What ?

Buying BTC 20 years ago like really, I wasn't aware of the 20th anniversary of Bitcoin, as far as I know in my newbie knowledge base Bitcoin first traded in Jan 2009.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyway buddy be sure before taking any decision as Gold is stable you've said it yourself, Bitcoin is a risky investment market asset, and it is highly volatile, as you cant be sure as you are buying on right time or not so if you want to make some investment never go for all in once, adopt DCA in order to manage risk while accumulating, ahh I won't bore you with DCA and hybrid strategies description people discussed it tons of times you can find those topics I will add in the edit of this post if possible.

Note: Do not take any action, on someone's advice or in greed take your time and study both first in basics then start making up your mind. I'm a Bitcoin fan but it's your valuable asset don't just waste/risk it on someone's recommendation. Because profit and loss are all yours.


Edit:
Some of my topics might help you, I won't say read my posts just have the overview of the discussion of the thread you'll get the different views of people.

Bitcoin is having high market cap now. Do not expect the price to continue to rise at it increased in the past. But it can still be an asset that its value can be increasing just like gold. I prefer bitcoin because I am more secure with it because I can protect my coins than something physical like gold.

To be honest, I don't see it that way. I put the same effort into protecting my private key/mnemonic code as I do for my physical gold. I think you have to, because both mean immense financial damage in the event of unauthorized access.

The mnemonic code/private key is probably even more difficult to protect, as a software or hardware vulnerability (e.g. in Ledger's code) would also enable an attack via the Internet. This is of course not the case with gold, where an attacker would actually need physical access to the safe deposit box, the vault or the mattress under which the gold is stored.

Gold will give me stress. Or I can save it in places that will charge me money as service fee. Bitcoin is the opposite. I can easily create 2 of 3 multisig wallet, or go for a hardware wallet that is airgapped or airgapped wallet like Electrum cold storage and use passphrase with it. This is far more easier than protecting gold. I can have bitcoin without going out of my home and no one will know I have it.

No

If I have huge amount of bitcoin, I will get a airgapped hardware wallet, get a software wallet and create 2 of 2 multisig. This is far easier than protecting gold. Or get 2 airgapped hardware wallets and 1 software wallet to create 2 of 3 multisig.

Thats a good and you will be right.
But of course I would also say bitcoin, but a little gold you can also have, so I would also buy a little gold. But the majority in bitcoin, of course. And digital gold will continue to develop from year to year and more and more people will get to know bitcoin and buy it. If you look at the last 10 years, that is exactly whats happened and it is that what happen in the next few years. So in the long term you should own bitcoin if you ask me, but Im also on a bitcoin forum and I like bitcoin. But you can also buy cars and sell them in 10 years and speculate with them, but bitcoin is cheaper over the years, so bitcoin will be the easiest way and the best way.

yes, but some experts, also the Rich dad poor dad author meaning it will reach the million dollar mark. What do you think guys?

You first have to understand the difference in making an investment in gold and that of having it on bitcoin, then you could place priority on which one you want as you best see its relevance, but let me put you through in some little way i understand for their difference.

1. Gold dis a physical asset while bitcoin a digital asset of investment

2. Bitcoin is volatile and gold is fixed

3. Gold is centralized while bitcoin is decentralized

4. bitcoin is more profitable than gold if invested on both

5. Gold has no fixed supply while bitcoin have a fixed supply

Its now over to you in choosing which you want.

[ajiz138]

If you don't want any risk then choose gold, if you want to have a high chance choose bitcoin quite simply.

Bitcoin did not exist 20 years earlier, bitcoin has only been here for 14 years.

You can do your own research which one you need, of course if you ask here everyone will say bitcoin including me, because some of the assets I have are in bitcoin, gold is just jewelry worn by my wife.

What kind of crazy development of bitcoin can you talk about if you don’t even know when it arose / appeared?

Gold is more stable I know.

Stable in what? The fact is that the value of this almost does not change, and sometimes even depreciates.

It seems your awareness is insufficient here too.

Guys I dont know what to do, should I invest in Gold or Bitcoin.

First, start investing in knowledge.

Imagine how much money would have to flow into the market for bitcoin to reach $1M - surely that's not a small amount, right?

Of course, you can be that optimistic if you have already bought or have bitcoin in your wallet - so your job is just to secure your wallet and wait for the estimated price. It will take you a long time to get bitcoin worth $1M per coin - it's never as simple as you imagine. Personally I don't believe bitcoin will be worth $1M per coin yet - that's too high to be true in the next few years.

You're asking "bitcoin or gold", on Bitcointalk — a Bitcoin-centric community forum. The question makes as much sense as asking "Donald Trump or Joe Biden?" on a pro-Trump/MAGA Facebook group. What answer are you really expecting to get?

Are you willing to go with people advice? If yes then make sure you also use your own justification together with people’s opinions to make the right choice because both of them are important.

I know that hold is an old investment item that many people believe in and it’s paying very well, most of the real gold investors are making it big. But getting into it newly, you need to be cautious because there are fake golds everywhere and if you are not into it, you will never know.
While Bitcoin investment is also risky since it is not physical investment, but if you follow the right measure and approach, you will find it easy because it is less stressful and you will not use any physical storage space that will attract theft and you also don’t need a third party to sell whenever you need money.

Invest wisely; there are fake golds, but nothing like fake Bitcoin.

..... imagine if you have bought it before 20 years...

Honestly, I really can't imagine that, because Bitcoin is not yet 20 years old.

Guys I dont know what to do, should I invest in Gold or Bitcoin

Even if you ask in this forum, I will answer simply like this:
If you have more money, why not both?
buy gold and also buy Bitcoin.
So you can gain benefits from both and this can be one way of diversifying investment, right? Yes, it's like optimizing the benefits of both, and so you don't regret choosing only one. And of course, so you don't get confused anymore, guys.

Well, not necessarily. I mean, yeah it would probably take a ton of cash, but think about it like this - there is only a few slices of pizza left in the box.  If someones super hungry and wants a slice, they would totally pay more, right? Even if the first few pieces went for dirt cheap, the price skyrockets for those last few precious slices.  Bitcoins got a limited supply too, so same idea.  More peeps trying to buy in, particularly the high rollers could make the price explode.

Your asking the right question in the wrong place my friend. I don’t see how you would be in a Bitcoinforum and be expecting that anyone advice you against taking Bitcoin investment for a Gold alternative. It’s what you wouldn’t get so, you might as well take that to social media to get diverse ideas from various persons whom might not be Bitcoin enthusiasts like the rest of us on here.
Personally, I’ve not had the thought of taking gold for an investment since i discovered Bitcoin and the potentials it’s got. Gold has got time on it but, the technology behind Bitcoin speaks of a futuristic currency, more than I can say for gold. Let’s not forget it’s history and how it’s been able to surpass all odds to make a point.

Both are good investments but investing in gold is definitely less risky than Bitcoin. If both are considered 20 years from today then it can be said with guarantee that profit will come from gold but no one can guarantee that profit will come from Bitcoin. But if someone wants to invest in bitcoin with risk then he can but that investment should be long term.

The Bitcoin vs Gold debate is more like the Ronaldo vs Messi one. It has enthusiastic fanatics on both sides, so at the end of the day, you just follow your gut.
If you are purely into investment and look at the price growth of Bitcoin from its inception vs Gold in the same period. It's quite clear the Bitcoin beats Gold. You can look up the charts on TradingView

I would like you to also watch this 12-minute short video on Twitter. It gives you an insight on how money has evolved and on why Bitcoin might still have a brighter future lying ahead - https://x.com/goyimgrant/status/1703568465758441934

I think both will be a good investment. As youve said, gold is much more stable, which means there is a little volatility or movement in the market, and that is the beauty of bitcoin. As it is volatile, you can see many different opportunities to enter the market. If you know how to navigate and take advantage of that volatility, then you are good. You could earn a lot in bitcoin, and of course bitcoin is subject to long-term holdings. So if you just want to chill and want your money to grow even if you are not doing anything, just letting it sit there, then holding is a good choice. Instead of letting your money in savings in the banks with a low interest rate, why not just put some in bitcoin? You will see how good it is. But of course, it's not that easy to do. I mean, you should, of course, know how to invest in bitcoin and know the fundamentals and basics so that you can see a good entry in the market for a long time.
