Anybody here sell their Gold to buy Bitcoin?

[Ridwan Fauzi]

I don't think that gold can be replaced by bitcoin since we all know that gold has an intrinsic value in itself. There is no one who don't know gold and its value, more than that gold can be used as jewelry to be used for some people, especially women and this is what will make gold always the first choice for every investor.

Comparing to bitcoin, there still many people who don't know bitcoin and its value even millennials still don't know the characteristics, especially the use of bitcoin itself. This is what will make bitcoin known only to some people, especially investors, for those who are less interested in investing I think it will be difficult to get to know it.

As for your concern, I guess you have to try it. You can sell some and buy bitcoin, the best investment don't put your egg in one basket, yeah you will often heard that term.

I can say that I have sold some gold to buy crypto back in the day. I had some laying around and I didn't need it, and it wasn't really profiting the way I hoped it would so I ended up selling it and buying bitcoin with it.

It wasn't much amount (like about 470 dollars or so) which is why it wasn't a big deal, not like I sold pounds and pounds of gold to get into bitcoin, so I do not know if mine would be considered a good example, maybe I am not the person we are talking about and richer people are the aim here, but if we can accept small amounts I did it. I wasn't really feeling gold, not even if it made me profit because I didn't really liked the logic, gold never really looked like something that would worth money for me, which is why I ended up selling it, even if I didn't get into bitcoin, I would have sold my gold anyway and get it into stocks or something instead.

I never get gold instead I got bitcoins by just buying those coins into a friend who needs money on that day and after that I got my Bitcoin holding starts on the first time I didn't realize it comes profitable for the next coming years but right now can't imagine the prize for the another ATH.

It's good to home right now a bitcoin than the gold if we are talking get volatile cryptocurrency is the most recommended. It's not too late to join a ride so invest responsibly.

It's awesome. Although I don't have gold now. So there is no question of thinking about converting. I'm here to glimpse who is transforming and how much. I desire I also have Gold in the future and I will convert similarly. However, even if you do not convert, there does not appear to be much loss. Because gold is just as valuable and profitable as bitcoin.

[Xxmodded]

I am looking for best way and most faster to increase my earning and investing, I dislike with gold investment because every yearn only raise under 5%, but you can try to hold and invest money on bitcoin just few minutes your money raise more than 10%, how come if you hold few years later and see how much profit get most faster than gold investment.

Gold is a good investment and it’s not a must that you’re going to sell all your holes to invest in Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency, you can still have gold and also have Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. So, there is no need to be selling all the assets you own.

Before I started investing in Bitcoin I did sell all my gold’s, but I didn’t do it because I wanted to start investing in Bitcoin, rather I did it because I need the funds I invested in there to be used for a business I was about to start around then. So after I have started the business I used the remaining funds to invest in Bitcoin and that’s a good move that I took. I didn’t invest everything in bitcoins.

If based on profit or an increase in price, of course Bitcoin will be the choice,
but if based on strength and quality, Gold is better than Bitcoin
I personally believe more in gold when compared to bitcoin, but that doesn't mean I don't store bitcoin, at least from my portfolio, gold is around 50% and Bitcoin is only 30%.
I can't possibly crazy sell all my gold to buy bitcoin, the reason is not because of profit, but because of the safety and strength of Gold that is my consideration.

Gold was one of the major assets in the whole word, it was already and ancient actually were up the present still useful in any form of business.
Having a gold as one of you assets is an advantage, so if ever I have gold, surely the 25% of it will goes to invest into Bitcoin, followed by the top 5 coins in cryptocurrency in which listed too at the coinmarketcap as well.

[koang]

There have been many debates comparing gold with bitcoin and analyzing which investment asset will be a better store of value but I think the debate on this subject is futile work
Gold and Bitcoin have their respective advantages and disadvantages, the two assets must be complementary assets to our investment portfolio. IMO

I will never sell my gold just to buy Bitcoin and vice versa.
I only use Fiat money to invest in both

Well, of the two choices, bitcoin is more accessible and it doesn't have any connections to your government and you don't have to pay for a storage since you can be your own bank with bitcoin. I think that having a gold in your portfolio is something that you will do when that portfolio is big enough to have a big passive income stream.

Good thinking but why altcoins when you have Bitcoin, Yes you may be in profits now if you did since BNB reached new heights from nowhere while the Bitcoin remains constant and unbeatable. I am also invested some savings of 2020 into gold but I am regretting about the decision now.

Hello Gang,
Long time investor/holder of Gold coins, new investor of Bitcoin.
I've been thinking about selling some Gold to buy Bitcoin.
I'm listening to the pros/cons of doing this and Bitcoin seems like the better asset to hold in the long run.

So..
Anyone else here convert their Gold to Bitcoin?
Kinda having a hard time parting ways with my coins.
There's something to be said about touching Gold coins.
They're heavier than you think..
They have a nice ringing tone to them when tapped.
Fun to look at.. older ones have a history to tell.

Maybe I'm alone in this feeling.. 14+ years of collecting coins is hard to let go, but ultimately I got into it to have an insurance in case
of economic collapse and security.. also to make a profit.
Seems like Gold may be taken out by Bitcoin in a few short years.

Thoughts?

If you are saying that Bitcoin adoption is increasing fast compared to gold then you are right because In past 1-2 years the gold investment has become low and gold prices have fallen from $56-$57k to $54k Because of the funds moving out of the gold market.The Bitcoin investment on the other side is increasing which In turn is increasing the prices to higher levels with market cap crossing $1 trillion in just period of 12 years.Bitcoin has surpassed gold in respect to prices but in market it's still far behind.

1)Bitcoin Price - $58k
Gold prices - $55k

Bitcoin Price > Gold Prices(They have achieved this mark with respect to price if gold)

2) Bitcoin Market cap - $1 trillion
     Gold Market cap - $10 trillion

Gold Market Cap > Bitcoin Market cap

So we can say people are moving towards Bitcoin investments at huge scale and gold is becoming somewhat secondary option for investors who prefer to have some tangible and risk free investment for a longer period of time.But one thing is for sure that Bitcoin will surpass every financial assest in short or long span of time in every aspect so you must hold a btc in your portfolio without any doubt.

It is not a debate and we don't need to do that ever. What OP wanted to know is that if it is a good idea to sell Gold just for Bitcoin investment? That was not comparing which one is profitable and which not because both of them have a good market value. If I'm in that situation, I'm still not selling mg Gold but rather adding more. If I have to invest in Bitcoin, it should be another set of investments, and I don't want to sacrifice the others just for this. But instead, having them both is a great investment plan.

[ipanks]

Why do I need to sell my gold to buy bitcoin? That is not a good suggestion to people as gold is like a safe haven for many people out there. Besides that, they do not even know much about bitcoin, so they will still hold their gold and not selling. But people who know about bitcoin can use the other free money to buy bitcoin, so they do not have to sell their gold, but they will have new investment in bitcoin.

[slaman29]

crypto users who became rich, and then bought some gold to diversify their wealth. Like I said, I don't know anyone who sold gold for crypto.

Same here; I am one of such people who sold crypto for the reason of buying gold because as per our culture we value gold more which lead me to buy gold time to time not just for the reason of investments but to have as a social symbol/status. Our family members are happy when they are buying and wearing gold rather than what they are usually watching BTC prices in their wallet. I mean they are not bothering about the growing rate of bitcoin but they just look at the happiness when they are wearing gold.

I'm not ready to agree that crypto people need to invest into gold for the reason of the diversification. Because when you're holding bitcoin definitely we do not need any diversification as any other asset is producing good ROI compared to what bitcoin is doing as per last 10 years. Probably after some decades, crypto people might need to think about diversification.

There you go. I mean, I personally think it's good to diversify and if I did have a lot more crypto, I would definitely be putting some of it into gold or something else like government pensions. Not most of it but some of it. Crypto is great and I believe it has a future, especially Bitcoin (or only BTC) but maybe in my short decades on earth I should play it safe.

Sell your Bitcoin for Gold. 
Shiny little things that make the eyes glow whenever they glance at it. I am not a fan of it though.
Never had bling in my life, not even a damn good-looking watch.

So yeah, if it's me who will decide I'll sell all that gold for bitcoin without a bit of remorse. But my wife will stop me. No doubt. 

[Slow death]

you have to think that bitcoins is an investment that has the disadvantage that in case of your death your family has a great chance of not benefiting from it, and if you give your private keys or password to people in your house you can risk losing all bitcoins

so I think you should diversify by investing a part in bitcoin, another part in offline businesses and another part in gold

[wiss19]

That must be a basic responsibility of every bitcoiners like they must educate other family members about bitcoins which includes how and where to transact and how to protect bitcoin securely. At the same time, I'm not ready to agree this alone could be the valid reason that we need to go beyond bitcoin investments for diversification purposes. Still, diversification is good but personally I will be preferring to have bitcoins more than 90% in my portfolio.

If my wife will make a comment here then she will prefer the other way.
Sell your Bitcoin for Gold.

This was how my family members reacted when bitcoin peaked in 2017. I argued with them and tried to convince by explaining the real potential of bitcoin but they were not ready to accept me until they were seeing the another round of bitcoin bull run in late 2020.

The price of gold is more stable than the price of bitcoin. Therefore, those who do not want to risk their capital invest in gold. But even in this case, I would release some of my capital from the sale of gold in order to invest in bitcoin. And the rest of the gold would serve as insurance against capital loss in the event of a failed investment in cryptocurrency.

And most of the time wife wins  , kidding! but same as you in terms of investment I rather to choose bitcoin than
gold, knowing the big potential of Bitcoin.

The chance that it will surpassed the last time high and can push to more folds in a much shorter period of time. need
to be more practical if you have good overview of the possibilities to come.
