Bitcoin Is Better Than Digital Gold

[cryptoWODL]

The connection between gold and bitcoin (BTC) as stores of value is obvious, and the demand for BTC as a digital store of value was a big reason why the cryptocurrency grew in popularity, crypto services provider Matrixport said in a report Monday.
Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $540 billion, equivalent to 10.8% of the market cap of physical financial gold, Matrixport said, adding that gold exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) are valued at $200 billion. Read

Apparently I see no reason for comparison as they’re both good store of value and most times if they are possibilities of you owning them both, then I would advice that you go for it rather than wanting to compare them.
Bitcoin is still very new as compared to gos who has been in the market for a very long time and despite bitcoin infancy, it still has good future but very volatile while gold be it digital or physical gold isn’t that volatile and if I’m asked to choose between them both, then I might get to choose gold if maybe I have huge funds and scared of volatility but since I already know the risk associated with bitcoin, and if I could afford one bitcoin, I would simply dump the money in bitcoin
What I’m trying to say in essence is that, bitcoin is the future especially if you understand the risk.

Apparently I see no reason for comparison as they’re both good store of value and most times if they are possibilities of you owning them both, then I would advice that you go for it rather than wanting to compare them.

Even if we compare these two assets thousands of times, gold is still the asset that the whole world trusts and uses, while bitcoin is a fairly new asset and is considered riskier. I also don't understand why so many people like to compare these two assets when no one forces us to choose just one of them. Why don't we choose both and diversify our assets? Or choose according to each person's needs.

OP, if bitcoin is truly better than gold, why do thousands of billionaires, millionaires, rich people and all governments accumulate and hold instead of bitcoin? We can compare, but let's be realistic because both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

[bittraffic]

Gold market existed long before BTC, sure its cap is way bigger. But majority of us here will prefer BTC of course, it couldn't really convince anyone to solely leave BTC and choose gold. It is not going to hurt the investor does have gold along with BTC.

Time is very uncertain now so whatever could happen, your survival depends on how much investment and the kind of investment you have. Gold can be paid to someone who doesn't understand BTC.

[pooya87]

That is a weird comparison in your title.

Gold is by nature physical and if you turn it into digital, it stops being gold and becomes IOUs which can not even be compared with bitcoin.
Similarly Bitcoin is designed to be digital and if you convert that to physical (some have tried in the past), it also stops being Bitcoin and becomes IOUs which again can not even be compared with gold.

So if you want to compare, the comparison should be between Bitcoin and Gold (not digital gold). And in that comparison both of them are good for different purposes and each have its own advantages and disadvantages.
For example unlike gold, bitcoin is used as a currency but at the same time bitcoin price is still volatile whereas gold is more stable in comparison.

[noorman0]

Bitcoin is a self-custodial entity where you can hold the units. In contrast to digital gold, reserves are only kept by the party issuing the gold securities. You are not allowed to withdraw it from their vaults, and the issuer of the security could be another risk factor in addition to the inherent volatility of physical gold.

I'm glad you got my point because I wasn't sure i was able to present my opinion properly  and there was a time I also advised a friend when he seeked my opinion on diversifying his investment and I simply told him not to try to get into alts but rather gold even physical gold in form of jewelries isn't a bad idea because you can stay in fashion while investing.
Most times people always want to compare rather than alight and these comparisons are the reasons why it seems pressure is been mount on bitcoin and price predictions is getting too much.

Remember expectations leads to disappointment and bitcoin will always break your heart if you keep predicting price.
If you can own both gold and bitcoin, that's perfect, go for them rather than competing them.

[EL MOHA]

Both of them are great stores of value with just little advantages they poses over each other. If one is rich and easily doesn’t want a very volatile asset then they will settle for gold. As for bitcoin I so much admire it because it doesn’t need much amount to get invested into even a 10$ purchase can be done and also it is easily accessible than physical gold which is not just sold anyhow but bitcoin can be bought from the comfort of your home through exchanges.

The risk is bitcoin can easily be lost with just a misplaced seed phrase or compromised wallet which cannot be done to Physical gold. Also Gold itself seems hard to save because the more you have it, the larger the place needed to store it, and this will only expose one to potential thieves. But one can have million of bitcoin store in just a small hardware wallet without it raising an eyebrow except the owner discuss its content with people

[rachael9385]

However, both gold as mentioned and Bitcoin are good stores of value, but I can say that gold has already gained the mind of everyone in the world (people trust it more than they trusted Bitcoin). Governments allow gold to be used in their countries, but not all governments permit the usage of Bitcoin in their countries, which is to say Bitcoin hasn't stayed up to 30 to 40 years in the world for it to be compared to gold, because of the value of it.

Bitcoin is a great store of value and it can also be used for payment methods in various businesses, mostly online businesses and offline businesses, but at the same time, if bitcoin is not used properly, it can be lost and never returned.

[EarnOnVictor]

Your comparison of Bitcoin with gold is so awkward, I see no reason for it, especially when you don't have a good explanation to back your claims. Bitcoin has its good side, and so is Gold, it all depends on the investor to choose the one to invest in the two of them or better still distribute the money in both.

Still, the anonymity/privacy and the ability to make more money in Bitcoin for Hodlers are the only advantages I see in it over Gold. But for others ranging from age, feasibility, asset backing, reliability, dependability, market capitalization and others, Gold has it.

I hope we just continue to invest in our choice or both and stop comparing.

[palle11]

Time is very uncertain now so whatever could happen, your survival depends on how much investment and the kind of investment you have. Gold can be paid to someone who doesn't understand BTC.

It is looking like our survival and comfort is going to also have a connection to how much we know of the internet as the time go by. The knowledge of the internet is increasing and every thing physical is having virtual version. People talk about gold because of store of value, how long it has existed, even as old as life based on its formation. Bitcoin also has that same quality but only existed in a short time. So the question is at what form are gold paid to those who don't understand bitcoin? Also virtual I guess. So I believe bitcoin will be far more valued than Gold because it has the virtual digital marketing that will far more embrace more people. However, the major challenge bitcoin has is adoption and that is its original decentralised nature.

[bettercrypto]

Literally speaking, gold has existed for thousands of years compared to Bitcoin; it's like BTC is actually a baby. But even in the short period of its existence, Bitcoin has become popular all over the world. And what's even more cruel here is that Bitcoin is even surpassing the price value of gold.

Which, if we look at it, is too far for 1500 to 27500 dollars, right? Then is it adopted by big companies? Can it be used in any form of business, no choice of business, as long as it is accepted as one of the option payments? Therefore, the number of investors who believe in and trust Bitcoin is increasing even more.

[Kakmakr]

I think both of them have their advantages and disadvantage....

1. Bitcoin is decentralized (So there is not a single point of failure, in the event of an attack)
2. Digital Gold is centralized, so it is a good target for hackers and/or war mongers.
3. Bitcoin have a fixed supply (This cannot be changed without consensus)
4. Gold supply is unknown and Gold audits are not verified by independent entities. (Do they test every Gold bar in every vault?)
5. Most countries accept Gold and it's legal... some countries banned Bitcoin.

In any way..... both of them are perceived as a good store of value.... and that is all that matters.  

[bluebit25]

Feel quite confused by the comparison between Bitcoin and Gold, this has been discussed in many places but I feel that with the current context of Bitcoin's development there is no need to draw attention through this. Basically both are good assets when looking at investment, it's like someone forcing you to choose between your left eye and your right eye to see which eye is better (the economy will have many eyes different ) .
It can be speculated that the future of digitalization will explode in everything in life, and choosing Bitcoin or Gold has its own benefits and risks. However, I personally like Bitcoin more so the portfolio I like will have more bitcoin than gold.

[Hatchy]

That is a weird comparison in your title.

I also got confused about the title. Bitcoin, sometimes called digital gold, has unique properties that set it apart from physical gold. Gold is a tangible asset that can be purchased, and its price tends to be less volatile compared to Bitcoin. On the other hand, Bitcoin's price is more volatile due to its limited supply of approximately 21 million coins. Both are considered stores of value, and your choice to invest in either depends on your personal preferences. However, I suggest editing the title because gold is not a digital asset, whereas Bitcoin is, and it can be referred to as digital gold. It seems op didn't take his time to read through his link and maybe if he did, he could have made adjustments to the title to better match the topic.

[Jatiluhung]

If it is compared to gold digitally then I agree that Bitcoin is much better. At least I can store my bitcoins safely in my hard wallet. But if we talk about comparing physical Gold and Bitcoin then I think physical Gold is still much better. Because apart from its stable price and being suitable for storing value, physical gold also has uses that have become something that cannot be separated from our lives in various fields. From development, military, medical, electronics and even beauty, everything involves the use of gold.

But since this is only limited to digital gold, I agree with the OP. But still both are the best choices compared to other choices in digital assets.

And more clearly, physical Gold is the best in the physical world and Bitcoin is the best in the digital world. I often hear this word and I agree with these words. Because both have advantages in their respective places.

Why you need t compare it? If you could just invest on both assets then be it. Because if you just do that to hate other option and want to stick with bitcoins then maybe you would provably miss some other option that can possibly give you a profit. But if you are bitcoin maximalist type of guy then maybe you hate the idea of other than bitcoin then this is good for you already. But for sure many would agree if you think that bitcoin is more better with the option you compare since you are in bitcoin forum. For sure there's a lot of people will say about that this is good rather than digital gold you mentioned. But for me if there's a chance that I can grab both then would provably have since multiple investment is best rather sticking on single investment only.

[Dr.Osh]

Well, even though bitcoin and gold are both types of investment, I think comparing the two is quite difficult. If you want to compare bitcoin, then look for investments that have digital properties, and if you want to compare gold, then look for investments that have other physical properties. that would probably be fairer.
However, in this case, I would probably be inclined to choose gold. that's because gold is an investment that is not affected by inflation and has been proven to last from year to year, while bitcoin is a new type of investment that is not hundreds of years old. It's just that, I'm more inclined to use bitcoin for now, and haven't focused on gold. I will probably focus on gold when I have successfully utilized bitcoin, as well as gaining financial freedom.

[Litzki1990]

Gold and Bitcoin are different, there is a lot of demand for gold worldwide. People of every country in the world are generally attracted to gold. People use gold to fulfill their desires or hobbies. But very few people choose gold as an investment. The price of gold is not very variable and its value does not increase much in every year interval but different for people who don't feel safe keeping money in bank and they buy gold only as savings but bitcoin is much better than gold for investment. The price of Bitcoin is changing every moment and if you invest in Bitcoin with a large amount of money and if that investment can be held for a long time, then you can make several times more money than holding gold. Bitcoin is always the best currency to invest.

[Bitcoin_people]

Gold is overvalued at current prices, but at one time Bitcoin surpassed gold. Although volatility works in the Bitcoin market, the price of Bitcoin is always on the upswing. However, the price of Bitcoin is very low at the moment due to which the price of gold is currently high, but we expect that Bitcoin will outperform the price of gold. As we have a bull market ahead, Bitcoin will double the price of gold when it becomes ATH again. Moreover, there are many stories of Bitcoin being double the price of gold because Bitcoin is a digital currency. This digital currency cannot be controlled by anyone and has a fixed supply, which is why the demand for Bitcoin will increase as its popularity increases. But the value of gold will not catch up with Bitcoin because gold has been a natural resource since ancient times. But people are currently more psyched about cryptocurrencies than gold, and investing in Bitcoin can make more money than gold. And that's why Bitcoin has become more preferred by people nowadays, and people are always more interested to invest in Bitcoin.

And that only shows that Bitcoin is still not yet on that peak whilst gold was already in there. I don't own gold so I don't have an idea on how huge the market of it and not for now that I'll get into it as I want to be focused first with Bitcoin. But with your title, most people are thinking that Bitcoin is actually the digital gold. So, you can remove that word 'digital' if the thread is all about comparison of Bitcoin and gold. We've got a lot of discussions about it already in the past and since you're in a Bitcoin forum, obviously everyone is going to say good things about Bitcoin and how optimistic we are. The potential of Bitcoin can be seen with that comparison of gold's market cap and itself.

When this becomes more clearly visible and can be felt by many people, new people who don't have Bitcoin and already have gold should be able to take this opportunity as their new choice for storing value and also for making profits. Because Bitcoin is not only suitable for storing the value of everyone's assets, but is also suitable for investment with better profit targets, so this is what differentiates physical gold from Bitcoin on the exchange.

Currently, I am still quite interested in these two assets because in my place physical gold is still seen as a precious metal with a very stable price on the market, which makes everyone still quite confident in storing value in physical gold. But on the other hand, I also like Bitcoin as a very good investment for the long term which is not only suitable for storing value, but also for increasing the value of everyone's assets.

[Lida93]

Government's of the the world have their national reserve in gold not in bitcoin and this delivers an explicit message that the trust gold have earned over the centuries bitcoin do not come close.

Both are valuable assets and have their advantageous features and if I can afford having gold and bitcoin as assets as part of diversified investments I will not hesitate in applying that. Better to take advantage offered from the assets rather than dwelling on their comparison.

I am a bitcoin maximalist but if am to be honest  I can't say with all certainty that bitcoin will still be here in the next 100 years (not until it gets to that time) but not for gold and that's what makes the comparison not worth it.

As far as I know, the total capitalization of the gold market is more than 10 trillion dollars, which is many times larger than the capitalization of bitcoin and even many times larger than the entire cryptocurrency industry. Gold has achieved huge success and those who invested in gold in the early stages also reaped huge profits. Gold has reached its peak and become safe, so when it comes to profitability, gold will appear weaker than new assets like bitcoin. Meanwhile, bitcoin is still very small compared to gold or other traditional assets, so we are willing to accept risks to invest in bitcoin in the hope of gaining huge profits from it.

Government's of the the world have their national reserve in gold not in bitcoin and this delivers an explicit message that the trust gold have earned over the centuries bitcoin do not come close...

Well, we know how hard can be to store and hold gold. And if you let the "third party" do that for you, then you are at their mercy. One day they can just say "fuck-off" and not let you use your gold, I think we already have examples of that around the world. That can't happen with your Bitcoins, if you remember "12 words" you are the only one who has control over your funds.

I guess that "trust in gold" is dying slowly, it's like some "glory from the old days"... I am not into gold and I don't care about it at all, and I will say that new generations are more into digital things, and they know that "freedom" is not "freedom" if someone can control everything you do with your money, read banks and regulations.

I am more particular with diversification of investment about the two assets bitcoin and gold. Let's keep sentiment aside, a good businessman won't go all digital with his investment he/she will also diversify into real life tangible assets like gold or real estate no matter how conventional digital assets like bitcoin is taking a center stage at the moment. When we diversify investments we reduce our risks.

I don't know how you mean by the trust in gold is dieing as long as I know there are still innumerable investors that still holding on to gold as part of their investment portfolio's. For the fact that we're going digital wouldn't make gold worthless and except you planned on having a fleet of gold bars that's when you might have difficulty in storing, therefore handing it over to a third-party custody becomes your next line of action.

[Rupok]

Bitcoin will be more preferred than gold among investors.  For those who don't know about BTC, gold would be better.  Investing in bitcoins does not require a large amount of money. However, bitcoins can be lost easily and have risks, but gold is safer.  Although Bitcoin and gold are both investments and both have their uses.  Among those who do not like to take risk, many people think of investing in gold, because there is no risk involved in investing in gold.

BTC became a store of value because of its ability to fight inflation. Gold can do the same thing but its price is not as volatile as bitcoin which makes it less profitable than bitcoin historically. If it was better than gold then why don't all the gold investors come to bitcoin right away? Bitcoin gives the world the impression that in every bull cycle it gives multiple X profits which gold doesn't. So those who believe it will do the same in the future and invest in bitcoin. Also bitcoin can work as a store of value so it's a double game for them. Bitcoin is performing better than gold so as long as it can continue doing that i have no problem keeping my savings in bitcoin. 

[bayu7adi]

I haven't gained confidence in the existence of digital gold. While some services claim that digital gold represents real gold, I find it hard to believe. In some cases, digital gold is merely a numerical representation and may not be physically connected because most companies managing such investments are centralized. It's not inconceivable that the money used to purchase digital gold could be used by brokers for other investments. It's like having an investment within an investment, and I can't trust that.

If you want to buy gold, buy real gold with official documentation. And if you prefer something less tangible, Bitcoin is indeed a wiser choice than digital gold. So far, Bitcoin's potential for a bull run during the halving cycle has been rumored, but nothing can guarantee it will actually happen. Such speculations can still go awry. Moreover, no one is obliged to buy Bitcoin.

[_BlackStar]

So far I might be able to compare gold and bitcoin - but only in the context of their performance. Bitcoin has proven itself to be the best performing asset since its introduction to the world - but gold is certainly still unbeatable in terms of adoption and use cases because gold has been around for a long time. I agree that gold is a good hedge to consider - but bitcoin can also be a hedge although its price volatility tends to be greater than gold.

I own gold and also own bitcoin as an investment - but I never considered digital gold as an investment. Physical gold is a better choice in my opinion - but I agree digital gold is not better than bitcoin.

[jeha2015]

Bitcoin has no basis and is empty, while gold has a basis, history and can be accepted as legal tender. It is possible that gold will last forever as a transaction tool, both digital and manual.

So Gold is real money.
Bitcoin is the fake money of the future that will become part of our lives in this century.
When Bitcoin ends. maybe we are no longer in this world (dead).

However, it cannot be denied that gold and Bitcoin are hedging or protecting value from inflation which continues to rise.

Yes, if I see that most people prefer gold over bitcoin, according to them gold is much more stable than bitcoin. Usually people don't understand what the concept of Bitcoin is, indeed the price of Bitcoin is very volatile. And it helps most of the people who are afraid to have it. Until now, bitcoin is still a fairly speculative asset compared to gold, in my personal opinion this is actually very normal, because gold has been around for a long time and has managed to survive the crisis, while bitcoin is relatively new and still needs time to be known thoroughly or better. adoption in various aspects of life.

Better is a subjective word, if you bring a representative from Gold to defend gold as an asset and Bitcoin representative to defend bitcoin as an asset, they both going to say a lot to defend what they stand for, they will do so in a way that pros and con of the opposite is what they will say.

From my own perspective, bitcoin is digital and gold is physical, the first one is new money that is fighting to be accepted while the second one is already accepted, I don't know if there is a particular place in the world where gold is rejected or ban, every country use it but bitcoin still fight for acceptance because they gear it's features.

[kingvirtus09]

In terms of digital, I prefer Bitcoin. At the same time, Bitcoin was a proven and tested digital investment that, for 14 years, did not show failure to all long-term investors who believed in it.

Because Bitcoin has proven that for many years that have passed, besides the popularity that has been happening around the world today, its price value has not dropped since it was created in this industry. If you look at just starting at 0.05 or 0.2 dollars each now, it's far from its present value now at 27400 dollars each.

OK, I will follow you... did you diversify and do you have investments in crypto and gold? And if you diversified how much you have in crypto and how much you have in gold?

Let's keep sentiment aside and let's be open here... I don't have any gold, but I have some crypto! I chose the side, and I will not diversify in gold or some fiat, I can diversify by owning different coins, and I am doing that. I am not sure why you mention real estate, to get into some you need a big bankroll, many people can just dream about buying one. It's easy to talk, but it's hard to get into it.

So, you can try to sit on two chairs... and that can pay off one day, or not... we will see.

[Mate2237]

That is true. Gold is as old as the world itself. And bitcoin is just 14 years old and that is,it is a still a child who just enter it teenage years. But gold is for the upper class and not for everyone but bitcoin is for the poor and anyone who can use it, can invest in it. I think many people who are investing in bitcoin are also investing in Bitcoin as well. The price of gold cannot influence and convince the pro bitcoin users in the forum and outside the forum.

But authorities prefer gold to bitcoin because they Gold the activities of Gold and can't do the same with bitcoin so they shun bitcoin to gold.

OK, I will follow you... did you diversify and do you have investments in crypto and gold? And if you diversified how much you have in crypto and how much you have in gold?

Let's keep sentiment aside and let's be open here... I don't have any gold, but I have some crypto! I chose the side, and I will not diversify in gold or some fiat, I can diversify by owning different coins, and I am doing that. I am not sure why you mention real estate, to get into some you need a big bankroll, many people can just dream about buying one. It's easy to talk, but it's hard to get into it.

So, you can try to sit on two chairs... and that can pay off one day, or not... we will see.

You and I should know better that it will be very wrong of me to bring my private life in public especially as it concerns money. And the rationale is simple "security", it's not safe providing such details and I'll advise you don't do same anywhere just in case.

It is okay you're diversifying in other cryptocurrency other than BTC in expectation that you know what you're doing.  It's better and less risky to sit on two than one.

[Furious 7]

They all have their own markets and targets. Actually, things like this have been discussed several times and indeed the pattern is still the same when we discuss comparisons then it will not be finished to determine which is the best whether gold or bitcoin or other comparisons which I always read in several different threads such as comparisons of Obligation, real estate or crypto.
Things like this if it continues to be compared then it will not get a meeting point because all views are separate and I think everyone has their own freedom to determine which is the best whether it is bitcoin or other investments.
When we are in one investment, for example in bitcoin, it does not mean that other investments such as gold, stocks, Obligation or real estate are bad so there is no need to make any comparisons because discussions like this will never end until whenever.

[GeorgeJohn]

If looked at it from recent comparison bitcoin is more better than gold, because right now bitcoin can be classified as a a store value and its refer as an asset, so therefore bitcoin is an asset and it has more popularity and influence more than gold as you say, I believe that bitcoin is something you may invest on without having that much fear of varnishing, so therefore I believe that bitcoin is still gaining more popularity than gold, and currently people are seeing gold as ancient kind of digital currency and it doesn't yield more value since introduction and adoption of bitcoin.

[tabas]

And that only shows that Bitcoin is still not yet on that peak whilst gold was already in there. I don't own gold so I don't have an idea on how huge the market of it and not for now that I'll get into it as I want to be focused first with Bitcoin. But with your title, most people are thinking that Bitcoin is actually the digital gold. So, you can remove that word 'digital' if the thread is all about comparison of Bitcoin and gold. We've got a lot of discussions about it already in the past and since you're in a Bitcoin forum, obviously everyone is going to say good things about Bitcoin and how optimistic we are. The potential of Bitcoin can be seen with that comparison of gold's market cap and itself.

As far as I know, the total capitalization of the gold market is more than 10 trillion dollars, which is many times larger than the capitalization of bitcoin and even many times larger than the entire cryptocurrency industry. Gold has achieved huge success and those who invested in gold in the early stages also reaped huge profits. Gold has reached its peak and become safe, so when it comes to profitability, gold will appear weaker than new assets like bitcoin.

It's because gold has been there since the ancient times. While Bitcoin has been there just since 2009. There's a huge discrepancy of their existence and that's why the potential of Bitcoin if we're going to compare it with gold is endless.

Meanwhile, bitcoin is still very small compared to gold or other traditional assets, so we are willing to accept risks to invest in bitcoin in the hope of gaining huge profits from it.

For the conservative type of investors, they can choose to have gold and invest at the same time on Bitcoin. But to the ones that are taking more risks and understands more Bitcoin, it's easy what to choose and it's about choosing Bitcoin because we've seen what's on its history and the past cycles are encouraging. And for the experienced investors, we all do know where Bitcoin is heading.

I agree with what you said because when looking at this time with all the freedom in our own hands then indeed we are free to do whatever we want including in investment issues so with several options that exist today it is good to see comparisons from several aspects but on the other hand both gold and bitcoin they have their own advantages and weak sides so we don't have to compare to the extreme and consider one of them bad.
If indeed we are able to be in both it is very good if you like but if you only want to be in one then that is your right in deciding without having to look down on one of the two because both bitcoin and gold are both valuable in the eyes of their respective fans.

[Zigabel]

Bitcoin may be preferred for you (OP) as a person with good crypto knowledge you definitely would want to invest on Bitcoin because it's value system is not deflative and it's good for a short term investment as it got some good level of volatility which could turn out profitable and some times may run into a few losses which will definitely be recovered if patient enough.

Gold is more stable and some how safer for the long term as it doesn't experience volatility too often and retains value over a longer period of time, it also serves as a reserve for value and that's why most governments and billionaire would prefer investing in it as they have a physical and also digital value. Lastly it's important to know Bitcoin and Gold are never bear like Fiat.

[blue Snow]

The connection between gold and bitcoin (BTC) as stores of value is obvious, and the demand for BTC as a digital store of value was a big reason why the cryptocurrency grew in popularity, crypto services provider Matrixport said in a report Monday.
Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $540 billion, equivalent to 10.8% of the market cap of physical financial gold, Matrixport said, adding that gold exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) are valued at $200 billion. Read

Bitcoin is one asset that can be easy to invest for everyone. this is different from gold where we must go to offline stores to buy it and quite complicated if gold have to buy is still indent and waiting for supplies from the supplier. before knowing bitcoin, I used gold as my investment, I set aside my salary to buy 1 gram of gold every month at past. But, because the profit is not much when I compare it with bitcoin, then I stopped it and moved to bitcoin. in fact, apart from being easy to buy and sell, bitcoin also easy to carry to every where when we move to another place, it's different when we have gold, it would be troublesome if you had 1 kilo gold and have move it to another place.

You are right, if you want to buy gold, you have to go to the market and buy it from the store, and you have to face various problems. But you don't need to go to any market to buy Bitcoin, you can buy it from home. Storing gold can be a hassle, but bitcoins are easy to store in a good wallet. People who are aware of Bitcoin in present time will definitely prefer Bitcoin over gold. Besides, if you invest in gold, you cannot expect much profit. Investing in gold is good, but not good for people investing with small capital. Those with little capital find it best to invest in their Bitcoins. Investing in Bitcoin is risky but can expect high profits.

[Sebas.tian]

I have tested Gold and Bitcoin before that made me to know that Bitcoin is more profitable than gold, because the longer you hold your Bitcoin will determine the huge amount of income you will make when the price increase higher, but it will be difficult to achieve such income from gold investment no matter how long you hold it. Bitcoin is more secure and safe in the process of transaction which many users has testified in the community that made many investors to quit their gold investment to Join Bitcoin investment base on some of the evidence they saw during the bullish season. I believe, you will make Bitcoin your favorite coin that you will always save your money to be part of those that will earn from their savings in the future.

[Fuso.hp]

If you ask someone who knows about bitcoins which investment is more profitable between gold and bitcoin, I think the person will answer without a second thought investment in bitcoin. On the other hand if a person who has no idea about Bitcoin is asked he will say gold is very valuable and I will always prefer to buy gold. 
A person who knows about a subject, if asked to speak about that subject, will say enough, but if ever asked about a simple subject, but about which he does not know, he will find the subject very difficult. 

If a person who does not know diamonds picks up a diamond, he will dismiss it as an ordinary stone, 
So it seems to me that Bitcoin is valuable to those who have a fair understanding of Bitcoin but gold is valuable to those who have no idea about Bitcoin.

[naira]

Both Bitcoin and gold are better than fiat in my opinion. You should use the Fiat as a comparison option. Instead of using the expression "digital gold" which is no longer real gold. Don't be easily fooled by silly things, gold is a physical form and it is better to remain in a physical form. Bitcoin was designed from the start as a digital asset with a clear algorithm that cannot be changed, its supply cannot be increased or decreased from the initial yield and the final yield of 21 million BTC is simply reduced by the number of holders who have lost their keys or died.

I am more particular with diversification of investment about the two assets bitcoin and gold. Let's keep sentiment aside, a good businessman won't go all digital with his investment he/she will also diversify into real life tangible assets like gold or real estate no matter how conventional digital assets like bitcoin is taking a center stage at the moment. When we diversify investments we reduce our risks.

I don't know how you mean by the trust in gold is dieing as long as I know there are still innumerable investors that still holding on to gold as part of their investment portfolio's. For the fact that we're going digital wouldn't make gold worthless and except you planned on having a fleet of gold bars that's when you might have difficulty in storing, therefore handing it over to a third-party custody becomes your next line of action.

Let's keep sentiment aside and let's be realistic... how much money do we need to invest in real estate? Do you have some real estate investments? It's easy to talk about these things, but in reality, you need to be really rich to afford some real estate, especially if we are aming a property on some good location.

Well, I don't have gold bars... and never will have them. One of the reasons is because I don't wish to hand them over to a third-party. Not your keys, not your gold! Slowly, but steady, people are starting to realize that, and as time goes by, crypto will gain more and more importance, while precious metals will remain just that, precious metals.

I totally disagree with your words because if a person wants to invest in Bitcoin then he can do it even if he doesn't have complete knowledge about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a good way to invest for long term which can give good profit. But if he has a complete knowledge of crypto, he will become an expert in anything. For example: investment, trade, altcoin investment etc. But one thing must always be remembered, there is always risk in the crypto market. No matter where you invest, be it Bitcoin or altcoin, there will always be risks. But now the price of Bitcoin is low according to the rate of gold and Bitcoin. Although gold may not give much profit to people but it is a precious metal. So it is better to invest in Bitcoin.

Here Matrixport has its own interest, they have financial services and possible Bitcoin ETFs mean more traffic for them. Hence they would always propagate the idea. Its a good thing that ETFs can come in the US market, I do expect such moves in many other countries too even if some have put up unnatural taxation on crypto capital gains. With ETFs a market can be made secondary to the actual crypto market and it will generate more interest in crypto and possibility of buying crypto for long term value.

Here gold and crypto are not comparable, I have said this in many previous threads. Both have pros and cons and to be a diligent investor you need both along with many other classes of assets.

But if I had to choose, I would probably choose bitcoin instead of gold because gold only has the effect of storing value and cannot bring us significant profits because it has become stable. Meanwhile, bitcoin can both be a long-term store of value and can bring us significant profits because of its potential. But fortunately we don't have to choose and can use both to ensure the safety of our assets. If someone has a lot of money and wants to diversify for safety, gold and bitcoin should be the top choices.

[BitcoinTurk]

Apparently I see no reason for comparison as they’re both good store of value and most times if they are possibilities of you owning them both, then I would advice that you go for it rather than wanting to compare them.
Bitcoin is still very new as compared to gos who has been in the market for a very long time and despite bitcoin infancy, it still has good future but very volatile while gold be it digital or physical gold isn’t that volatile and if I’m asked to choose between them both, then I might get to choose gold if maybe I have huge funds and scared of volatility but since I already know the risk associated with bitcoin, and if I could afford one bitcoin, I would simply dump the money in bitcoin
What I’m trying to say in essence is that, bitcoin is the future especially if you understand the risk.

Unfortunately, I don't agree with the idea that it is necessary to have both financial assets in order to make a comparison because if an investment is to be made by choosing only one of them, both of them should be compared before making this investment. Although Bitcoin is a newer financial instrument compared to gold, it has a much more manipulative structure which is actually an advantage for investors who want to achieve high returns in the risk/reward ratio. Gold, on the other hand, is a financial instrument that has been present in our lives and financial markets for a very long time and has a much lower probability of being manipulated.

So, in short, Bitcoin is preferred by investors who don't have very high amount of capital and have a high risk/reward threshold while gold is an ideal financial instrument for investors with high capital but low risk/reward threshold who want to obtain a more guaranteed profit. Gold is known as the "safe haven" in financial markets, and Bitcoin is the most reliable and directional of cryptocurrencies. For this reason, many people compare Bitcoin to "Digital Gold".

That's true but back to our goals, if we just want to save then it's better to use gold but if we want to invest for big profits of course Bitcoin is the right choice, but again everything has possibilities and risks and both will be comparable.
Personally, for me who has known Bitcoin for a long time and believes in it, of course I will choose the same as you, but that doesn't apply to everyone because not everyone believes in Bitcoin's future will make them profit.

I don't know why I despise ETFs, but I think it's because they are anti-decentralization because why trade ETF funds when you can get a hold of the original asset? Returning to the topic at hand, Bitcoin and digital gold have nothing in common in terms of price, total circulation, blockchain and security, privacy, pseudonymity, and decentralisation; does gold have something similar? Is there something similar to Bitcoin in the digital goal? I don't think there is any comparison that makes gold any way better than bitcoin and that market cap is nothing.

If Bitcoin was to be accepted as a digital assets, signed pass by all the top countries, do you think gold total market cap is going to be more than Bitcoin. It took gold years and years to reach this value but I bet you that it will only take 5 years max for bitcoin to pass that price in a matter of time, that's how valuable bitcoin is to gold, hope you understand now.

Aren't your dislike of ETFs and optimism in Bitcoin's future over gold obvious? ETFs seem anti-decentralization, yet they offer typical investors accessibility and diversity, right? You can obtain a piece of the pie without buying the whole dessert. When comparing Bitcoin to gold, it gets complicated, no?

Bitcoin's digital character, blockchain security, and finite supply make it unique in finance. It is new, thrilling, and presenting economic prospects that are changing our world. Does that devalue gold, a store of value for millennia? Can we ignore the stability of a long-standing asset?

Bitcoin's market cap could overtake gold if it becomes universally accepted. Can't gold's tangible and historical steadiness give it worth that Bitcoin's youth and volatility don't? The financial argument of the ages, right? Tradition vs. digital, stability vs. promise. Both have pros and cons, but maybe they may coexist and provide investors distinct value. You think?

Bitcoin has only been around for 14 years since it was first created, while people have trusted gold for thousands of years, so comparing the market capitalization of these two assets is unfair to Bitcoin. However, if you look at its price movements, bitcoin provides much higher profits than gold. Even though the risks of holding bitcoin are greater than gold, bitcoin is sexier in the eyes of investors because it promises extraordinary profits

So I think bitcoin is more interesting than gold because bitcoin is still very young compared to gold but its value is very high. I believe bitcoin will become more valuable in the future if the trend is always positive

[dezoel]

I'm not a fan of physical assets or things made digital just like digital gold when gold basically has a physical existence, I would like it more to simply buy and keep physical gold than buy digital gold. However, if we are to compare Bitcoin with Gold in general, I would say that both have their pros and cons but both are good to be bought and kept for the long-term. If I'm asked the question about which one I would choose, I'd say it depends on what I'm looking for.

If I'm looking for high profits in a relatively shorter period of time and I'm ready to take risks, I would go with Bitcoin obviously because it is more volatile than Gold and it can give you better returns for a shorter term. But if I'm looking for stable profits and time isn't a problem, Gold is the option since it doesn't lose value very quickly and it usually keeps going up but just at a much slower pace.

[tjtonmoy]

Gold is gold, Bitcoin is Bitcoin. There aren't any logical comparison between them. Both of them are good in their own way. Both are the best for store of value. But depending on your choice you can choose either of them. Take enthusiastic person could choose Bitcoin as the store of value. On the other hand, someone wants the classical, then they can go for gold all digital gold.
But I don't see any problem one owning both of them. Why not have the best of the both worlds? Bitcoin is relatively new to gold. So many people may have issue trusting Bitcoin over gold. And there are market moves in different ways. One is slow and steady and other is volatile.
But when it comes to digital gold, the security, the freedom, and decentralized option that comes with Bitcoin is not there. If you on physical gold then that's okay but I don't think choosing digital gold over Bitcoin is a good idea. I don't want to be biased about this. Both are useful if you know how to use them and how to keep them safe.

[retreat]

For a long time, people have always debated which is better, gold or bitcoin, some say bitcoin is better, some say gold is better. But for me personally, be it gold or bitcoin, both are instruments that cannot be compared because they each have their own advantages and disadvantages. If someone has a preference for an instrument with a good ROI, they can choose Bitcoin, but it is not very stable. If they choose gold, they can get a stable instrument but the ROI offered is not as good as bitcoin. And there are many other reasons. And therefore there is no point in comparing these two instruments.

The value of bitcoin is difficult to overestimate, because it is a breakthrough of its time. But the fact is that the recent ordinals protocol has shown how weak bitcoin is and how much it needs to evolve to modern alikoins with high speed. In a word, this blockchain is outdated, but nevertheless, I believe that bitcoin will always be relevant even after many years, as the first cryptocurrency.
Like a rarity.

I want to add that I always have a certain percentage of bitcoin in my portfolio, and I believe that everyone should have it.

[MFahad]

Even if we compare these two assets thousands of times, gold is still the asset that the whole world trusts and uses, while bitcoin is a fairly new asset and is considered riskier. I also don't understand why so many people like to compare these two assets when no one forces us to choose just one of them. Why don't we choose both and diversify our assets? Or choose according to each person's needs.

OP, if bitcoin is truly better than gold, why do thousands of billionaires, millionaires, rich people and all governments accumulate and hold instead of bitcoin? We can compare, but let's be realistic because both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Actually gold is a consider more precious than anything from past therefore nothing can take place of it. I agreed that bitcoin is also providing passive income to lots of people but popularity of gold is more than bitcoin.

This is also true that everyone can think for himself better so we should not compare one thing with other because some will have gain benefit from gold while other will find bitcoin as more beneficial asset therefore its your own choice to select one of these or both. Nothing is bad to select both these asset for investment and I will say that people share their views because the thing which they feel better and profitable then they prefer that thing.

Remember that gold has its own place and nothing can replace it but it depends on a person to choose it or not but the fact is that both are beneficial and we cannot think negatively about any one of them

[Unbunplease]

The main advantage of bitcoin over gold is that it is known exactly how many total coins exist and how many coins are in circulation. In addition, all transactions can be tracked. The advantage of gold is that it can be used even where there is no internet. In addition, gold transactions are less transparent

It cannot be denied that the increase in the value of bitcoin and gold assets has given rise to a long debate regarding which is better as a storage and hedge. But for me Bitcoin is the best for now.

Gold is not liquid! It's a hassle to sell gold and waste time sending it back for money. If I wanted, I could sell or transfer Bitcoins in minutes across the country or around the world! Bitcoin is better than holding gold.

Both has their pros and cons and whatever works for you perfectly choose it. But majority of us here would agree that having both is like having the best investment of all time and the best investment of the future.
So, having it combined will give you the advantage that you won't miss beacuse you're owning the best of the best. Still if I have to choose, no doubt that I'll choose bitcoin than gold.

[Captain Corporate]

This is exactly why I believe that bitcoin can be 500k per coin. It deserves to be around those levels to provide some sort of leverage against gold. Gold is something physical, even though a lot of people use it digitally to move money around, its still gold and something physical and you are just changing something physical digitally, yet the item itself doesn't change shape. Bitcoin has always been digital, its never physical, you can still print it on paper if you really want to, but to spend it you need to cash it out online, so its always digital. When you can spend bitcoin to buy something online, you can't do that with gold and that difference is GIGANTIC and people should respect how bitcoin could be bigger one day.

When you can spend bitcoin to buy something online, you can't do that with gold and that difference is GIGANTIC and people should respect how bitcoin could be bigger one day.

We all want and hope that Bitcoin will be like that in the future, but the question is, when will that happen? Will we still be alive when that happens or not? Then, if that happens, will we have some bitcoin to save that we can bequeath to our loved ones?

Then another thing, even though I would choose Bitcoin over gold, is digital. It's really far from Bitcoin; digital gold is far behind in terms of benefits; and when it comes to opportunity, digital gold is also far from Bitcoin. It wouldn't matter if I could touch the gold myself, but it's not like that because it's digital.

 but that doesn't apply to everyone because not everyone believes in Bitcoin's future will make them profit.

Everyone has different preferences so that's why I don't force anyone to invest in bitcoin or criticize someone if they stay loyal to gold and ignore bitcoin. Everyone has different views on life and investing, we should not impose our thoughts on others. Investing is to make profits so we will only look at the results to evaluate that person, no matter where they invest but if they have better profits than us then we are not qualified to criticize or teach them what to do. I find it quite funny that many bitcoin investors always criticize people who invest in gold and real estate, but they don't think that people who invest in gold and real estate are dozens of times richer than us. 

[Ayers]

This is exactly why I believe that bitcoin can be 500k per coin. It deserves to be around those levels to provide some sort of leverage against gold. Gold is something physical, even though a lot of people use it digitally to move money around, its still gold and something physical and you are just changing something physical digitally, yet the item itself doesn't change shape. Bitcoin has always been digital, its never physical, you can still print it on paper if you really want to, but to spend it you need to cash it out online, so its always digital.

It's really far from Bitcoin; digital gold is far behind in terms of benefits; and when it comes to opportunity, digital gold is also far from Bitcoin. It wouldn't matter if I could touch the gold myself, but it's not like that because it's digital.

You guys confuse me, what is digital gold? As far as I know, we only have physical gold, not digital gold, what are they? Furthermore, people also call bitcoin digital gold, meaning bitcoin will be as scarce and valuable as gold but in digital form. I have never heard of any asset being digital gold. If you are talking about the forex market and the XAU trading pair represents gold in the forex market then I would not consider it digital gold. We only have one gold asset, which is physical gold.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

The main advantage of bitcoin over gold is that it is known exactly how many total coins exist and how many coins are in circulation. In addition, all transactions can be tracked. The advantage of gold is that it can be used even where there is no internet. In addition, gold transactions are less transparent

Well, I would say that the main advantage for retail investors is that you don't have to pay a premium to buy low amounts. Practical advantage, I mean. When you look at the price of gold, that price is based on buying a tonne. When you buy a kilo, an ounce or a few grams, you always pay more than the price you see online. Obviously, the lower the weight of the gold you buy, the higher the premium. This does not happen with bitcoin, although in times of high fees, making low value transactions, the fees can be an important part of the transaction but nothing to do with the premium for gold.

[Out of mind]

Bitcoin will be more preferred than gold among investors.  For those who don't know about BTC, gold would be better.  Investing in bitcoins does not require a large amount of money. However, bitcoins can be lost easily and have risks, but gold is safer.  Although Bitcoin and gold are both investments and both have their uses.  Among those who do not like to take risk, many people think of investing in gold, because there is no risk involved in investing in gold.

We believe that both gold and bitcoin are well-liked investments in today's world. And people who are currently involved in cryptocurrency will always choose Bitcoin as their medium of choice for investment. People invest more in gold than bitcoin because it has no risk, but investing in bitcoin is risky because people are afraid to invest in BTC because market volatility can start anytime. But investing in Bitcoin can earn a lot of money which is not possible to earn so much by investing in gold. Because in today's world, this digital currency is a store of value due to which people are able to change their future and life with Bitcoin. Moreover, most people prefer the natural and tangible for which gold is invested, but those who are into cryptocurrencies trust Bitcoin more. Those of us who are with Bitcoin will definitely invest it in BTC if we get money to invest, because we prefer Bitcoin to gold.

Plus people are much aware of and acknowledge gold since we were already investing in gold in the past, which we still do in the current era. Bitcoin and gold are good investments they literally depend on the person's preferability and suitability of their knowledge as well as their skills. Keep in mind that Bitcoin's convenience since it's digital and can do transactions globally and the fact that it is decentralized. Since OP mentioned that gold is digital, if we research it, seems it like related to crypto, in short, it's like you are doing an investment similar to Bitcoin. The things that differ between the two the volatility and stability, well both actually rely on supply and demand, but Bitcoin is much more volatile people can take advantage of it and get profit, while gold is like to avoid inflation and would take months or years to increase it's value depends on the market where we can observe in Bitcoin but volatility included.

[Jawhead999]

Holding a digital gold isn't giving you full ownership because you need to trust the centralized party, so I don't think digital gold can be used to compare with Bitcoin which give you full ownership.

I think the best gold is a physical version where you don't need to worry whether you're really have gold or not, although you need to make sure you're hold it in the safest place.

[RockBell]

Even if we compare these two assets thousands of times, gold is still the asset that the whole world trusts and uses, while bitcoin is a fairly new asset and is considered riskier. I also don't understand why so many people like to compare these two assets when no one forces us to choose just one of them. Why don't we choose both and diversify our assets? Or choose according to each person's needs.

OP, if bitcoin is truly better than gold, why do thousands of billionaires, millionaires, rich people and all governments accumulate and hold instead of bitcoin? We can compare, but let's be realistic because both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Gold has been around for centuries and has been used as a symbol of prosperity in the past. If you have gold, you obviously have money. Gold has won people's confidence. Bitcoin only started around 2009, and people are just starting to accept it. There are people in some areas who don't know about Bitcoin but know about gold. When it comes to risk, bitcoin is riskier than gold because anything that is connected to the internet is vulnerable to risk. It is not even about forcing somebody to pick, but having something concrete, such as gold, is beneficial for now, I think both are good but gold is safer you can have both Bitcoin and gold.

i have also seen how merchants who enjoy in gold business are doing well because of its recognition and value I actually learned a lot from this topic the importance of having something physical as an asset a very good insight.

Actually gold is a consider more precious than anything from past therefore nothing can take place of it. I agreed that bitcoin is also providing passive income to lots of people but popularity of gold is more than bitcoin.

This is also true that everyone can think for himself better so we should not compare one thing with other because some will have gain benefit from gold while other will find bitcoin as more beneficial asset therefore its your own choice to select one of these or both. Nothing is bad to select both these asset for investment and I will say that people share their views because the thing which they feel better and profitable then they prefer that thing.

Remember that gold has its own place and nothing can replace it but it depends on a person to choose it or not but the fact is that both are beneficial and we cannot think negatively about any one of them

Gold is a wonderful asset, and its significance in finance is obvious. The nature of Bitcoin is that it has an unstable price and everyone will do what will benefit them if you want to go for Bitcoin it is good and if you want to go for gold it is better that is what I stated the option of what you invest in is in the person's hands, because people have benefitted from both. and I have experienced the benefits of Bitcoin, as well as the fact that having something solid as an asset is also gold as I said earlier I will still go for gold as having a physical asset and then still have my Bitcoin not to lose out of the game.

The advantage of gold is that it can be used even where there is no internet. In addition, gold transactions are less transparent

Although there are many differences between gold and bitcoin, they are very valuable. At present, if we can hold bitcoin alongside gold, it is very profitable for us and can bring us a lot of profit. Bitcoin price is going to be close to the price of gold. Both bitcoin and gold are valuable to me.  Wealth I think. So I am thinking of investing my money in them.

[davis196]

The connection between gold and bitcoin (BTC) as stores of value is obvious, and the demand for BTC as a digital store of value was a big reason why the cryptocurrency grew in popularity, crypto services provider Matrixport said in a report Monday.
Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $540 billion, equivalent to 10.8% of the market cap of physical financial gold, Matrixport said, adding that gold exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) are valued at $200 billion. Read

What connection? Both Bitcoin and Gold can be viewed as a store of value, but that doesn't make them connected.
Bitcoin value has grown over the years not because Bitcoin is a store of value, but because Bitcoin is a speculative asset. Gold isn't a speculative asset. The Gold investors don't buy gold because they expect that the Gold price is going to hit absurd levels. They buy gold in order to protect the value of their capital from various risks(inflation and market crashes). That's why gold was called a "safe heaven" asset.
 Bitcoin is being bought mostly because everyone is expecting a new bull wave and a new ATH price level.

Bitcoin price is going to be close to the price of gold. Both bitcoin and gold are valuable to me.  Wealth I think. So I am thinking of investing my money in them.

Gold is stable and the price is not too volatile so I would not consider investing in gold to bring in big profits. As Davis196 mentioned, people own gold to protect their capital value from various risks, no one expects to make huge profits by investing in gold. Meanwhile, bitcoin is an emerging asset with a lot of potential, although the risk will be higher than gold, the profits are also greater than gold. So it will depend on the needs of each investor which one we choose, gold for those who like safety and bitcoin for big profits.
I would choose bitcoin over diversifying with gold because I am willing to take risks for big profits.

[AicecreaME]

For me bitcoin is a lowkey investment that gives you a higher profit than gold in the long run.
Bitcoin is not that hard to keep rather than gold which could be stolen if you're not going to hide it somewhere in your house safe in a vault. Bitcoin is also easier to get than gold, less hassle for me as long as you know the process of buying, and of course as well as storing it.

[KiaKia]

There is nothing called digital gold and the only thing close to this is Bitcoin, I think it's better your fix your topic, because gold is physical in nature because we found them deep in the ground and seas, but we can't find Bitcoin the same way, because Bitcoin survives on the internet, this makes it suited to be called a digital gold.

I prefer to be in gold and Bitcoin because we can't deny that gold is one of the most valuable metals in the world and it existed even before Bitcoin, the market cap of gold is way bigger than Bitcoin but I doubt the result would be the same today if gold and Bitcoin existed from the beginning of time,  maybe Bitcoin would beat gold? But that's not possible anyway since Satoshi isn't an angel or a god.

I could remember some time ago when new projects coming up in the crypto space using real gold to receive investors, telling them that their company is backed by real gold and some claimed to have digital gold backed by real gold, I don't see any of these projects standing today, they all fade away.

[traderethereum]

However, if you discuss with most people out there, they will choose gold as a store of value rather than bitcoin because they have been using it for a long time and even their parents also recommend the same thing.
And to buy gold, there is a minimum weight limit so people have to save their money first before they can buy gold.
If they want to buy bitcoin, they don't need to save a lot of money first to buy it on an exchange or other place.
And we should not compare bitcoin and gold because they are two different things even though they have the same similarity, namely as a store of value.

Bitcoin is one of the strongest cryptocurrency and for that matter, it has helped so many people to get financial stability which digital golf might have not achieved so far. I will prefer to hold Bitcoin than anything like digital gold since it might not have the same value with Bitcoin which had been a very good utility project and life challenging opportunity so far. Bitcoin has so many benefits to us than the digital gold ranging from trading, staking, investing etc. Those who had been holding Bitcoin for a very long time cam attest to the huge profits they have made so far.

Actually I don't understand the main point here how bitcoin is better than digital gold because I thought bitcoin was always digital gold. I wouldn't really compare the two because I think Bitcoin is digital gold and as usual what we see is physical gold.
If we see that there is one thing in common between these two sources and that is that both of them are limited. Currently Bitcoin or crypto currency is not legal everywhere and very few people in the world know about it. So in this aspect gold will be ahead of bitcoin at present. But if we think about the future, then as the world of this crypto currency is spreading, very soon in the future investment in Bitcoin will be more spread, in this case, due to the increase in demand, its price will also increase.  And you don't have to face the trouble of physically storing it or physically securing it. And since global conflicts are happening all the time, I think Bitcoin is the best digital gold to build wealth in the virtual world.

[coolcoinz]

Actually gold is a consider more precious than anything from past therefore nothing can take place of it. I agreed that bitcoin is also providing passive income to lots of people but popularity of gold is more than bitcoin.

I'd argue that if bitcoin was around as long as gold it would be much more popular.
We really can't compare these things if people used one of them as money and store of value for centuries an and the other one is known for less than 15 years.

I see bitcoin as something better than gold. I wouldn't call it a better digital gold because we don't have digital gold yet, so I guess that's going a bit too far, but if we agree that bitcoin works as a store of value, it's better because it's easily divisible, while gold isn't. You have a piece worth $1k, you can't divide it between 2 people, but you can do it with bitcoin and you can do it the way that everybody will trust, since bitcoin is verifiable. Try to verify gold on your own and you'll see that it's not that easy.

[Egii Nna]

Because they are not the same, you cannot compare them. Gold is a real object, whereas bitcoin is a digital cryptocurrency. Only the wealthy have access to gold; otherwise, there is no reason why you would buy gold to keep as an asset when you are scrambling to get food. On the other hand, bitcoin is easy to get and can be used and started at any price that many individuals, especially young people, can afford. Like gold, you can even own a bitcoin without anyone knowing about it. People will find out if you own gold, which could put you in risk or leave you feeling unsafe in some areas.Additionally, selling bitcoin is stress-free and simple.

Bitcoin is significantly better than gold because I trust it more than gold, but in goal, you must see the purchasers carry the gold and sell, which is quite stressful.

i don't agree that only wealthy have access to gold though. just like bitcoin, you can buy gold in small amounts, like jewelries and store it. small pieces like gold bracelet, earrings or necklaces. even ordinary people can own such tangible asset. if you have the means, it is better to own both assets, btc and gold. with those gold jewelries, in case of financial need, you can easily pawn your asset with very small amount of interest.

[JeffBrad12]

investment wise bitcoin is better i mean you can see bitcoin going quite literally from just a few dollars to current price its already awesome enough that I don't think something like digital gold could ever get that much increase because if we are talking honestly gold only good to counter the inflation and thats it, it can't make you rich, it might increase your capital a little bit but that if the inflation isn't higher than the capital gain you get from investing in gold meanwhile if its bitcoin, to be frankly speaking, the increase alone is already massive.
the inflation is just miniscule in front of bitcoin massive gain in this decade, therefore its better investment in my opinion, of course someone would argue that digital gold might be safer from the massive volatility but at the end of the day, its depends on someone's choice to invest.

Everyone keeps talking about digital gold but I don't know what everyone is talking about, do we have digital gold? and bitcoin is not digital gold? Furthermore, people always say that bitcoin is better than gold, so how is it better? Frankly speaking, people who say bitcoin is better than gold just because they want bitcoin to bring them big profits, and have no second reason. If bitcoin becomes stable and no longer volatile to generate large returns, gold becomes volatile and generates large profits, will people still continue to hold the view that bitcoin is better than gold?

Bombshell effect: $4.5 trillion asset manager Fidelity recommends 43 million clients invest in bitcoin.
This news has sent shockwaves throughout the cryptocurrency community. Fidelity, which manages $4.5 trillion in assets, has recommended that its 43 million clients consider investing in bitcoin.

Fidelity's report presented accurate data demonstrating bitcoin's unprecedented safety compared to its peers. They noted that in terms of the computing power required to change the consensus of the network, bitcoin far outperforms any other competitors using proof-of-work.

Drawing a parallel to the world of technology, Fidelity compared bitcoin to the Internet's core TCP/IP protocol suite. They emphasized that owning bitcoin can be equated to a stake in the very basic layer of the Internet.

The higher the profit, the higher the risk, have you thought about that? There is no asset that will give you significant returns without any risk. Gold does not give you huge returns, it does not make you rich but it is considered a safe haven for your assets. Meanwhile, no one dares to confirm what the future of bitcoin will be like, whether it will grow stronger or suddenly disappear. So it's impossible to say bitcoin is better or gold is better. Depending on your needs, if you care about profits then bitcoin will be good for you, but if you need safety for your assets and guaranteed value then gold is the choice.

I think bigger market cap doesn't necessarily means the asset is better. Bitcoin has bigger market cap than digital gold probably because it's easier to buy. And I don't get it when someone said some asset is better than the other, what was the factors? Does it gain more profit, or does it more stable, or more secure.

Moreover I don't find the necessity to compare any assets, since we can own all of them, depends on our needs. Like Bitcoin is good for speculation looking at the history of it's high volatility, while gold is good for storing the value, because it has been proven to be inflation-proof.

[panganib999]

This is just comparing apples to oranges at this point. I don't think there's an innate need for people to choose which one's better cause for one, they are both great stores of value, and two, there's no need for you to compare them cause they cater to different audiences. Bitcoin is for those who wants to protect their asset's value while at the same time earn profits at the same time, digital gold is for those who want to just protect their money, are not eager to be inconvenienced with holding gold bars under their floorboards, and are too scared to take the plunge in the bitcoin train. You can't really say for sure which one is better just cause one's more profitable than the other. Sometimes profit is not as essential as the peace of mind that stability would provide. let that sink in.

I would agree with you if this was a gold vs bitcoin debate, but when it comes to bitcoin vs digital gold this is a no contest, bitcoin wins it easily, since there is not such a thing as digital gold and the only asset which is close is in fact bitcoin.

If you want gold then you need to have the physical asset, either coins, gold bars or jewelry, by relying on a digital or a paper form of gold you are trusting that whoever emitted that digital gold will keep as much of it on their vaults as promised, and we know how reliable those promises really are, so if someone has to pick between the two they need to pick bitcoin as it is the best out of the two by a mile.

The skeptism a whole lot of people have towards bitcoin when compared to gold is that the digital asset hasn't been here for a long time as gold has served in decades as a measure of wealth. If you seek my opinion I will say bitcoin is still in it's testing stage for many people unlike gold, and that's we have more people that can conveniently settle for gold without giving a fuck about uncertainty because of the trust it has built for itself over decades to centuries and bitcoin is just getting started so I don't blame when people preferably give gold the preference they do when comparing it with bitcoin and for BTC to earn it despite the value it has possessed within a decade it gonna take many decades more.

[mindrust]

You can always own both bitcoin and gold (digital or physical). It doesn’t have to be one or another. Bitcoin is better than gold in many situations but that doesn’t mean gold is completely outdated. Gold is great too. First of all gold has multiple thousand years of history backing it. Btc’s history is only about a decade and a half long. This means a lot to many people. In a world where everything changes so fast, gold managed to stay same and it has been relevant to this day. I favor both and I own both. I don’t see gold becoming a useless asset in the future because it has an intrinsic value just like any other commodity. (Like rice, coffee, copper, wheat etc)

yes, gold has a sense of security due to its physical character and historical significance. When compared to bitcoin, each has unique qualities that appeal to different sorts of investors. The limited quantity of 21 million coins generates a deflationary feature that appeals to individuals who crave scarcity. but at the end, diversification and understanding the strengths of each asset can be a prudent approach to managing one's portfolio.

I think I am not the first to mention the word "diversification of investments". I would not invest in one asset, there are always alternatives, there are always risks. Therefore, the answer is simple - yes, both assets can be considered investment attractive, but to reduce risks it is better to invest partially in both assets

But if we think about the future, then as the world of this crypto currency is spreading, very soon in the future investment in Bitcoin will be more spread, in this case, due to the increase in demand, its price will also increase.  And you don't have to face the trouble of physically storing it or physically securing it. And since global conflicts are happening all the time, I think Bitcoin is the best digital gold to build wealth in the virtual world.

The presence of Bitcoin is a balancing option to gold but that does not mean that the position is equalized. Regardless of its value and function, gold is still gold that has been around for a long time. Bitcoin has become a new breakthrough in the digital industry and has even become the main one and I don't think gold can do that even though the government has made a similarity to make gold digital, the value of which is questionable.

So as far as I understand gold must remain physical and a balance for the digital sector, of course only Bitcoin has a truly final supply at 21 million. Although currently Bitcoin is mostly considered a community asset whose existence is recognized by some communities. When an institution enters or indeed there are some countries that welcome Bitcoin, it is still a community asset because it is not a benchmark for agreement between all parties, especially in this case the world as a whole. However, even though Bitcoin is a community asset, it is now more promising as a store of value in which the holder has sole rights, and cannot be contaminated by third parties.

You can always own both bitcoin and gold (digital or physical). It doesn’t have to be one or another. Bitcoin is better than gold in many situations but that doesn’t mean gold is completely outdated. Gold is great too. First of all gold has multiple thousand years of history backing it. Btc’s history is only about a decade and a half long. This means a lot to many people. In a world where everything changes so fast, gold managed to stay same and it has been relevant to this day. I favor both and I own both. I don’t see gold becoming a useless asset in the future because it has an intrinsic value just like any other commodity. (Like rice, coffee, copper, wheat etc)

Well, that's the best. If you think that both are good investments, then having both is a very good thing. Apart from that, bitcoin and gold also have their respective advantages and disadvantages. However, still having both is the best thing compared to comparing and choosing one of them. If someone's goal is to invest, then he will definitely think that keeping everything in 1 basket will have risks, so choosing more than 1 type of investment is the way out for that. In addition, the bitcoin and gold communities are almost the same size and easy to liquidate, so having both will not make us confused. We just need good management for that.

Gold and Bitcoin, two distinct stores of value, intertwined in the modern financial landscape. Bitcoin's meteoric rise as a digital asset speaks to its growing significance, with a market cap now rivaling physical gold. A fascinating convergence of traditional and digital wealth.

I think I am not the first to mention the word "diversification of investments". I would not invest in one asset, there are always alternatives, there are always risks. Therefore, the answer is simple - yes, both assets can be considered investment attractive, but to reduce risks it is better to invest partially in both assets

Yes, as we mature, we learned about diversification. We are not talking about investing in altcoin or any other crypto if we have Bitcoin already. What we mean is to diversify our portfolio with different assets, golds, or any other previous metals. And then we could have a piece of land, or a property that can be turn into like a house.

So in any case that your other investments didn't return as expected, you still have others in those other basket of yours.

At least you have multiple sources of your income and money is going to come no matter what.

These two assets are likely to continue to compete indirectly through the number of users over time, because Bitcoin users will also continue to grow and Bitcoin will also continue to be well known to all people, just like gold which is also well known to many people. So competition in terms of value and market capitalization will continue to exist between these two assets so this will be very interesting to see, because Bitcoin is a little more modern than gold even though gold can still be relied on as a store of value for most people.

Bitcoin is a digital currency which is the best among all digital currencies and gold is a very precious metal. If we list the four precious metals in the world, gold will be one of the best. Humans have had a fascination with gold since ancient times and it continues till now.  People who use bitcoin use gold but not everyone who uses gold uses bitcoin. Most people in the world are not involved with Bitcoin but most of the people in the world are quite attracted to gold. 

I never compare bitcoin to gold or gold to bitcoin. I always try to keep gold and bitcoin separate. Bitcoin is a very important digital currency but gold is also a very valuable metal. But if talking about investment between these two then I would definitely choose Bitcoin to invest.

[|MINER|]

Gold and Bitcoin both are best for investment. But since I am involved in crypto world so if someone tells me which is best to hold then Bitcoin is best choice to hold for long term. But I don't mean to say that gold is a bad investment because gold is universally appreciated and is the best physical asset to hold. Here we have to remember one thing that Bitcoin is highly volatile than gold so before investing in bitcoin, if you invest in a long term strategy, I think it will be possible to earn more profit than gold.

That's right, we don't need to compare the two in any way, these two types of investment are highly recommended for investing in bitcoin and gold, gold for long-term investment without needing to worry about the impact of inflation and bitcoin for long-term portfolio investment to achieve high profits in the future future, so a combination investment strategy of both is very necessary.

Everyone will dominantly choose bitcoin investment, but don't be influenced by other people who force you to choose investment between gold and bitcoin, so focus on your investment strategy because having bitcoin and gold will balance investing.

You are preferring bitcoin over gold because of its volatility. You trust in the pattern that bitcoin follows in every cycle and you think this will continue forever. We should be careful when thinking like this because if bitcoin doesn't follow the same historical pattern then there is no one to blame. We all want bitcoin to follow its previous pattern but we should be careful not to be greedy. Diversify your investment in different assets and gold is one of the best along with bitcoin for diversification.

Over the centuries, gold continues to be an asset that can retain value and be an asset that every investor wants in their portfolio. Despite the fact that gold continues to be mined and its quantity can grow to an indefinite quantity.

Bitcoin has a limited supply, there cannot be more than 21 million, and this is what can give it a special value, because those who want to own Bitcoin will increase in the future, and this will always increase its value.

[jaberwock]

When this becomes more clearly visible and can be felt by many people, new people who don't have Bitcoin and already have gold should be able to take this opportunity as their new choice for storing value and also for making profits. Because Bitcoin is not only suitable for storing the value of everyone's assets, but is also suitable for investment with better profit targets, so this is what differentiates physical gold from Bitcoin on the exchange.

Currently, I am still quite interested in these two assets because in my place physical gold is still seen as a precious metal with a very stable price on the market, which makes everyone still quite confident in storing value in physical gold. But on the other hand, I also like Bitcoin as a very good investment for the long term which is not only suitable for storing value, but also for increasing the value of everyone's assets.

Yes true, bitcoin is definitely by far the best asset there is without a doubt and should be considered as a great return for sure. I believe that we are not going to end up with something that would be all that weird or anything, it is definitely be something that could end up with a greater return.

I hope that we are going to end up with a real return whenever you can, the reality is that we are going to end up with something that should not be all that crazy. So all in all, there is no doubt about it that bitcoin should be what we put all our savings in. However, there is one thing that we need to take care of during this, do not put so much money into it that you have nothing left, always put money that can stay there for a long time.

Actually, if you look at the question asked, it depends on where you ask and what forum is used to ask.
When it is in a bitcoin forum like bitcointalk now then surely the answer is clear that bitcoin is the best because we gather here because of bitcoin and indeed questions about comparisons like this I think will only waste time because the answer will clearly be the same.
Not that gold is a bad investment but our choice but on the conditions in which we stand so that in the end if this is asked for those who do invest in gold or special forums about gold investment (if any) then their answer will choose gold not bitcoin.

I think regardless of whether it is better or not actually depends on the perspective of the point of view and where you stand which makes things like this should not need to be asked because everyone's view will definitely be different.

Both the bitcoin and digital gold are the digital asset and you can cash out on demand.But the price variation of the digital gold and bitcoin will be huge difference.The bitcoin holding can give you the double the invested money in one year.But the digital gold need minimum 5-10 years to increase to the fifty percentage of invested money.The digital gold value will increase in very margin.But the bitcoin will be good option for the current market situation.Because the bitcoin will going to reach their next halves in few months.

Both have great value and are good  to explore as an investment  but I don't think the necessity for a comparison between them should be emphasised.Over the years gold has existed and begets assets but also Bitcoin since its existence it has been a versatile and dependable investment as it cut across the world.
So I presume both are necessary and better of for accumulating wealth.

[Joshapat]

In my opinion to say bitcoin is better than digital gold then all bitcoin owners must make a profit, and as we know that bitcoin fluctuations are very high so sometimes it makes people stressed, I have a friend who sold a car worth $ 12k then invested in bitcoin and when in 2017 the price skyrocketing, he was able to get a profit of almost 300% and now he is still active in daily trading.

For me gold led me to bitcoin. Being in both is a good thing to avoid inflation, I realized that these two communities have very similar narratives. There is no reason this or any other narrative should exist in either community. Both must be owned and society must be united and must have both, as has been explained, Bitcoin is a modern asset that exists today.

Because the only reason Gold has remained a universal form of currency for this long is because for most of history it lacked the advanced industrial technology to replace it. With the presence of Blockchain technology, bitcoin is always better.

Why do we compare gold with bitcoin gold is now standard but the future is only for the bitcoin. Yeah, there are very reasons for gold to adopt it. It's widely accepted, and every country and person trusts gold, has a very volatile rate, and will never lose its value but there is some risk to it. If you invest in a large fund by buying gold you will be careful from theft as they can easily take your gold and due to the low rate of volatility it does not give much profit to you. On the other hand, bitcoin is now spreading in the world, and people who understand it are adopting we know the future currency will be Bitcoin. Due to high volatility, its price fluctuates but due to this price it will give higher profits than gold, and  I used to go to Bitcoin, everyone has their own choice and my one is Bitcoin

For my parents and grandparent's Gold has been the number one asset to protect them from a crisis. Whenever there was a economic downturn my grandfather would buy quite a lot of gold, he even stored some of it at home in a drawer, which seems crazy today. Unfortunately the times of gold being the protection against everything are over. It just doesn't work anymore to buy gold. We could see it last year when inflation all around the world hit 10+% and the gold price didn't move. It doesn't matter if it's physical, synthetic or digital gold, the price is already way too high and it's not going to protect us anymore. Bitcoin outperformed gold a lot and is a much better asset to protect us from the next crisis, as long as we are willing to take the risk of short-term price drops. Gold is more stable than bitcoin, but is not offsetting the inflation losses in the value of our money.

Even if the price of bitcoin goes up and down it is really a very good investment even though the market is currently down predicts that the cryptocurrency market will grow in the future. Cryptocurrency adoption by businesses and individuals has grown significantly in recent years and many governments have begun taking steps to regulate the market. The technology used by cryptocurrencies to further the applications of blockchain projects will see bitcoins adopted by various financial institutions and become more valuable than gold in the absence of inflation.

But profit in bitcoin is always expected at every circle of four years, quite certain hodlers make huge profit then with bitcoin but I don't think that makes gold of less value to bitcoin in terms of hodlers profit. You also have to consider the aspect of risk when investing because bitcoin is far risky than gold to invest in. Gold has a long lasting retained value but the volatility of bitcoin exposes to high risk level at any point in time the price can drop without notice but gold has more strong resistance, influence and control by government.

Gold has been a haven in economic downturns for generations. Gold was the best economic hedge for a long time, as your parents and grandparents said. A gold drawer: who wouldn't want one? The times are shifting. As you said, last year proved that. As inflation rose, what did gold do? Not much. Very little

Now, Bitcoin? Different story. New kid on the neighborhood, making waves. Big waves. It's outperforming gold significantly. However, it's volatile. Not predictable. Not for the fainthearted. Bitcoin's rollercoaster can provide significant benefits. Remember that big gains come with huge dangers. Although stable, gold isn't performing as well as before. Not keeping up with inflation. Not preserving money worth. So, the answer? Diversify. Don't put all your gold, Bitcoin, or other eggs in one basket. Always, always do homework

I agree with you but I think the only difference between bitcoin and gold is that bitcoin is intangible but gold is tangible. on the other hand, one of the most profitable ways to trade in Bitcoin is that you will never be able to make as much profit from anywhere else as you can from Bitcoin. Gold will get less profit compared to Bitcoin. Here different people have different preferences so it is not possible to give proper advice, now the important thing is where you invest your money, because if you have so much time or gold investment it is long term but you can.

its from the perspective of investment indeed bitcoin has always been growing really well when we invest in it, from over a decade its always reaching all time high and bitcoin doing it consistently.
i don't think gold can compete in that field, its always the upperhand that bitcoin got when it comes to the return rate of investment.
not to mention the fact that investing with bitcoin is really easy, you could differentiate authenticity of bitcoin by simply owning one in the main blockchain.
meanwhile with gold, even digital ones, its up to the company whether you gonna get real gold or not, after all who knows if the company doesn't even own gold at all.
thats why im skeptic when it comes to digital gold.

[Iranus]

i don't think gold can compete in that field, its always the upperhand that bitcoin got when it comes to the return rate of investment.

It's not that gold can't compete with bitcoin in terms of returns, it's simply that gold has increased significantly over the past thousand years and it has reached its peak and saturation. Therefore, when comparing profits these days, it is clear that gold cannot be compared with bitcoin, but in terms of safety, gold is much superior.

Nowadays, gold is considered a safe haven, a store of value, not a profit-making investment, so I think there is no need to compare. If you want to find high returns, bitcoin or stocks are the choice, if you want to find a safe haven for your assets, it will be more suitable.

Even if in principle both gold and bitcoin should serve the same function, there is a massive difference in the history of the two, with gold being recognized as a valuable asset for thousands of years while bitcoin is very young compared to gold.

So gold has pretty much reached as much as it is possible under the current economic climate, while bitcoin is still growing at an impressive speed and getting adopted by more people, which makes it more suitable for those that want a greater ROI.

We are expecting more from Bitcoin then we are from Gold and this is a major reason why people will not back down on Bitcoin. The ROI on Bitcoin far outweights that of Gold, holders can attest to this, the volatility in the crypto space has created more than enough benefit for people to record massive profits in Bitcoin than it did Gold.

In the Digital space, irrespective of the challenges with SEC and global adoption, Bitcoin has provent to be more of a better investment than Digital Gold

[goxcraft]

OP, I don't understand what you are trying to achieve here. How can you compare gold and bitcoin? It's not logical. Comparing bitcoin with altcoins can be reasonable. Gold and bitcoin both have different properties and attributes. The crypto market is much more volatile compared to gold prices. The price of crypto can fluctuate at any time, with the highest price difference where gold doesn't. Another thing is that if you want to profit a lot, you have to wait a long time for the right moment to come. For gold, it doesn't guarantee a high profit, but it won't consume time like bitcoin does.

There’s this long association of Bitcoin and Gold as an asset and as a store of value, however, it is also correct that these two have different characteristics and properties. Gold and Bitcoin has differences with platform and physical form. Although both are profitable assets to be held for a long period of time, one is more volatile which makes it a more risky investment but no doubt it will generate bigger profit as well. As per Gold, it is accepted to many countries if not all, as a mode of payment, for fashion, and for collection. Actially Bitcoin is the one being pertained as digital gold due to the mentioned linkage or association between the two.So it boils down to the question; which is better? I’d say it depends on the circumstances the investor is into. Preference and accessibility would also be a factor to consider in order to know which is which.

Gold is not as volatile and is a lot safer while bitcoin is highly volatile and high risk so I don't think it is entirely accurate to call bitcoin digital gold. People like to call bitcoin digital gold because people think that one day bitcoin will become as valuable and precious as physical gold, but bitcoin is still bitcoin, nothing else. Digital gold is just the name people give bitcoin.

As for which one is better, I agree with your thoughts, it depends on each investor's situation and preferences...hard to say which one is better than the other. Since this is a bitcoin forum, people will choose bitcoin, but if this question were asked on a gold forum the answer would obviously be the opposite.

even 1 year investment in bitcoin could already outweight a decade investment in gold even digital gold.
its just really obvious what to choose to invest here when it comes to targeting to get massive money.
moreover, so many people refusing investing in gold for the simple fact that gold only good to go against inflation not so much for investment.
i personally never seen any person getting rich from just investing in gold but i've seen plenty become millionaire from investing in bitcoin at the right time and at the right moment.
thats the difference.

In the Digital space, irrespective of the challenges with SEC and global adoption, Bitcoin has provent to be more of a better investment than Digital Gold

even 1 year investment in bitcoin could already outweight a decade investment in gold even digital gold.
its just really obvious what to choose to invest here when it comes to targeting to get massive money.
moreover, so many people refusing investing in gold for the simple fact that gold only good to go against inflation not so much for investment.
i personally never seen any person getting rich from just investing in gold but i've seen plenty become millionaire from investing in bitcoin at the right time and at the right moment.
thats the difference.

You make a valid and extremely persuasive point. Bitcoin has generated returns in its brief existence that gold has failed to do over decades. Undoubtedly, it is true. When discussing enormous sums of money, enormous returns, and enormous revenues, the digital currency industry, Bitcoin in particular, stands out. It certainly stands out, everyone! Gold? It has been in existence for centuries, and it is indeed an inflation hedge. Although stable and dependable, can it instantly transform you into a millionaire? Not really, not really

I have since had the privilege of conversing with countless successful individuals who have shared anecdotes regarding their Bitcoin investments. They made profitable purchases and sales at the optimal times, and voila! Millionaires appear out of thin air. Gold? Simply put, not at all. A separate ball game has begun. However, keep in mind that substantial returns are accompanied by substantial hazards. Therefore, although Bitcoin may appear to be the apparent option, do your research at all times. Alway

There’s this long association of Bitcoin and Gold as an asset and as a store of value, however, it is also correct that these two have different characteristics and properties. Gold and Bitcoin has differences with platform and physical form. Although both are profitable assets to be held for a long period of time, one is more volatile which makes it a more risky investment but no doubt it will generate bigger profit as well. As per Gold, it is accepted to many countries if not all, as a mode of payment, for fashion, and for collection. Actially Bitcoin is the one being pertained as digital gold due to the mentioned linkage or association between the two.So it boils down to the question; which is better? I’d say it depends on the circumstances the investor is into. Preference and accessibility would also be a factor to consider in order to know which is which.

I know that bitcoin is powerful. But when it comes to survival, I would choose gold in this case. Not just gold, but any rare earth substance like gold, silver, titanium, etc. I'm not talking about profits.

Let me give you an example: a 20-dollar bill versus a 20-dollar worth of gold bars. What would you choose? They are the same in terms of value. But a 20-dollar bill is paper money. Today it may be valuable, but tomorrow it might not. Unlike this, bitcoin is also digital money. On the other hand, gold won't lose its value, no matter what. Every technology has gold, even the tiniest bit of gold. And the demand for gold is massive. It's never going to end. Profit would be less, I understand. But it's not bad either compared to BTC.

With high volatility which results in fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin, it is a fairly risky asset for some people who do not understand how to manage it.
Indeed, there are many millionaires who were born from Bitcoin but we must also realize that there are also many people who go bankrupt because of Bitcoin and because of their lack of understanding of Bitcoin and how to manage it.

Those who buy for the long term certainly still have a good chance of reaching the highest price,
but Bitcoin cannot be a hedging asset because of strong price fluctuations.
As you said about Bitcoin, large profits will also be offset by large risks.

When gold does not have high volatility and tends to be stable, gold is not too risky but it takes a long time to see how much profit.
Maybe people who hold gold for decades can enjoy the benefits, but for those who only hold gold for a few years, it will still have no effect,
only perhaps as a fairly stable hedge.

Looking at this latest Gold Vs Bitcoin Chart, we will be able to see how the Bitcoin Price Fluctuates and how the price of gold is stable.

i don't think gold can compete in that field, its always the upperhand that bitcoin got when it comes to the return rate of investment.

It's not that gold can't compete with bitcoin in terms of returns, it's simply that gold has increased significantly over the past thousand years and it has reached its peak and saturation. Therefore, when comparing profits these days, it is clear that gold cannot be compared with bitcoin, but in terms of safety, gold is much superior.

Nowadays, gold is considered a safe haven, a store of value, not a profit-making investment, so I think there is no need to compare. If you want to find high returns, bitcoin or stocks are the choice, if you want to find a safe haven for your assets, it will be more suitable.

Even if in principle both gold and bitcoin should serve the same function, there is a massive difference in the history of the two, with gold being recognized as a valuable asset for thousands of years while bitcoin is very young compared to gold.

So gold has pretty much reached as much as it is possible under the current economic climate, while bitcoin is still growing at an impressive speed and getting adopted by more people, which makes it more suitable for those that want a greater ROI.

gold actually just stable throughout the ages, its just how gold works, the purchasing power had you keep your wealth in form of gold would stabilize across decades even century.
thats why many people prefer it to counter the inflation.
meanwhile with bitcoin its massive growth mainly because it comes from innovation, bitcoin labeled the digital gold for reasons that is because its so precious yet the growth of the value also massive.
therefore I think comparing between the two even though not really right, but still make sense. from the standpoint of investors where we only consider the returns.

True, in my experience 2 years ago, I had 3.5 grams of gold and sold it, and I received about $220 on my local currency. After a day, I bought Bitcoin and received about 0.01 BTC.  So after 2 years I hold BTC, I am profiting about $120 today. Just think,  if I hold my gold until today I just received a profit of about $20-$30, right?, That's not even tax deducted, admin fee and, and weighing wages when I sell it on different gold shops. In my opinion, bitcoin is true as digital asset investment, that asset will grow your wealth and directly proportional as good as investment, while gold does not increase wealth, gold is just maintain value from inflation.

Simple thinking and need to be heard is the last sentence in your statement, I strongly agree that gold is not a value-adding investment instrument but it is more about maintaining value from increasing FIAT inflation and Bitcoin is a value-adding investment instrument in the value of the money we save in it, I myself realized this for a long time so I never had gold / digital gold to be used as a future investment asset after I knew bitcoin for a year, because indeed the difference is quite large if we want to be people who have financial freedom.

But I see irregularities in the society of most parents who do not understand Bitcoin and they are more stubbornly holding gold as the most valuable and profitable asset to save in the long run, but they forget that what makes the price go up is because inflation is very high which makes gold go up look up in price, even though the value of gold is stable 1: 1 to this day.

There is no doubt that Bitcoin is the best digital cryptocurrency to invest in. Bitcoin has a higher rate of return than gold. Bitcoin's unique properties make it preferred over gold, but that doesn't mean gold isn't a good investment. Gold is a good investment option, because before the existence of Bitcoin almost majority of people invested their money in gold for their future.

I think the price of gold continues to increase, if we compare the price of gold in our country, compared to two years ago, the price of gold has doubled. There is no doubt that gold has a lower rate of return than Bitcoin but it has a physical form whose value can never be ignored. No matter what happens in the world, gold will always maintain its value and because of gold, your capital can be more secure. So both gold and Bitcoin have their place of importance.

The connection between gold and bitcoin (BTC) as stores of value is obvious, and the demand for BTC as a digital store of value was a big reason why the cryptocurrency grew in popularity, crypto services provider Matrixport said in a report Monday.
Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $540 billion, equivalent to 10.8% of the market cap of physical financial gold, Matrixport said, adding that gold exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) are valued at $200 billion.

Bitcoin journey started since 2009 people most provably started to know about Bitcoin since 2014. But it has gained massive popularity since 2017. If you think about it from that angle, gold has been recognized as a resource since the beginning of the world and until now it is seen as a store of value. People around the world have long valued gold in the same way that they will never accept any other asset easily. Also not everyone will understand easily about Bitcoin but even an uneducated person can purchase and hold by money. So if we discuss the capital aspect with gold and bitcoin then definitely gold will be ahead but if we compare gold and bitcoin comparatively then definitely bitcoin will be ahead.

Crypto has its price and Gold has its price. Bitcoin changes concerning time, but I don't gold gold is as volatile as we think of Bitcoin. But this is also better in some cases if someone wants to keep Gold instead of bitcoin he must have low chances of loss and also there will be a low profit if he wants to earn something from it. But if he buys Bitcoins and keeps them for some time, then definitely he will be at more risk due to its increased volatility. So, he would be at a big loss even if the same think happens that he can have a big profit in that.

These things matter a lot if we compare something with crypto and regard the real view of Gold as it has some physical uses and more people are even buying it and keeping it for some better days. But this is just a time matter and sometimes when something is trending people choose it as always.

[JeffBrad12]

OP, I don't understand what you are trying to achieve here. How can you compare gold and bitcoin? It's not logical. Comparing bitcoin with altcoins can be reasonable. Gold and bitcoin both have different properties and attributes. The crypto market is much more volatile compared to gold prices. The price of crypto can fluctuate at any time, with the highest price difference where gold doesn't. Another thing is that if you want to profit a lot, you have to wait a long time for the right moment to come. For gold, it doesn't guarantee a high profit, but it won't consume time like bitcoin does.

digital gold still can be compared with bitcoin though the fact that it is digital gold, because it made for the sake of easiness for people to invest in "gold"
therefore its both can be compared in term of being investment, to see the return rate and the risk rate.
I think its completely fine to see it from this point because gold itself also being favoured as best investment where it always grow but seeing the bigger picture here.
is it really true, that gold is really best investment there is? considering the fact that judging from decades of growth digital gold didn't do so much anyway.

[bayu7adi]

Yes, I see your point. Valid gold is only the physical kind. There might be digital gold where some institutions claim to back it with physical gold in a 1:1 ratio, but I'm always skeptical about this, as any centralized institution tends to have its ways of concealing the unknown from the public. Even if it's a big company, there's always the possibility that they don't actually possess real or physical gold. I understand this doesn't apply to all companies, so it ultimately depends on our wise choices.

One of the reasons I'm not entirely sold on digital gold is its limited utility compared to physical gold. Physical gold can serve as an investment or be used to create jewelry, while digital gold is primarily for investment purposes and heavily reliant on technology.

[0t3p0t]

Bitcoin is the digital and volatile version of physical gold. Physical gold has several qualities that have made it exceptionally valuable throughout history. Since Bitcoin is volatile, it is one of the most profitable assets traders can acquire. Gold is stable and is good investment to counter crisis and inflation that is why central banks use it as reserve for backup.

[Patrol69]

Gold and Bitcoin are precious things so there is nothing to prove one is valuable and one is worthless because both are very valuable.  Just as Bitcoin is a popular currency, gold is one of the most precious metals in the world. People who don't understand Bitcoin or who don't have enough courage to invest and who are afraid of losing their money in the bank usually convert their money into gold. Those who buy gold with money but do not invest that money in gold but think about the security of their money, they take such decision. Those who have an investment mind-set and those who are involved with Bitcoin will use Bitcoin for investment, but not everyone who has a tendency to invest with risk can definitely invest in Bitcoin. In terms of both, I would highly value both and I would definitely use Bitcoin and gold separately.

Since Bitcoin is volatile, it is one of the most profitable assets traders can acquire. Gold is stable and is good investment to counter crisis and inflation that is why central banks use it as reserve for backup.

Bitcoin has proven good with its digital version to date and has also been considered an asset that can withstand crises and inflation so far so that Bitcoin will continue to be seen as a good asset to save and own in the long term by people who have the courage to keep it because Some people still don't dare to keep Bitcoin as the best asset because they often think about Bitcoin's value or price easily changing in the market.

So they still tend to shift their money to gold, even though this is not a bad thing for them, but apart from them still liking and believing in the stability of the value of gold, they should also use Bitcoin as a form of investment that can provide benefits for them in the future. Because these two assets are actually both good to have to fight bad things in the current economy such as crisis and inflation.

[NotATether]

The OP said digital gold not physical gold bars. Such an asset would have to be stored on a custodial platform - which can never be transacted with, only held - which of course will require you to complete KYC in order to access your gold holdings - which it may or may not have depending on the trustworthiness of the platform.

All have their own advantages and disadvantages.  In terms of 1 year profit, bitcoin is definitely the right one to be used as an investment because it is indeed with the volatile condition of bitcoin that makes their value grow rapidly, but on the other hand indirectly this also makes the risk of bitcoin greater than gold considering gold is more stable in terms of value.
It depends on us in seeing the real risk because this is the most important thing. Being in bitcoin is the best thing. that's true, but the problem is whether we are ready for the worst possibilities because in recent years with a sizable bitcoin correction many people have actually given up on the investments they made because they said risk but the behavior they did did did not reflect risk because they only thought about profit without thinking about the worst possibilities.

If you look back at the history of gold over the past thousand years, you will also see that the value of gold has also increased significantly compared to decades ago. That proves there are many people who invested in gold and became rich, but because you were not born at that time, you never know who became rich by investing in gold  . Before gold became as big as it is today, it also had volatile prices and bull cycles, you have never read about its history, so you don't know about it.

Gold is an old asset and has reached a level of stability so comparing it to a new asset like bitcoin is quite lame. Just as many people will compare bitcoin to altcoins, many people invest in altcoins because they believe that bitcoin will no longer be very profitable. Bitcoin still offers significant returns compared to traditional assets, but there's no denying that bitcoin's returns are getting smaller. Do you see bitcoin rising millions of percent or thousands of percent these days? That happened years ago and now we will only have x10, x5...and they will get smaller and smaller as bitcoin gets bigger and bigger.

[Pingrapole]

Two things are valuable in two cases gold is accepted globally but bitcoin is gold so far limited to certain states or few people like gold to people globally Bitcoin has gained trust but not yet and both are very high value and both are asset classes one is ancient or traditional and Bitcoin is modern. So it is not logical to differentiate or compare between the two, that is why many of us is buying gold with our Bitcoin earnings because both are Permanent gold has already achieved stability and Bitcoin is slowly making its presence felt around the world.So there is no reason to see these two separately as one complements the other now Both are sustainable now and will be in the near future and will continue to exist with their power.

In my opinion, gold is one of the safest hedging tools so far. But gold is certainly not a profitable investment if we are in a business whirlwind. For some people, gold will always be seen as an important tangible asset when the financial crisis hits. Then the value of gold does not depend on authority policy, so there is no need to worry too much about changes in interest rates and the like and of course you are free from the risk of a banking crisis, because gold is not affected at all by the world banking system.

So gold will still be a priority compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin does have another side that may be much more profitable, but because its value fluctuates greatly, some people are worried about investing on a large scale. And I also suspect that so far the development and interest in Bitcoin is also increasing.

[Uruhara]

I do seem to agree with what the OP said about Bitcoin being better than digital gold. Because I think digital gold is not under our control. This is different from Bitcoin, which we store in our personal wallet and always have full control over ourselves. But I only agree if it's with digital gold. But physically, gold is still superior. But if we talk about the investment realm then of course Bitcoin is also what I would choose. But if it is for storing value then physical gold is the best. Physical gold and Bitcoin also cannot be compared. Because it seems like these two things have different realms. This is between digital payment tools and the realm of stores of value.

[Davian144]

Apart from what differentiates the two from a physical aspect, they are also different from ancient discoveries to modern discoveries so that everyone can choose both for quite logical reasons. Because when someone wants to own physical gold, he can immediately buy it at the nearest gold shop in his area at a predetermined rate, whereas if someone wants to invest in assets that can exceed gold. The choice should be on Bitcoin because in general Bitcoin is actually quite well known throughout the world even though not everyone in the world has Bitcoin in their wallets.

Yes, gold is no longer a good investment as it has reached its limit, and it is more suitable as a hedging tool in these days. What I just want to point out is that in the past gold was also a very profitable investment, and also helped many people get rich, not completely useless like poodle63 said.

As for bitcoin, I am a bitcoin investor and I admit that today it has more potential than gold in terms of returns because it is a new asset. There have also been many people who have changed their lives thanks to investing in bitcoin and there will be more in the future. But that doesn't mean we can deny the role of gold in the past and present. We don't need to vilify another asset to make bitcoin shine brighter.

[kingvirtus09]

The OP said digital gold not physical gold bars. Such an asset would have to be stored on a custodial platform - which can never be transacted with, only held - which of course will require you to complete KYC in order to access your gold holdings - which it may or may not have depending on the trustworthiness of the platform.

Well, obviously, as the title says, digital gold is very far from physical gold. And then bitcoin or gold should not be compared to each other because they do not have the same function in the market when it comes to the concepts and features that each one has.

And obviously, Bitcoin does not require KYC, unlike gold, which is required for anyone who has this business institution, right? And also, when it comes to the transaction, the difference between the two of them is, to be honest, very small.

[Fakhrulenclix]

Well, if it's for investing, I agree that Bitcoin is much better, but if it's for saving, I think there are many other things, including gold, that are more appropriate.
Actually, these cannot be compared because they have different functions, and it all comes back to each of us as to what function we use, if it is for investing of course Bitcoin is much better because it has quite significant price movements so it is possible to make a profit (such as investment objectives).

With bitcoin we don't have much of difference between saving and holding. Both were similar, just adding little by little to the wallet where bitcoin is kept for long term gives the benefit of investing through the growth experienced.

With digital gold we don't have such an access to hold and experience the benefits of investing. With digital gold there are different types of investment and we need to analyse well and invest, if not we get trapped. When it comes to gold, investing what is excess in our hand and doesn't require in the short is the right way. In specific Gold bonds were more profitable than other forms of digital gold investment, but with these bonds we won't be able to withdraw the fund whenever necessary. Only after specific number of years the amount can be withdrawn, and for those years we'll be provided with specific percentage interest on the amount invested. Bitcoin and gold are completely different and we need to understand well and move forward to invest.

The connection between gold and bitcoin (BTC) as stores of value is obvious, and the demand for BTC as a digital store of value was a big reason why the cryptocurrency grew in popularity, crypto services provider Matrixport said in a report Monday.
Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $540 billion, equivalent to 10.8% of the market cap of physical financial gold, Matrixport said, adding that gold exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) are valued at $200 billion. Read

Apart from the traits of Bitcoin being a store house of value., it has also helped solve the control and power of the fiat money only if you do not make use of Kyced centralized exchanges.
It solved some aspects of privacy and transparency with how the money flows.
There's a problem with your tittle heading,  it needs to be solved or corrected.  Bitcoin I know is also called digital gold. Why the need for comparing.

[YOSHIE]

There is an order of assessment between better, from which side and the consideration factors you look at Gold and Bitcoin, if you say it like the title I quoted.

Bitcoin Is Better Than Digital Gold.

My understanding is that nothing is better than gold, for whatever reason you think Bitcoin has a higher value than gold, the problem is don't be guided by the view of high value, consider it in terms of needs, physicality, access and so on.

You can have bitcoin, if you are successful in accessing the internet, gold does not need an access system, if you look at storage, of course gold is better than Bitcoin, unless: you look at it from an economic trading perspective, of course Bitcoin is economically faster, Don't look at both gold and Bitcoin from one side, the mutual effects and risks must be considered, then you can say which is better.

Gold was much better before Bitcoin was created and launched into the world of online technology.

Why do we constantly feel the need to compare Bitcoin to something else? Bitcoin is an important value for us and its value will increase day by day. I do not find it right to compare it with another precious metal or digital currency. Every investment instrument is valuable if it has proven itself. Each investment instrument has its own investor base. Anyone can buy and invest in any investment instrument.

Comparing things does not increase the value of the things we compare, so I think these comparisons are a waste of time.

[Mame89]

If you look back at the history of gold over the past thousand years, you will also see that the value of gold has also increased significantly compared to decades ago. That proves there are many people who invested in gold and became rich, but because you were not born at that time, you never know who became rich by investing in gold  . Before gold became as big as it is today, it also had volatile prices and bull cycles, you have never read about its history, so you don't know about it.

Gold is an old asset and has reached a level of stability so comparing it to a new asset like bitcoin is quite lame. Just as many people will compare bitcoin to altcoins, many people invest in altcoins because they believe that bitcoin will no longer be very profitable. Bitcoin still offers significant returns compared to traditional assets, but there's no denying that bitcoin's returns are getting smaller. Do you see bitcoin rising millions of percent or thousands of percent these days? That happened years ago and now we will only have x10, x5...and they will get smaller and smaller as bitcoin gets bigger and bigger.

Indeed, if you look at the history of gold, it is longer than bitcoin, bitcoin has only been around for a decade. However, bitcoin assets are better compared to gold, investing in gold will be difficult if you travel abroad, but not for investing in bitcoin. Owning bitcoin will not only bring significant profits someday but we can also easily travel wherever we go and easily carry bitcoin assets.

The point is everything has pluses and minuses. If Bitcoin is light, it can be carried anywhere with Prase Seed, but when the signal and network are down, it can't do anything. Gold is indeed heavy, if it weighs many kilos it will cost money to move it. But at least if we really want to be rich we need gold and bitcoin.

Gold is a historical precious metal since long ago gold was held as a national reserve in most countries of the world. It is based on the economy, monetary policy, and other financial conditions of different countries. Bitcoin and gold pricing factors and evolving scenarios are different. Gold and Bitcoin are two different economic components and investment options. Financial events such as gold price, and Bitcoin price can affect market readiness, investment, and crisis or situation changes with cryptocurrency market growth. It can be used as a conceptual asset and  This can be important for the country's financial status as a gold currency. Gold is a minor recourse, but Bitcoin can be a volatile investment option, offering long-term earnings opportunities. Currently most people are choosing Bitcoin as a medium of investment.

This is not entirely true, if you compare the number of investors in bitcoin with gold, the number of investors in bitcoin is insignificant compared to gold.  people are still choosing gold over bitcoin.  part of it is that bitcoin is still not really familiar to everyone, legal issues...part of it is the fluctuations and risks that it brings that not everyone likes.  we're on a bitcoin forum, so of course you'll see most people choose bitcoin, but if this question above were on a purely economic forum the result would be different.

Every thing has two sides pros and cons we have to balance both. Bitcoin Is Better Than Digital Gold or not it is totally depends upon your needs and patience. Bitcoin is a more volatile investment that may provide quick returns. Bitcoin is one of the strongest cryptocurrency and for that matter, it has helped so many people to get financial stability in
in their hard time meanwhile gold is stable with limited growth. In my opinion Understanding each investment's you need to decide by yourself because except you no one can understand your needs.

This is correct every stage of success depends on your selection, patience, knowledge, experience and timing. Some people become successful while holding digital coins while some find bitcoin as a best investment asset so its all depends on your choice and holding abilities. bitcoin is although volatile but those who are expert in crypto will take benefit from this volatility instead of thinking about it as a bad characteristics of crypto. Other people cannot make profit for you but they can only give suggestion for your so it is up to you that are you focus on benefit or risk. Utilize your knowledge and experience so every asset can become a reason of your richness.

I just heard that many times if gold is not a kind of investment, but as a store of value your wealth. As we know, the price of gold is never rises as is happening today, but because decrease in fiat value. While bitcoin, the value is always increase when we have compare it with fiat and gold. Since this year, the bitcoin price increase about 120%, while gold only rise about 10% from November 2022. With this situation, we know what the best for investment right?, yes, bitcoin is still good for investment, even was dump about 50% from ATH, but when we bought it on october 2022 of course we created profit 120%+ than we invested our money on gold.

[Litzki1990]

The OP said digital gold not physical gold bars. Such an asset would have to be stored on a custodial platform - which can never be transacted with, only held - which of course will require you to complete KYC in order to access your gold holdings - which it may or may not have depending on the trustworthiness of the platform.

By gold we mean physical gold because I think gold can never be virtual. You must understand the gold that I am talking about,the gold that people use, the gold that people use to make ornaments, I am talking about that gold. OP clearly tried to differentiate between gold and bitcoin here. It's fine to find the difference between Pepsi and Coca-Cola but when it comes to finding the difference between gold and bitcoin I don't think I can find any difference because the two are different and the real character of the two is different. Just as Coca-Cola and Pepsi make lotus drinks and their categories are the same, Bitcoin and gold are not the same category, so it is difficult to distinguish between them.

That's exactly what I thought. I mean, I dont know if there's Digital gold though, but If we try to compare the Physical gold and Bitcoin, definitely there's a lot of differences. when it comes to stability I prefer investing in gold which focused in long term goal just like bitcoin but it doesn't require constantly monitoring because everyone's aware that gold value increase from time to time, And about investing in bitcoin, actually it's good same as gold but this is applicable for High risk takers investors and it requires monitoring and checking the market price because its value is volatile.

The connection between gold and bitcoin (BTC) as stores of value is obvious, and the demand for BTC as a digital store of value was a big reason why the cryptocurrency grew in popularity, crypto services provider Matrixport said in a report Monday.

And gold is indeed a safe asset and gold is often considered by society as a stable asset that can also function as a hedge when economic uncertainty comes from time to time, but in crisis situations, investors may tend to sell gold to make ends meet. liquidity needs and if the currency strengthens, the value of gold can also fall at any time.

Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $540 billion, equivalent to 10.8% of the market cap of physical financial gold, Matrixport said, adding that gold exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) are valued at $200 billion. Read

At the end of the post written by Coindesk, I think the direction is quite clear. BTC has always been a hot topic of discussion for mainstream experts, institutional investors to discuss both in terms of Volatility, predicting and believing in Bitcoin as a financial instrument that has very high Bitcoin growth prospects. However, if there is a correction, it is normal in the BTC market.

[Dunamisx]

Isn't bitcoin itself a digital gold, people are rushing to take advantage in bitcoin and adopt it for their financial economy situations to help them experience change to their desired destinations in dealing with finances, asset managements and many other, bitcoin is the digital gold some referred to because of its values being a digital currency, I don't know how gold had already existed in its digital form but what we have now is bitcoin and it's decentralized unlike the centralized gold.

Bitcoin is always better than digital gold. Because Bitcoin is Totally Decentralized and Digital Gold is Centralized which is why you can always invest in Bitcoin and be safe because the control of Bitcoin is completely in your hands and can be controlled as you wish and no one will know how much money you invest in Bitcoin. You can keep it completely hidden and invest in Bitcoins totally anonymously. But in digital gold you cannot invest anonymously. So if you invest more money there, you will be at risk and digital gold will not give you enough privacy. and the rate of increase in the price of Bitcoin is always much higher than that of gold, but there are many chances of the price to decrease. But if someone wants to invest by accepting risk then Bitcoin will be the best

[Kelward]

Apparently I see no reason for comparison as they’re both good store of value and most times if they are possibilities of you owning them both, then I would advice that you go for it rather than wanting to compare them.
Bitcoin is still very new as compared to gos who has been in the market for a very long time and despite bitcoin infancy, it still has good future but very volatile while gold be it digital or physical gold isn’t that volatile and if I’m asked to choose between them both, then I might get to choose gold if maybe I have huge funds and scared of volatility but since I already know the risk associated with bitcoin, and if I could afford one bitcoin, I would simply dump the money in bitcoin
What I’m trying to say in essence is that, bitcoin is the future especially if you understand the risk.

I see reason in your comment that gold and bitcoin don't have much bases to be compared, bitcoin is a digital asset that is still quite new in the investment market, while gold in it's original form is a physical asset. Bitcoin is still gaining ground in it's adoption, while gold has always been a precious asset from ancient times and it's still highly valued till this day. Individuals and governments hold gold as valued asset, while bitcoin is still facing the challenges of acceptance by various governments and individuals.

Although one thing that I can agree is that they are both good stores of value as you have said, they're assets that someone can invest in and be sure that their investments are profitable and the values will keep increasing. So it depends on individual preferences to determine which one or both to invest in.

If we have economic conditions, we do not need to compare and can invest in both to optimize profits as well as ensure our safety. But if we only have a certain amount of capital and want to increase that amount of capital, we should do a small comparison to find the plan we need. I think for people with small capital and willing to take risks, bitcoin should be the choice because its volatility will help us make significant profits. If we choose gold, we will encounter many difficulties in finding profits and increasing capital.

You say Bitcoin is new, yet it has been around for some decades same thing goes to digital gold. The only difference is that Bitcoin has achieved widespread of adoption generally more than digital gold. The number of investors and holders of digital gold cannot be compared to that of Bitcoin since their origin. Perhaps you are comparing physical gold to Bitcoin, both are two different asset, what you should be comparing it with should be the digital form of gold.

Physical gold was a treasure and asset created by God so its existence and its value is super unique while Bitcoin was created by man. Also, since the existence of man Gold has been there so it is more precious than Bitcoin curently but i believe with time that Bitcoin will be of high important to humanity and if that happened it may displace the value of Gold.

[m2017]

Physical gold was a treasure and asset created by God

Really? Wasn't it natural phenomena that created gold? More precisely, geological processes in volcanic and magmatic formations.

Sometimes, doubts arise that we are not on a technical forum, where everything is explained from the point of view of science and common sense.

so its existence and its value is super unique

Gold is unique due to its chemical properties (what is used in science and technology). And the value is unique due to its rarity (limited issue, so to speak), but for the most part, the value of gold exists due to the belief in its value (sounds paradoxically, I know). In North America, before the arrival of Europeans, gold was literally lying under the feet of the indigenous population, useless to anyone. It was only with the arrival of people with an abstract belief in the value of gold that the situation changed dramatically.

while Bitcoin was created by man.

Why not God? If follow your logic. We don’t know who is behind Satoshi. It could be anyone and anything.

I apologize for the slightly provocative rhetorical questions. I couldn't resist the temptation to discuss this.

Also, since the existence of man Gold has been there so it is more precious than Bitcoin curently but i believe with time that Bitcoin will be of high important to humanity and if that happened it may displace the value of Gold.

Even though gold and bitcoin are compared to each other, essentially completely different things, from different worlds (physical and digital), with completely different properties and characteristics, applications and uses. The only thing have in common is the presence of a price tag, and even those differ greatly.

[Cookdata]

Just as Coca-Cola and Pepsi make lotus drinks and their categories are the same, Bitcoin and gold are not the same category, so it is difficult to distinguish between them.

Virtual Gold and digital gold are all the same only that one can be redeemed by yourself without going after any to give you access to the physical gold but virtual gold on the other hand is manage by individuals that trade stock or ETF or even crypto that are backed by real gold in one to one ratio, this means that for every traded gold, it's back by a company that offer that redeem and you can redeem that easily to a physical gold and they all have the same characteristic, a change in real gold will affect the physical gold.

Bitcoin and Gold are two different asset, one is centralized and the other is decentralized but they have common characteristics such as preserving wealth over time but bitcoin is preferred because it's gives great return than gold. Bitcoin is having limited supply and gold is having many in circulation and more are mine everyday. Sometimes, when Gold are been ship to the market, they hardly know and that's why I don't like the metric of gold, unlike bitcoin that is in real time.

Exactly right. Gold supply is unlimited and for limited BTC produced annually only the amount of 21 million and There will never be more than 21 million Bitcoins and more and more billionaires, federal fractions, and gold traders are sailing against crypto,

Crypto in this case BTC has potential and its value will gradually be widely recognized of course, the better I feel about owning BTC.

[kojektea]

digital gold what is it? I think what is called digital gold is the same as bitcoin. it makes no difference unless you say bitcoin is better than gold. that makes a lot more sense. I think compared to gold, bitcoin does have several advantages. It's just that in terms of durability, gold still wins. but the value of bitcoin exceeds gold for now.

[Davian144]

Exactly right. Gold supply is unlimited and for limited BTC produced annually only the amount of 21 million and There will never be more than 21 million Bitcoins and more and more billionaires, federal fractions, and gold traders are sailing against crypto,

If 21 million Bitcoins are produced every year, that means Bitcoin will always increase every year, mate . It seems that you have misunderstood the number of Bitcoins which is 21 million, because if it continues to be produced every year, the number will definitely increase every year from 2009 until now. What I know is that Bitcoin has never increased in number every year, after the number was patented at 21 million, while Gold is a very different asset from Bitcoin. Gold is not only different in terms of supply every year, but also different from the physical side which Bitcoin basically doesn't have, so understand carefully what you are saying, mate

Crypto in this case BTC has potential and its value will gradually be widely recognized of course, the better I feel about owning BTC.

Crypto does not only include Bitcoin, but also includes other things too, but Bitcoin is very unique from other things because Bitcoin has a better appeal for everyone so that people who already know Bitcoin will continue to have had a fondness for Bitcoin for a long time for quite obvious reasons. So the potential of Bitcoin and the value of Bitcoin itself will be very difficult to lose in the long term.

[diminizio]

for now that's true. but gold has stronger fundamentals than bitcoin considering that gold is a genuine natural product while bitcoin is just numbers made from code. I don't know whether it can be sabotaged or not because after all it is made of humans. while gold is made from nature.

I agree,

investing in gold can be a way to diversify your portfolio

investing in gold seemed too old now and proposed many cons like inconvenience and the risk of theft but through digital gold these have been acknowledged

But if we only have a certain amount of capital and want to increase that amount of capital, we should do a small comparison to find the plan we need. I think for people with small capital and willing to take risks, bitcoin should be the choice because its volatility will help us make significant profits.

investing in gold is for investors who are in it for the long-term however digital gold has a time limit for their holders but its price is mostly stable at the end of the day it all depends on your investment plans and goals you expect to meet

[Suzume]

At the time I will go for Bitcoin because we can see the market of Bitcoin halving is near and we all know that what going to happened. If you want to hold and earn then Bitcoin and it's the best time to hold. We can see the predictor and the price prediction. Watching all this go with Bitcoin. That's is the right time you are late but that's maybe a chance don't miss the bus.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

For me, i personally love bitcoin far more than gold, whether we are talking about gold in its digital forum or physical form, Gold is gold and bitcoin is bitcoin.
Gold is an investment I personally assume is reserved for the already rich people, as it is pretty difficult for the poor to invest in gold.

But bitcoin has no such monopoly because satoshi so designed bitcoin in such a manner that no body can Control it, or gain control over it in what ever form, this alone I believe gives bitcoin a good edge over gold, as both the rich and the poor can easily and conviniently invest in bitcoin when ever and how ever they want, based on this factor, I am personally looking forward to a day when bitcoin will become way bigger than gold in terms of popularity and financial market capitalization.

I think there is no significant difference between gold and bitcoin in terms of investment. The rich can invest and the poor can also invest in gold and Bitcoin. I don't think gold is reserved for rich people and poor people can't invest in it but in most countries of the world people who are poor also buy gold.Bitcoin is not controlled or monopolized by anyone, this is the unique feature of Bitcoin. It is also not easy for poor people to invest in it.

 If you look at the current price, it is not affordable for a poor person. Bitcoin is also monopolized by rich people because those with more capital can invest more in Bitcoin and hold more Bitcoin. How will those who have little or no capital cope with them? So in terms of investment, both gold and bitcoin are difficult for poor people, and rich people are easily occupying both places.

Considering the price of Bitcoin after all those disasters has been steadily gaining value, once we get into the clearing, Bitcoin will see an amazing growth once nothing is holding it back.

But for that to happen we really need to consider getting away from using decentralized money on centralized exchanges/platforms.

The ETF approval news will be huge, though. I suspect a very nice pump.

[mirakal]

Gold market existed long before BTC, sure its cap is way bigger. But majority of us here will prefer BTC of course, it couldn't really convince anyone to solely leave BTC and choose gold. It is not going to hurt the investor does have gold along with BTC.

Time is very uncertain now so whatever could happen, your survival depends on how much investment and the kind of investment you have. Gold can be paid to someone who doesn't understand BTC.

While it's a wise decision to invest in gold, but it will be a lot wiser if you both have bitcoin and gold in your portfolio. There's no distinction as they are both profitable and valuable in their own ways. However, it's undeniable that bitcoin offers the highest net proceeds compared to other investments, but the risk is certainly the highest and the scariest if you enter Bitcoin investment without prior knowledge and experience in the market.

The only advantage about bitcoin is when you have a good working strategy that will help you to sustain your investment, then you're good to go. You will gain exceptional profits compared to gold and other investments.

[STT]

gold exchange-traded-funds (ETFs)

They seem entirely irrelevant to me when most gold is physically held or used in Jewelry, reserves in mines etc.      We cannot compare such disparate resource types, one largely held physical and the other the oppisite.

I think it depends. I mean, diversifying our portfolio with gold and bitcoin is not wise. While that would make us a little safer, it would also reduce our profits. Because as you also said, bitcoin gives the best returns while gold is quite stable and no longer gives returns. So I think if our main goal is profit, and we don't have too much capital then we should invest completely in bitcoin instead of diversifying. That way we will get maximum profit. To be successful there need to be trade-offs, so I think it depends on each person.
Gold is just a store of value, not a potential investment.

[boyptc]

The only advantage about bitcoin is when you have a good working strategy that will help you to sustain your investment, then you're good to go. You will gain exceptional profits compared to gold and other investments.

That's right about Bitcoin, gains are way higher than of gold.

But about strategies, there's no need to talk about it. You buy Bitcoin and just as what people does with gold, they do nothing and hold it as well. The same goes with Bitcoin.

You hold and let bitcoin work on its own and you wait for the right time to sell and you take the profits.

I think holding bitcoin and gold will not be the same, holding bitcoin will be much more difficult than gold. In addition to risks from the internet such as hackers, the high volatility of bitcoin will also make us easily panic. And that is the main reason why many people cannot keep their bitcoins for long. Many people also have great faith in bitcoin, but when faced with black swans hitting the market, they will dump their bitcoin in panic. So I think, to be able to hold bitcoin until it makes a profit is not easy, it is much more difficult than holding gold. People think holding bitcoin is easy but in reality it is much harder than we think.

The only advantage about bitcoin is when you have a good working strategy that will help you to sustain your investment, then you're good to go. You will gain exceptional profits compared to gold and other investments.

That's right about Bitcoin, gains are way higher than of gold.

But about strategies, there's no need to talk about it. You buy Bitcoin and just as what people does with gold, they do nothing and hold it as well. The same goes with Bitcoin.

You hold and let bitcoin work on its own and you wait for the right time to sell and you take the profits.

Nice point.

There's a difference between holding gold and Bitcoin but you just do the same thing of holding it. So if there are other factors that need to be considered on how we're going to hold it varies.

That's the normal thing in bitcoin that we will face such market drops and pumps and that's part of holding it and someone who's into this for a long time is aware of it and treats it as nothing.

Volatility and decline are an integral part of bitcoin but not everyone understands or can tolerate it. Therefore, everyone needs to have complete knowledge when investing in bitcoin because only if we have knowledge and understand it well. That way, we can stay calm about bitcoin's short-term fluctuations.

Although holding bitcoin is much more difficult than holding gold, in return, if we can overcome those challenges, the rewards we receive are huge that investments like gold cannot bring. 

[ichsan ardi]

Bitcoin is a self-custodial entity where you can hold the units. In contrast to digital gold, reserves are only kept by the party issuing the gold securities. You are not allowed to withdraw it from their vaults, and the issuer of the security could be another risk factor in addition to the inherent volatility of physical gold.

I agree with your opinion with Bitcoin, we can claim our city's money, our own money, we control it without a third party, anytime, anywhere, we can send our assets, which is different from digital gold which is held by certain parties and cannot be transferred directly. disburse it whenever we want

[STT]

The idea of profiting from gold is slightly off, its purely just a metal a commodity and does nothing at all just sitting there as a metal.  The correct growth allocation or expectation for gold is just plain flat zero.

However to do nothing or be inert under pressure is useful, the world has many risks and obviously as FIAT grows weaker the gold appears to be rising in price even if its value is flat.   That is a use, if there is a growth in people requiring that use thats where I guess the idea of profit from gold occurs.  Long term we have to say its still a flat growth product, it never alters.

Holding BTC again I think it should be used actively in order for an expectation of gains, BTC by itself if not used imo is far less valuable then put into its best use remotely securely and enabling trade mostly of digital products is how I see its best purpose and so highest value.
   Purely holding BTC I would then be a commodity speculator, especially those who borrow funds in any way to hold BTC then they are forced into being speculators or traders with the costs of trading that should be expected.  Its a hard game to win and people blame BTC for that, the prices flies all over the place but thats the dollar price as the BTC itself didnt alter.  So the two assets do have this kind of dynamic in common.

Anyway I wanted to post this chart, its stocks [Dow Jones Index] but its over a century of history.   Gold is super long term and somehow BTC appears to have long term dynamics in its movements.  I dont often look at monthly bars on a chart but I do with BTC so its pretty long term in its moves imo.   This is an interesting chart with epic change in prices over so long etc.  much of this price change is a reflection of Dollar altering so substantially.
  If we discuss Dollar it was by the gold standard for a long time and the chart history is relevant to projections forward for any long term asset or commodity we want to discuss a Dollar price for imo.

When it comes to gold, it's a good idea to use physical gold directly so that we can control it ourselves and exchange it ourselves when we want directly at the nearest shops. Even though holding digital gold can also make it easier for us in certain things, for me physical gold is no less good in terms of price even though it requires a safe place to store it. As for Bitcoin itself, it is actually quite clear that there are already several wallets that have been recommended by previous people to store it properly so we only need to choose what wallet we like to put Bitcoin in.

Both are valuable resources.  As gold is popular among all, bitcoin is a little less known.  But both are valuable assets. We should invest more or less in both.  If you have enough money, I would say to buy gold. You don't have to be aware of any risk in buying gold. But in buying bitcoin, you have to have enough understanding about it and be aware of its risks.

Between bitcoin and gold i think bitcoin investment is a bit risky but there is a chance to gain huge amount of money by investing bitcoin. but gold is more popular than bitcoin for which everyone wants to invest in gold and keep the money as deposit. i thought to invest bitcoin along with gold.  You can never be successful if you don't take risks. To be successful, you have to invest with some risk, then you will see success.

Bitcoin and gold are actually good for hedging value rather than keeping money in the bank. However, if we talk about profits, of course bitcoin is better than gold. Bitcoin is still the best for long-term investment assets, indeed bitcoin is high risk, high return, the decline in assets can be tens of%, wait for the next halving, the asset will change to a return of hundreds or even thousands of%. Yes, what a crazy investment. The risk is to be mentally strong in bear market conditions, but at least only for 1-2 years.

In contrast to gold, in my opinion gold is not an investment instrument, but a hedging instrument, because the increase in gold prices is in line with inflation. so this doesn't make people rich but it keeps rich people rich, because it just protects their values.

I get why some folks throw money at Bitcoin, hoping to strike it rich.  No doubt, a lucky few have made out like bandits.  But for most people? The reality is you'll likely see modest returns at best. 

Now I ain't saying it can't pay off big time.  But, far as I can figure, most buyers are taking a massive gamble, crossing their fingers theyll turn a decent profit rather than get burned.

I think people who know about cryptocurrency most of the time prefer to invest in bitcoin than gold. But I think it is much safer to invest in gold than bitcoin. I like to invest in bitcoin even though there is some risk in bitcoin. That's why I invest in bitcoin most of the time.  When you see some amount of profit, you sell bitcoins. If you invest in gold, it is an asset.

Bitcoin is also the digital gold of today. In the olden days, most people used to invest in gold.Still both have their own importance.Gold investment is safer than Bitcoin but the rate of return is higher in Bitcoin. I think bitcoin investment is also safe, because no one but you knows how much bitcoin you have, and there is no outward appearance that anyone can take away from you. However, the importance of gold can't be denied, but I don't think there's as much risk in Bitcoin as people think it it.

Then risk is there only if you take the entry at the wrong time. So you should know the right time to buy. In every business there is always a guesstimate, people who buy without thinking are at high risk of loss. So the risk is not inherent in Bitcoin, but rather our own inexperience and ignorance that exposes us to the risk.

More or less we should agree that bitcoin as the digital gold for now.And even the gold can be traceable,but the bitcoin can’t be traced until you had mentioned your bitcoin address in any place.The bitcoin was the secured and untraceable gold in the digital form in the modern world.The return from the bitcoin investment will be likely 10-30 times of the gold investment result.Many gold merchants was get into the bitcoin for now by not sharing they was involved in the cryptocurrency investment.One gold merchant near my home also started their own trading in the crypto currency without the knowledge to their family.

The gold merchant also get into bitcoin now after knowing the importance of the bitcoin over the gold.The gold give more returns in the long run,but the gold merchant can get the hundred percentage of the deposited value equivalent dollars as return from the bitcoin trading.The bitcoin was the more demanded assets among the gold merchant and the bitcoin can be sold with profit all the time.

Yes, volatility of the price is the challenging thing in Bitcoin. If people don't understand it, it won't be easy to hold Bitcoin. That's why people must have knowledge, they must understand the price cycle every 4 years at least. People also must be aware that there are many FUDs in Bitcoin investment, so people must have strong mentality when they want to hold Bitcoin. It is a bit different with holding Gold, I don't see too many FUDs on the Gold investment. The price of Gold also looks quite stable, there is no big changes in the Gold price from one year to another year.

Sure, the volatility makes the chance for gaining bigger profits in Bitcoin. It is because the price of Bitcoin can skyrocket, it can increase very significantly. Gold will never offer this because the price is quite stable. IMHO, holding Gold is not so different with holding stable coins.

The connection between gold and bitcoin (BTC) as stores of value is obvious, and the demand for BTC as a digital store of value was a big reason why the cryptocurrency grew in popularity, crypto services provider Matrixport said in a report Monday.
Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $540 billion, equivalent to 10.8% of the market cap of physical financial gold, Matrixport said, adding that gold exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) are valued at $200 billion. Read

Definitely Bitcoin is better than gold. digital gold you are saying is still thesame thing as bitcoin. Reason why Bitcoin is better than gold is that:
1) bitcoin is more volatile than gold
2) Gold is a physical asset while bitcoin is a digital asset.
3) bitcoin can be traded online while Gold is traded offline.
4) Bitcoin can be used for payment across the nation but Gold is only a store of value which can not be used as online payment.
5) Bitcoin is limited in supply while Gold has not limited in supply. Because miners always mine gold everyday. So there is a possibility that it will one day be lesser in value when it has too much number in supply. Because the limited in supply of any given asset makes it to be more valuable and has a higher volatility. Creating more demand than supply.

[cozytrade]

Bitcoin and gold have different characteristics but both are very valuable assets to people. If the question is asked here, which one would you choose to invest in?  I will definitely choose bitcoin for investment. Because it is possible to get more profit from investing in bitcoins than gold. There is volatility in the Bitcoin market due to which the price of Bitcoin is fluctuating every moment. Because of Bitcoin's volatility, a large long-term investment in Bitcoin can yield multiple returns. As volatile as the price of Bitcoin is in the market, the price of gold is not as volatile. So now people prefer bitcoin more than gold for investment.

[Qiubell5]

Gold or bitcoin, both are excellent and high quality investment assets or stores of value. I will not deny it, because these two assets have been proven and many people have proven it. So if you compare gold and bitcoin, it will be difficult to choose which asset is superior. Because both are assets that already have a lot of trust, quality, and are also very well known to many people. However, if you look at the age of these two assets, gold existed before Bitcoin was created. However, what is surprising is that even though Bitcoin is still a new asset, its popularity has skyrocketed very quickly. So gold or bitcoin, I think both are valuable and very high quality assets. And there is not much comparison between the two assets.

Now both can be used for long-term investments by everyone, but when someone wants more profits from their investment, of course the choice will lead to Bitcoin and not Gold. But if an investor just wants to invest without thinking about more profits but prioritizes storing the value of his assets, of course the direction of choice is more suitable for Gold. So it can be concluded that both are equally suitable to choose, although in the end it always depends on what the investor himself wants when choosing one.

Personally, I prefer to invest in bitcoin over digital gold. Well, while both are good and valuable investments, I think the general person would choose digital gold over bitcoin. that's because most people in my circle prefer digital gold to bitcoin. The reason is because the price of bitcoin is very unstable, they are afraid to invest in bitcoin.
However, for people who already know about bitcoin, and its potential, I'm pretty sure they will be more likely to choose bitcoin. Additionally, I would probably consider real gold over digital. Well, both are good investments, the only difference is how we use them so that the investment has big profits for us.

But in buying bitcoin, you have to have enough understanding about it and be aware of its risks.

I wouldn't say that bitcoin's less known because it's already 13 years already and I think that's enough time for bitcoin to be spread across the Internet so I don't buy it that bitcoin isn't popular among the people of the Internet, maybe it's not yet as popular as gold but I'm sure that the gap is getting closer and closer every year. As much as I agree that both are valuable assets, I think that I would just stick to bitcoin because of the profit that you can get out of hodling it compared to hodling gold that grows in measly amounts compared to bitcoin, you're better off investing bitcoin because you're likely to keep it safe compared to gold where people would be able to steal it physically.

Bitcoin is already spread across to every part of the world and the only reason why most people are yet to venture is because they have know idea and see it as being of no need or maybe a scam like.

While Bitcoin is better than Gold, one should be able to understand the volatile nature of Bitcoin than that of Gold, if only Gold operates in volatility. Knowing that your investment over the years will deflate in price and still increase when the bull begins is extremely necessary and an advantage over Gold.

Holding physical gold is kind of safer than that of holding Bitcoin in wallet as your wallet might get hacked but in case of a physical Gold it can be duged and hidden or given to the bank to hold with concrete evidence and witnesses.

Bitcoin is a financial revolution, despite its volatility. Unlike established financial systems, this currency is decentralized. It embodies financial freedom; gold has stability and familiarity, but where's Bitcoin's excitement and revolutionary potential? Those who understand Bitcoin know it can disrupt and innovate. Being part of a financial evolution goes beyond price movements.

Your distinction between actual and digital gold is correct. But Bitcoin is a movement, not just a currency. It disrupts asset management and redefines it. Bitcoin is a strong statement of belief in a digital future, not merely an investment. The returns (while possibly lucrative) are only the cherry on top of this remarkable experience. Bitcoin is the future, and we're on board!

This is the choice of every investor, I also decided to invest in Bitcoin and I understood that perhaps this is a riskier investment, but it can bring me much greater profits in a shorter time. Even at this stage, I am glad that I still decided to invest in Bitcoin, this year turned out to be very successful for me and I expect even greater growth next year. If you compare these two assets in such a short time, it will be obvious which was more profitable.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, is traded all the time due to which the price of Bitcoin fluctuates constantly. And from here it is possible to make a lot of profit because of this. And another benefit we get from Bitcoin is that it is decentralized and has no transition limit so we can transfer funds as much as we want without any hassle and anonymously. so Bitcoin is much better than Digital Gold in all respects. and profitable

[shushu9977]

Bitcoin and Digital Gold are both good investment for future. I want to buy both if I have a lot of money. By the way, if I have 10000$, then I buy crypto 5000$, gold 2500$ and others 2500$ for bussiness. I am also love crypto than gold.

Ultimately it all comes down to one's own perspective on the matter.
We are free to do whatever we think is best and when the choice is already gold and bitcoin then indirectly we also certainly know what advantages and disadvantages can be obtained or maybe the advantages and disadvantages of these 2 assets so that after knowing this then we only need to weigh what we can afford and what we need now.
Apart from the many speculations that say bitcoin is better than gold or vice versa gold is better than bitcoin it comes back to our own judgement.
The most important thing is our focus whether we are ready with the choices we make or not because it is important after choosing which one we think is the best to make an investment because both are also good it's just that both bitcoin and gold they have advantages and disadvantages that certainly do not need to be explained in this case because we all know so think carefully about what you want to do with your money.

[oktana]

Well, your title seems to be different from the body of your post (I think). You said digital gold but it appears you are talking about gold in general. If you were doing a comparison between Bitcoin and gold, I’ll stand with Bitcoin because there are so many disadvantages of holding gold. The fact that it’s not liquid like Bitcoin, the procedure to check if it’s real, etc. But digital gold is entirely different. It is gold but digitalized in the sense you do not have to carry it around or go through much protocol as physical gold. So, comparing Bitcoin and Digital gold is a tough one because they are both great ways to store money/value.

[DYING_S0UL]

Bitcoin and Digital Gold are both good investment for future. I want to buy both if I have a lot of money. By the way, if I have 10000$, then I buy crypto 5000$, gold 2500$ and others 2500$ for bussiness. I am also love crypto than gold.

Both of them are good investment. Not just good the best investment there is. If I were you I would also do the same. Not sure about the $2500 part though.

$100 bill and $100 worth of gold may look the same of value. But they aren't. Paper money will be worthless one day. One the other hand, rare earth elements like gold, silver won't loss it's value. Gold market cap is massive compared to others.

As for bitcoin, there isn't much to say. Without any doubt's we can say it's a good investment. 

[wmaurik]

What you say is actually clear enough for everyone to understand and is clear enough about which choices each person who wants to invest should make. I have not forgotten both at all and also very often take both for my investment in the future, because I have also researched the advantages and disadvantages of these two assets in the past so I have considered both of them to be good and not bad to be used as long-term investment options

Apart from the many speculations that say bitcoin is better than gold or vice versa gold is better than bitcoin it comes back to our own judgement.

Referring to what you said, actually everyone can make their own choice for this matter, because both gold and Bitcoin are two assets that are quite well-known and good enough to be used as investments for everyone. But remembering that not everyone is able to take both at the same time, that's where it is necessary to make a choice that is most capable of being taken and what they want most, even though on different occasions, they can buy both at the same time for the same purpose.

Having both is good but if you have been in Bitcoin for quite a while, you got to choose what you know has the better return.
Not going against with your distribution but if I have that amount, I'll set aside Bitcoin first and let later on do my own business from the profits that I'll make from holding bitcoin.

I think it is natural that at this time everyone is starting to shift their investment to the most profitable thing. Perhaps many will say that the best investment is Bitcoin because it is very profitable compared to any investment currently in terms of profits obtained, although for other investments there are still lots of good ones.Having a wider variety of investments will certainly be better because there will be mutual coverage, but if the available funds are not enough, then the priority scale must be prioritized.If it's only $10K, I think I'll just focus more on Bitcoin because there's only a little time left to increase, and that opportunity would be wasted if you divided your investment into several parts.

Both of them are good investment. Not just good the best investment there is. If I were you I would also do the same. Not sure about the $2500 part though.

$100 bill and $100 worth of gold may look the same of value. But they aren't. Paper money will be worthless one day. One the other hand, rare earth elements like gold, silver won't loss it's value. Gold market cap is massive compared to others.

As for bitcoin, there isn't much to say. Without any doubt's we can say it's a good investment. 

Both gold and bitcoin are good investment but in the case of gold we buy it at higher value but when we sell it on the same rate then we don't recieve the exact amount therefore you will wait for years to make your investment of gold a better opportunity.

Bitcoin is more volatile than gold but if it comes to the success then success percentage of bitcoin is more than that of gold. Both gold and bitcoin are successful so diversification of investment in these two will be more worthy than putting money in one. Waiting is necessary for both type of Investment therefore self restraint can give you more profitable outcomes.

Yeah, the profit margin might be low in case of gold compared to crypto (by crypto I meant both Bitcoin and Altcoins), but the risks are much much higher if one doesn't understands crypto properly. The market can be too volatile. Yes, one could easily achieve success with Bitcoin, if he knew what he was doing. But I don't think gold is bad either. It doesn't loses it's value that easily. That's why the rich likes to convert their assets into gold.

At the end of the day, everyone has different perspective over gold and bitcoin.

[red4slash]

Ultimately it all comes down to one's own perspective on the matter.
We are free to do whatever we think is best and when the choice is already gold and bitcoin then indirectly we also certainly know what advantages and disadvantages can be obtained or maybe the advantages and disadvantages of these 2 assets so that after knowing this then we only need to weigh what we can afford and what we need now.

What you say is actually clear enough for everyone to understand and is clear enough about which choices each person who wants to invest should make. I have not forgotten both at all and also very often take both for my investment in the future, because I have also researched the advantages and disadvantages of these two assets in the past so I have considered both of them to be good and not bad to be used as long-term investment options

Everything can be done because it does not mean that when we are in one asset (between gold or bitcoin) then being in one of the others is a mistake but for now it seems that there are still many people who always think that when the choice is in bitcoin or gold is considered right then the choice opposite to their choice is wrong even though the concept is not like that.

Being in both is also a very possible choice but we must have more finances to be able to balance between the needs we do in everyday life and the investments we make to support our future because it is important if we cannot do this then it is better to focus on one.

Apart from the many speculations that say bitcoin is better than gold or vice versa gold is better than bitcoin it comes back to our own judgement.
The most important thing is our focus whether we are ready with the choices we make or not because it is important after choosing which one we think is the best to make an investment because both are also good it's just that both bitcoin and gold they have advantages and disadvantages that certainly do not need to be explained in this case because we all know so think carefully about what you want to do with your money.

Referring to what you said, actually everyone can make their own choice for this matter, because both gold and Bitcoin are two assets that are quite well-known and good enough to be used as investments for everyone. But remembering that not everyone is able to take both at the same time, that's where it is necessary to make a choice that is most capable of being taken and what they want most, even though on different occasions, they can buy both at the same time for the same purpose.

I still agree with this, but there are some considerations that we should certainly think about.
Being in just one of them sometimes we have trouble in managing our finances let alone trying to do both.
Maybe in this case there will be a lot of reasons from some people such as verification but for me it would be better to be in one of them and focus there rather than having to verify but end up with the chaos that is owned from the financial management that we have.

Yeah I think the real reason why we always compare bitcoin to gold is because of high potential return. It's been more 10 years, and we all know which gives a better return. We've seen and heard a lot of stories, these two assets are on top list. However, we do all have our own preferences when it comes to invest, by learning the pros and cons we can weigh which is which.

Not going against with your distribution but if I have that amount, I'll set aside Bitcoin first and let later on do my own business from the profits that I'll make from holding bitcoin.

I can't see his move the best but it is better than having none. Choosing gold actually is best if you are concern about the security, we know gold is getting more expensive per gram unlike Bitcoin that has a season, it would take so much time to get a wild profit though relatively you can also make millions in span of what, 6, 9 months. He can also do the other way around, the profit from business to capitalized on bitcoin which is more secure I think.

Disverification is great if you have more money to invest but I agree with what you're saying in this case.
When the finances that we do have are minimal then doing this verification actually makes the performance in investment not optimal.
Indeed, on the one hand this will be very good because we do not expect in one place because it is still in both but on the other hand this can also hamper you in making optimal efforts in making investments made.
For example in this case when we are in standard finance and choose bitcoin alone then surely our thoughts about investment will only be focused on bitcoin but if we have other options then our thoughts will branch out and this will interfere with investing because we are confused about where to put our money.
Instead of things like this happening, it would be better if the focus is in one place first if it is felt that we are able to control the investment there then there is nothing wrong with doing it in other places such as gold because it depends on our own choices in the end.

I guess that it's going to be part of the books of comparison at all times even if we go into another bull run. And with the preference of most here, it's obvious because we're not a gold forum.

Yup, any action and initiative is what makes someone do better than the other doesn't do anything. Nonetheless, his distribution is what he can afford to do and take the risk with.

Bitcoin and gold have different characteristics but both are very valuable assets to people. If the question is asked here, which one would you choose to invest in?  I will definitely choose bitcoin for investment. Because it is possible to get more profit from investing in bitcoins than gold. There is volatility in the Bitcoin market due to which the price of Bitcoin is fluctuating every moment. Because of Bitcoin's volatility, a large long-term investment in Bitcoin can yield multiple returns. As volatile as the price of Bitcoin is in the market, the price of gold is not as volatile. So now people prefer bitcoin more than gold for investment.

Now both can be used for long-term investments by everyone, but when someone wants more profits from their investment, of course the choice will lead to Bitcoin and not Gold. But if an investor just wants to invest without thinking about more profits but prioritizes storing the value of his assets, of course the direction of choice is more suitable for Gold. So it can be concluded that both are equally suitable to choose, although in the end it always depends on what the investor himself wants when choosing one.

What you explained can only be true for the investment aspect of Gold and Bitcoin, but when it comes to trading itself, Gold superseded Bitcoin in countless times. This is more reason why I prefer to trade it more often than Bitcoin, and if Bitcoin earned a good trader x10 of his capital in a safe trading of an entire year, Gold can give as much as x100, if not more. "Gold is more volatile than Bitcoin," but the issue is that those who do not have the fundamental knowledge of the financial market to know how pips and pricing work often mistake this. This is because they just jump to cryptocurrency, and to make matters worse, they will not want to learn but argue.

All markets in the world can be gauged in pips and pricing for fairness's sake, that is how one can truly know the actual market performances. And by pricing, Gold has cheated itself from the beginning, because if Gold is priced also like Bitcoin, by virtue of its market capitalization of over $13 trillion, it should have had a value over x16 times that Bitcoin right now. This is why the comparison of it with Bitcoin is not always imperfect, and a reason why traders/investors should just go for the one that best pleases them instead of comparing. Or deal with both.

Both are assets, nothing to compare here.  Just like bitcoin is a good place to invest, gold is also a good medium to invest.  But gold has been reigning for a long time. Whoever has a large amount of money to invest, he must invest in gold, because gold is nothing compared to gold.  but BTC is very reliable way to invest. There is no risk of losing money. It's a little long time process and you can invest as much money as you want.  You don't need huge amount of money to invest here.  Expect BTC investors to gain more after the bull run.

I have invested in bitcoins and now I am thinking of selling them after the price of bitcoins goes up and buying gold with some money. I will buy bitcoins again with the remaining money and wait to buy when the price of bitcoins is dumped. I think bitcoins.  And if you keep investing in gold, you will get good things.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

       -   Isn't Bitcoin considered the digital gold in this industry? Now, why did he do this in the topic OP did? I'm just wondering, although I do believe in gold investment, just not in digital gold. But I believe that Bitcoin is the digital gold in the cryptocurrency world.

Although, for now, I have not become the majority of bitcoin as a form of investment so that I can get a big profit in the coming bull market after the halving in April next year. But Bitcoin is really good long-term, as long as you invest in it for at least 1 bitcoin or more.

I don't know how important gold is for investment but I think Bitcoin is the best. As much as I think it is better to invest in Bitcoin instead of gold. I think only people who have no experience with Bitcoin will want to invest in gold.But those who have experience and know about Bitcoin are sure to invest in Bitcoin instead of gold. Like you I am investing a little bit in bitcoins and I am investing through dollar cost averaging (DCA) every week. My invested bitcoins I'm not thinking about selling yet My invested bitcoins I want to hold for a long time and I will.
