If government's will accept Bitcoin as legal currency then it will great opportunity to earn good money.

[meebs]

I will invest in bitcoin for short term and in gold for a long term as gold has more faith from people and it will surely survive in future and will try to make profit from bitcoin till its alive without depending on it for a long term.

That's cherry picking at its best

For example, why did you take the year 2012 when gold had been at an ATH price (in nominal prices), and not this year, when gold is barely above 1,200 dollars per ounce, which is more than 30% less? Further, if we make corrections for dollar inflation, it will turn out that gold prices peaked as back as 1980, i.e. more than 35 years ago. Cherry picking is never good if you are looking for real data and making well-informed decisions



Are you still going to claim that gold returns are worth it long-term wise?

[Vishnu.Reang]

Are you still going to claim that gold returns are worth it long-term wise?

Can we have a similar chart comparing the returns from DOW JONES to that from gold? I am sure that the stock markets gave better returns compared to bullion, and in the future also this scenario is going to prevail.

[loyseu]

Bitcoin of course. You can't sell your gold immediately right?

[chineseprancing]

I choose both, because bitcoin price now in the market was declining, while gold is fluctuating fair. Moreover this both had a high ability and potential to the market.

[Pierre 2]

I also choose both but, gold doesn't have liquidity. Doesn't at all.
But bitcoin is quite easy to sell and buy. So I prefer bitcoin over gold!

[Kronos21]

It seems to me that there is no single answer to this question. My opinion is that to earn the income you need using bitcoins and to store all that you need to have earned gold. This tactic of course will reduce the amount of your current assets, but will protect savings.

Yes true, both is good and had the advantages of a profitable investment, gold is the most secure and profitable investment today is bitcoin. I will give same portion for both.

For me I will choose bitcoin because it has a high increase in price as time getting older. I like bitcoin more than gold.

[djoko adi]

Had fallen a few years ago, the value of cryptocurrency aka Bitcoin digital currency has now climbed. For the first time, the value of Bitcoin beat gold.
At the end of last week, the value of "sekeping" Bitcoin recorded touching the figure of 1238.11 US dollars or more than Rp 16.4 million, according to Bitcoin Price Index (BPI) and Coinbase.
For comparison, the price of gold is known at 1,237.73 US dollars per troy ounce (oz) at the same time.
Bitcoin itself is known to often experience high fluctuations. In 2013, Bitcoin had reached the range of 1,000 US dollars per chip (unit, 1 Bitcoin). But the value then continues to decline to stay 200 US dollars in mid-2015.

[prehisto]

The first instinct is to say gold!
But when you start thinking , the idea of potential value in 10 years for btc is incredible.

So I would say about 80/20 gold/btc.

[Aikidoka]

I would recommend both. 50% for gold and 50% for bitcoin. To clarify, bitcoin is unpredictable in terms of price growth. It can increase higher tomorrow, and it can decrease the day after tomorrow as well as gold. Both of them have high prices, and if you want to get much money, do not rely on one thing. Imagine if you put your wealth on gold, then the price went down, you will lose profits. But if you put it on both bitcoin and gold, there is a higher percentage of your success. At least, you'd win one of them, either gold or bitcoin.

[Cocobrayy]

If I think bitcoin, because bitcoin can be searched through giveaway and faucet. But if the gold had to be bought ^ _ ^
