[Fun time again] Bitcoin or Gold?

[FanEagle]

So far in this poll most people have voted for Bitcoin and only 1 vote for Gold. Anyway we know Bitcoin is more volatile than Gold, so Bitcoin rises and falls faster than Gold and investing in Bitcoin can be expected to get higher returns than Gold so my best choice is Bitcoin and I like to keep some money in Gold as well. We know Bitcoin price reached $126k which was not far from $150k. Anyway I believe Bitcoin price will reach $150k before Gold price reaches $9000.

To be fair that is obvious because bitcoin is far superior when it comes to making you money on the long run. Gold is not a bad investment by the way, that is why people still do own gold and that makes sense, nobody can deny the fact that it is a good investment, if you really want to get like even a gram of gold every month that is good enough and you should do that.

But the sad thing is that we are not going to get the same thing over and over again all the time, we are going to get worse results and we should be careful about it. Bitcoin is better because while it may have big bear periods where the prices do go down, it is not going to be staying down for too long and it will go up, so we should not be worried about it we can see that as something good.

I know most of us will know which asset between the two will first attain 2x, but let us just have the fun.

Will bitcoin first get to $150000 before gold gets to $9000?
Assuming bitcoin marketcap will first get to $3 trillion or gold will first get to $63 trillion?

The question is very similar.

Both are stores of value and hedge against inflation, but one is more of an investment than the other if you need higher RoI.

The winner is less overvalued relative to its fundamentals (reputation).

I just voted for Bitcoin, and surprisingly, two people voted for gold. It would be great to hear the reasons why they believe gold will outperform bitcoin in the near future.

Because how can an asset known for stability and with such a massive market cap outperform a smaller and more volatile one?

Gold prices are certain to reach $9k due to inflation and geopolitical instability driving up demand. But the idea of it doubling before Bitcoin does is not very realistic.

I can't predict which will first but I believe Bitcoin will get to $150,000 and gold gets to $9,000. I voted Bitcoin because this becomes more popular and a new type of investment. Both will becomes the choice for those who cares about saving their wealth and as hedge against inflation and as we are in Bitcoin community, many will choose Bitcoin but they will also use gold as their investment.

We can not say anything with certainty because we are talking about the future. But looking at historical performance, market cycle, market cap, volatility...bitcoin clearly has the edge over gold when it comes to return.
This is not just because we are Bitcoin investor or this is a Bitcoin forum and therefore biased toward it, but that is what the data and history have shown. Gold need decades to double in value, while bitcoin has done it multiple time within a single cycle.

I know a lot of non-crypto investors, and they prefer either deposits in state-owned banks, or simply keeping their savings in dollars. They do not choose any of the options suggested by the author of the topic. They don't believe in crypto because they think it's a big hoax, and they don't invest in gold because: first of all, physical gold is inconvenient and there's a huge spread between selling it (buy to sell), but they're afraid to buy gold from banks, which is indicated only by a ticker, because it's clear to everyone that these are just numbers on the screen.

This is all just pointless speculation people. I will always prefer BTC over gold myself, but gold will probably always be the superior asset for majority of the world due to which the chances of it doubling before BTC are higher if you ask me.

Both assets will keep rising in price over time thanks to the supply and demand logic which is what truly matters at the end of the day.

I do not think people who deposit money in bank or save it in foreign currency can be called investors. It is more like a form of safe saving than actual investing anyway.

Moreover, I find it quite contradictory that they are willing and comfortable depositing money in bank, but are afraid to buy gold from those same banks. That sounds rather inconsistent. If you trust banks enough to deposit your money, why would not you trust the gold they sell?

This is the reason inflation will significantly reduce the value of the money many people have in banks, but they will be blaming the government. I do not let the interest on the fiat too encourage me when I know that I can invest the money on bitcoin and make many more money from it than saving in the bank.

Not that you do not think, it is the fact. If you are saving money in bank, that is not an investment and it is only called savings
