Gold exist 1000+ years. while bitcoins exist 10 years.

Gold and Bitcoin are different, even though they have the same investment value.  Gold is a real item, while Bitcoin is a digital item.  For this reason, both fans also come from different groups.  Gold is more interested by traditional people and Bitcoin is more in demand by Modern people.  And Bitcoin has a higher risk, although Bitcoin can experience faster changes, while Gold is safer even though the price movements are slower.

During old times, gold coins were used as a currency everywhere in the world. But as the population increased, it became difficult to find enough gold to mint the coins. So the governments came up with the alternative of fiat coins and banknotes. And in due course of time, this fiat currency will be replaced by cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

investment cannot be measured by time. there is no guarantee that gold or crypto will prevail in the future. it is possible that in the future there will be other popular types of assets from gold or crypto. investment is based on market demand so no one can predict the glory of investment assets. because when cryptocurrencies created it is not intended for digital assets but for online transactions.

I agree that there is no point in calculating the stability of any currency or metals. There is no absolute guarantee that Bitcoin will cost a million dollars. It is amazing to hear now, but Bitcoin may well cost $ 1 if any error is discovered.

Firstly, I disagree with what Apes said because gold how been in existence before you and I are giving birth to. Besides, the institutions called it federal reserve and this proof that it will prevail in future.

I agree that there is no point in calculating the stability of any currency or metals. There is no absolute guarantee that Bitcoin will cost a million dollars. It is amazing to hear now, but Bitcoin may well cost $ 1 if any error is discovered.

Yes, the future are not promised and if any error is discovered Bitcoin can go back to $1 but the work of crypto communities, developers and miners is not to join crypto currency but to also fix crypto related problems and make crypto currency great which is the reason why Satoshi said Bitcoin is decentralized so we can find solution to every errors or problem by ourselves.

No one among us can predict exactly what future will bring to this industry, there's no need comparing both assets even there's similarities being
a good assets to hold, value will increased when demands push it higher, the fate of this market will be in the hands of its believers progress and
developments will happened if supports will continue to be there.

[slashz9]

why you compare it, it cant be gold and bitcoin have their own value we already know total supply of bitcoin it just 21 million.
price bitcoin will go skyrockets if people start to believe it and use that for currency as fiat.

[iMark]

You can not compare both gold and bitcoin, they do not have any thing in common, gold is a physical valuable, while bitcoin is a digital asset and Bitcoin has achieved more value in 10 years than gold in 1000 years.

That is a valid point, bitcoin has surpassed the valuation of gold nor anything in the world in a short period of time, there have being wars in the past to loot the wealth and during gold's reign as the supreme metal throughout history, i really do not know how many wars have being fought in the name of gold, but i am sure there were many, can we expect cyber warfare in the name of bitcoin in the future. 

Yeah one of them happened because of gold, the army wanted to fight because of gold, they were loyal because of gold. maybe in the future too, cyber warfare to loot or get paid from bitcoin. Gold has long existed, but new commodities have emerged, and that is in great demand for modern people

[blueteam09]

Gold exist for over a 1000+ years maybe? Bitcoin only 10 years. Also the internet existed about 25+ years. Bitcoin price is higher than gold by over 200%. I think the value of Bitcoin is going to sky rocket once again. When technology gets more advance n the Bitcoin system upgrades. Just another speculation.

Gold has a 1000 year development process, but it can only be used as a jewelry or used as a form of asset accumulation. Bitcoin has 10 developments, but it brings many more valuable benefits than gold. Bitcoin can use as an accumulative asset in an anonymous form, which can also use as a currency.

This is inevitable, you know.

People will obviously and continuously compare these two since they are great investment these days, except Gold since it's been a long time that it is a good investment. People can't invest in gold, what I am saying is that people will choose a lot of assets and they will end up to consider Bitcoin or gold, at that time they will be comparing these two though I will pick gold obviously for a safe investment, though I can't do that since I don't have that much money to invest.

Buying gold is never a investment it always is a hedge against governments. If you want to invest in gold you buy gold mining stocks.

[Adriano2010]

Well gold is physical while bitcoin is virtual, but both have their role, while gold can be stored and sold when want, and bitcoin can be used for payments is more usefull bitcoin on my opinion then gold.

Gold exists for millions of years and have been used as asset for much longer than just 1000 years.

And it is completely inaccurate to compare BTC price and the gold supply since golds supply is not the same as bitcoins.

You got it all right. Today An airport in Saudi Arabia was hit by a missile fired by Houthi rebels. Looks bad for middle east, Gulf and Stock markets.

Gold going to $1800/ounce

That is true that btc is a recent phenomenon and future may be great for countries which ban it or may not make it legal will be worthless and for them gold will only be the case they have to be with it and btc is digital currency which has many uses as well .

Gold has existed for much much longer than 1000 years. There is strong evidence that it has been here since the begining of the planet earth, possibly before? From human perspective it may be losing value since we're moving towards digital economy but there are many physical uses of gold which we do not even know yet. Once we've completely moved away from physical money and physical investment, we can finally start using gold for more productive things.

[Boh manok]

In my opinion.  Gold will last until whenever in the world because gold has been very trusted by the people in investing or saving money, but even though there are also those who choose bitcoin who are not even 10 years old.  At present, but this is good enough for bitcoin or gold because if you have a lot of interest, then both will remain at the peak of glory

Here you are talking about thousands of years of currency evolution from the gold coins of the Roman empire to the current state which took centuries to reach where we are now and to image that the world will adopt bitcoin in the near future is a fantasy thought process, bitcoin is not empowered by any state or country to adopt them as their primary currency and bitcoin is not here to take over any countries fiat currency, it is still in the beginning phase and governments around the world are planning to implement rules and regulations to see how bitcoin fit in their economy.

[Danslip]

This discussion can be a real fundamental debate between economists but the value of both financial asset is from each other. The price graphic is different if you zoom in but both charts have the same similarities and correlation.  There is no reason to compare the gold price and expect the same move by Bitcoin. It is more suitable to compare the digital money with the Dot com bubble.

[Cnut237]

Gold is valuable because everyone agrees that it is valuable. And because it has been valuable through all of recorded history, the consensus is that it will retain that value for the future. That's it. There's nothing intrinsic to gold itself that makes it valuable, it's just the consensus. Many other things are stores of value, despite having no intrinsic worth. Fine art, for example. People don't buy a Van Gogh because it's a good painting, but because it's a good investment.

So is Bitcoin a better store of value than gold? Well the answer is that it depends on what people want to do with a store of value item. If all they want to do is lock it in a vault, then gold is probably good enough. But if they actually want to use it, to transfer it, and to be 100% confident in the maximum possible supply, then Bitcoin is far far superior. All that remains, however difficult that might be, is for this to become the consensus opinion.
