BTC or Gold Investment?

[Xal0lex]

let's see from a practical point of view. holding gold is cumbersome! you can't go through customs, and you can't hide it.
yes ok there are companies that offer you contracts to be able to deposit it in their caveuax but at what cost? governments could size it

Let's look at this situation in terms of all the possible ways to invest in gold, not just the one most hackneyed way. Investing in physical gold is too problematic a way to invest. In addition to the inconveniences you listed, in many countries you have to pay a large tax, sometimes as much as 20%. It is extremely unprofitable, so in addition to investing in gold bullion or coins, there are shares, ETF, stocks of mining companies, OMC, futures. Such ways also have some disadvantages, but they allow you to avoid all those customs problems and what you've listed in terms of disadvantages of investing in gold.

it is absolutely true. these tools are also valid for managing gold.
 but in this way the liquidity that such an asset can give is lost. you have a surrogate.
You Need a third part for your operation even for storage big amounts.
Plus (worst part), it can be taxed or seized at the source ... in short, the main problem remains which is the unique advantage that bitcoin offers....

Yes, there are certain risks of centralized storage, but so is bitcoin. But do you know many such cases when such withdrawal happened? Such cases are very rare and don't happen more often than some big crypto exchange like MT.GOX gets busted. The services that provide such services have much better regulation than crypto services. The same can be said about the difference between investors in gold and bitcoin and their derivatives. Gold investors are much more qualified.

I don't care where you invest, because basically we have to invest for our own sake, bitcoin or gold, I think, comes back to ourselves. If debating which one is better, I think it will be endless. Because everyone has their own opinion. So invest because we already know the risks involved, don't invest because you hear other people say it's good.

If you ever invest, then investing in gold is the same as investing in bitcoin, if you invest in gold, you will get money immediately.  And if I invest Bitcoin then I have to wait for it.  Bitcoin I think is more valuable than gold I think.  Bitcoin is very valuable.  If we can rate it, we will gain a lot.  So if I invest I will invest in Bitcoin.  Besides that, I will consider investing in gold.

To me both look good, investing in gold first or BTC later, but I'm confused by the current market conditions especially in terms of ROI, who is the fastest to move on?

Why not both?  People always scream one way or another, and in reality both people are right.  Diversifying between asset classes is always the smart play.  Reduces your downside risk being in just one, while being able to catch any raises in another.  Not which one, it's both.

I believe you should take a look at bitcoin. As you can see, many bitcoiners have demonstrated that they have made significant profits from the currency. It all depends on whether you are willing to take the risk. Many investors choose Bitcoin because of its rapid growth, but if you'd rather something more secure and low-risk, consider investing in gold. Here's the idea: To decide which of the two investments you should make, start with a small sum of money. For instance, you could invest the same amount in gold and bitcoin, then watch to see which one is more profitable and able to quickly recoup your initial investment.

Both will be the best choice. I will also prefer buying gold while investing with Bitcoin because both of them are good for long-term investment. I just find lesser risk with gold since it isn't volatile and we could have it physically. However, Bitcoin could provide a higher profit when the market strikes high but if you're a wise investor, you will grab both because of the opportunity that these two could offer.

If you do have the funds, it is better to invest in both. Diversification is good when it comes to investments.
With gold, you have no worries that the price will go down overnight as its market has been established for so long already.
Whereas, if you are a risk taker, you can also invest some in bitcoin. But you should know the risks involved because of its very volatile market.
At the end of the day, it is on you how you will invest your funds. As long as you know what you're getting into, you can do both.

If you think about fast you will get washed away like many other traders who were looking for similar methods to make money. There are methods which tempt you to take them because they promise big returns in small efforts but these are mostly scams. Because you have the idea of "fast money" in your head, I am asking you to be cautious about your investments.

In all good sense, bitcoin has shown a bigger possible return than gold. But this comes with its consequences as well. Bitcoin is not easily trade-able everywhere in the world and depending upon your local government things might vary. Both are good investments but choosing one over the other is not a feasible question, because both are for the long run and bitcoin is not something that gives returns in short term.

So if you were looking for a confirmation bias echo that bitcoin is the choice for a "quick profit" - that I will say no. It takes time to get skilled about trading.

It's true that taking both of them is a good step, while every year it will go up even though it's not high but tends to be stable for the long term for gold, but that must also be done because we must be able to stabilize our assets in a safer place.

Bitcoin I think we already know how high risk is faced while the increase can be as short as possible, apart from all that bitcoin is a good investment too I think staying safe is long term too.

I think there are certain time periods where it makes sense to invest in DeFi platforms like MAXX Finance or Alchemix, high cap cryptos like BTC, stocks, real estate or gold. We are seeing crypto recover now and alts have been pumping. Gold and stocks have been dumping. When crypto is done pumping this next cycle I will rebalance into real estate and some gold probably. As to stocks, I probably will only buy military stocks if the war in Europe heats up.

I believe that most of us already invested in gold before we get our hands on btc, that is because gold exists first than btc but I think many people have totally converted to bitcoin after knowing that it is much better than gold in terms of being profitable and then utility because you can also use your bitcoin on so many things whether offline or offline but gold can't possibly do that.

Most people won't accept gold directly in exchange for their service for some reasons like they didn't know if how much is the exact value of it while in bitcoin there are so many converters online to easily identify its value. In conclusion, it's still best to diversify and pick both of them to mitigate the risk.

gold is only great if you want to fight against the inflation otherwise it's definitely have a little chance of making you rich, instead with bitcoin it has shown tremendous potential throughout the years of giving ROI more than thousand percent.
I think it's all depends in your preference if you want to fight against inflation and also keeping your wealth even in the middle of crisis gold could be great solution otherwise if you want tremendous ROI and become rich then I guess other investment instrument like bitcoin is better than gold.

Gold can indeed avoid inflation, but Bitcoin can also help avoid inflation. Perhaps another advantage is that Gold will not be in trouble with the law,
because all countries legalize the circulation of gold, different from Bitcoin where there is still resistance from some countries. So not all countries
legalize Bitcoin, so selling Bitcoin is not as easy as selling Gold. But because now we are very easy to access the internet, even if we live in a country
that considers Bitcoin illegal, we can still own and sell Bitcoin. When it comes to the profit that will be generated, Bitcoin is indeed much better than
Gold, because the price is volatile we can use it to generate large profits. In the end, as you said, the decision is up to us, according to each of us.
But because actually both are very good as an investment option, I prefer investing in both, because for me it will be more profitable if
we diversify investments.

The fastest to move on is Bitcoin. It constantly fluctuates in price, making it extremely useful for day trading. If you know how to "play with the market", you'll be able to make a lot more money with Bitcoin than Gold alone. The latter is much more stable and trusted by many people worldwide. It's the oldest store of value in the world that can be used in times of need. I'd "hodl" both Bitcoin and Gold for complete peace of mind.

When there's no Internet access or electricity, Gold comes to the rescue. But when you want portability or privacy (sort of), then Bitcoin becomes a true winner. What to do with your money is entirely up to you. As long as you invest wisely, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts

[amihada]

Bitcoin and gold are good choices for investment, I choose bitcoin investments because bitcoin investments can be stored in the long term and can get a lot of profit if gold investment moves slowly.

[Ahli38]

I myself invest in both of these things, namely gold and Bitcoin. because I can't really choose one. In physical investment I choose gold and buy space. and for digital asset investment then bitcoin is my choice. both excel in their respective places. so it's natural if you OP feel confused.

This will give birth to different understandings, if you ask this to people who are happy and like to invest in crypto, it is certain that people will choose to invest in bitcoin first, especially if you pay attention to the graph of bitcoin instead experiencing a positive trend, although there are still ups and downs for now and I think bitcoin is still the choice of many people in the future

[gullobhai]

Both Bitcoin and gold are good for investment, especially since there are ready markets for both. But gold has the boundary because of more established ways of trading it.

[CryptoBuds]

If I didn't understand Bitcoin at all I might have chosen to Invest In Gold but because I have been in this space for a while and understand the market dynamics I will certainly choose to Invest in Bitcoin. Yes, Gold is more stable which means over time it will be less ROI when compared to Bitcoin so Investing in Bitcoin is the Choice, and Gold could be my stablecoin

It is more likely that you would choose bitcoin over gold if you are understand bitcoin. It doesn't just stop at the price increase but in the future but when it comes to bitcoin we will talk about the technology of the future and extremely useful utilities that even gold and fiat cannot possess.
Besides, holding bitcoin is said to be safer than gold with its anonymity, no one can take your money or freeze your assets if you hold bitcoins with a non-custodial wallet.

Investing on bitcoin in this season is more favourable than Gold, because Bitcoin price can increase higher at anytime for traders to have something good to achieve from their investment. I think, Bitcoin is a good choice for those that understood the way it favour traders that invested huge amount of money when the price is low and sell when the price is high in the market. I will prefer to invest a huge amount of capital on Bitcoin and invest little capital on gold, because gold used to take a long time before the price will increase higher compared to bitcoin price that can pump at anytime in the market.

[Miaallen]

Making investment decision, I will always go with Bitcoin inasmuch we're still in the Cryptocurrency bear market. But at a time cryptocurrency market is experiencing a boom which has been relatively long, I will go for gold because after the long time boom for Bitcoin or crypto in general, the doom is the next and gold's price doesn't dip as much as Bitcoin does with volatility.
