Re: Will people come back to gold

[chrisculanag]

I think gold is a optional investment or safe investment , you cannot to lose more not like crypto . I prefer to invest gold to for your long term investment and like other said is the best investment because you really safe but not to much profit not like crypto.

We do have set of people who focuses on buying gold even the value may go up or down. And, i dont think buying gold will certainly yeild profit as like crypto currencies. So, its the right time to spend and collect as many coins as one can. Split your investment and buy different coins which is at its best growth trend and volume.

[pixie85]

We can all see that governments did the math. If they are buying gold it means they are afraid many fiat currencies will be killed by inflation in the next decade. They need something to store their wealth in and be able to trade with other countries in a monetary crisis. What do you do as a government when nobody wants your fiat or when a bank that held a lot of your money goes bankrupt? You have an option of selling your companies and land or let people starve.

everyone will not switch investments from gold to crypto currencies. until whenever gold will be the safest long-term investment and the price of gold every year increases. so it is impossible if the gold user will release all of his assets and switch to crypto currency. but gold users can invest without having to release all of their gold assets.

Gold has been a good stock to invest in from the very beginning, but I don’t think anyone of us here is ready to leave Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies to go for gold.

I don’t have even a single interest in gold, cause Bitcoin has always been my favorite every since I started what we call investment. I know a lot of people that invests in gold and they try to convince me that gold is better, but I think everyone has their own choice.

Gold practically has no use except for to accessorize. IMO, gold is not such a good investment unlike many believe it to be. Back when there were not much to invest in, gold was probably one of the few options to choose from. Plus considering the fact that it was used as a medium for exchange, people must have saved up on it because of it's increasing value. But I bet it had increasing value then because of its use, but now since it's not used as much nor is it as rare to find, it may not make much of a good investment nor will it's value increase as significantly as before.

I also think like that. gold has indeed become a clear instrument of investment long ago. well, but since 2016, there have been quite a lot of people glancing at crypto. but, after price declines, they might look for other investments, and gold could be one of them. but I think there are still many projects that can reach hardcap, it depends on the type of project that exists.

What about the 429 tonnes used for industrial purposes.

I wish people wouldn't comment when they don't know what they are talking about.

[@prashant]

i think comparing gold and crypto or especially btc is not appropriate as i have seen many do it,gold is a mineral ,it is not just used as asset but in different field as well ,one of the major it is used in ornaments and south asia and rich people prefer to wear rich mineral which dignify their status,sorry to say btc doesn't play role other than payment breakthrough,in future we might see better payment technology but gold will be irreplaceable asset in general life.so it is not fit to compare both of them.

You obviously miss the whole point of gold

Gold is a very specific investment, if investing in it can be called an investment at all. People are typically investing in something (say, Bitcoin) to make their money grow. But this is not the case with gold and if you are looking to multiply your wealth, gold is an enormously wrong choice (read, you should look elsewhere). Gold is a store of value and it should be considered as such only, i.e. as a store of value and not as a vehicle for multiplying it



Gold is like silence, it is hard to refute it

[Irvinn]

People will not return to gold, because they have not left him anywhere. Gold has always been and will be the most reliable repository of value, which also brings some profit. More risky investments sometimes bring more profit or loss of your funds. Cryptocurrency has a certain risk, so the amounts that we are willing to risk, we invest in cryptocurrency, and those that we want to keep in reserve, it is advisable to store either in a bank for deposit storage or in assets such as gold.

I believe god would be used only as backup. After all the human society is more developed than 50 years ago and we can estimate in a different way the value of objects.

[Lumi3004]

Where when all people think that bitcoin / cryptocurrency is the most important thing in all fields that's where everyone will get back to business in 2017,
I'm sure this 2019 will make everyone nervous.

[leetcoiner]

Indeed, Bitcoin is a virtual gold.  Because it is expensive and its limited amount in circulation.  I am sure that in the future we will use it and we will all understand it.

Let's continue the topic here since it was an interesting discussion but as usual, the shitposters kill any discussion open.
(it's a self-moderated thread)

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.

The purchases of Gold by the central banks increased by over 70% last year. It's something that didn't happen since the '60s - '70s and the dissolution of the Bretton Woods agreements. The main reason is to get away from the dollar. Even Iran and its crypto will be backed by Gold for the same reason and to avoid the US sanctions. Even the ETFs increased by something like 200% last year

The global economy is still weak despite what has been done (or not) since 2008. People, countries, central banks started to realize this and cover their ass by turning to Gold

I trust gold more than any other traditional assets all around, it is tested and aged since the beginning. In any case just to be safe, we better hold golds too for us to be put in a safe place. Sounds great right? Gold, Bitcoin, Farm Lands, I feel safe with these investments.

[rijaljun]

If we take a look closer, we have already found Bitcoin and there's only a few opportunity for us to get back on fiat. Let's put aside fiat since there are a lot problem on it and do compare Bitcoin with Gold. The biggest problem on Gold is about the size and weight in transaction : Bitcoin can be divided to 8 decimal and simply used by transferring it to other party while Gold, even can be divided to small pieces, it will be hard for a large amount of transactions. Other problem might be about control : Bitcoin, as we all knew have no center and no one can actually control over it while Gold can be controlled by few parties that has a big power.

[bonker]

My opinion is the gold is like being stable for long period of time people always using it for their future investment but more than gold people want quick profit and quick success that's why Bitcoin will be going like super developing investment in all the mindset of paper so coming back to Gold will be little difficult for everyone in the future.

Maybe your opinion is true that gold has long been used as the easiest investment whenever it can be directly carried out transactions, but it is different from bitcoin because bitcoin is a long-term investment that needs to be researched before making a transaction, because if Bitcoin incorrectly applies the transaction then it can experience big losses. it will not happen with gold.

You are quite right, the bitcoin can generate losses only when you enter the less indicated time, that is, in 2017 many people entered and bought bitcoint in $ 20k, that happened to them because they did not know what they had in the market, if we compare it with gold, is very different, because gold has a great support worldwide and is the one that gives greater stability to an economy even of nations, in fact, the nations that have more gold reserves in the world, you could say that are well prepared to resist a possible global collapse of the economy if we take into account the dollar and the euro.

On the other hand, bitcoin represents a safe investment at this time, because if you study the market at this time, it can be determined that there is a very good accumulation phase for a bitcoin investment, which, in a time that can not be determine when, bitcoin will grow much more and will be much more valuable than gold, in fact in a possible global crash, you could compare or equate the value of Bitcoin / Gold, since that would be the currency that could be taken into account in a moment like that, if the world economy in such a case can not recover.

Many currently buy gold, but they themselves buy gold, they also buy bitcoin, because they know that having a strong backing, they can always have bitcoin and gold as a speculation, so I think that yes, many buy gold for those same reasons, to protect against a global decline in the economy.

this happens because volatile bitcoin is high, so the value of bitcoin can change drastically in a short time. of course it becomes problematic when used as a currency. but if BTC can win the trust of the whole world, I think price stability can be maintained, and it does not need to go back to gold

[Sithara007]

During the past 6-7 years, gold has lost its importance as an investment asset, partially because investing in other assets were much more profitable. For example, during 2011-19, gold gave a return of -20%, while DOW JONES gave a return of +136%. Among the major assets, gold was the only one which gave a negative return. All the others (real estate, treasury bonds, commodities.etc) gave positive returns to their users. And the future outlook also looks discouraging for gold.
