Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick?

[markj113]

I would like to pick both one and the other are good

I think we not need save gold hereafter because if we save gold as a jewellery savings or bar. When we wish to resale it will not according to the market rate. So many reduction in gold. But bitcoin is not like whenever you sell you can get the market value and if you save it will increase for sure in future

I would disagree, I can buy gold 3% over spot and easily sell for the same rate on forums or eBay or at spot to most dealers.

Jewellery is different with large mark ups.

With bitcoin there is still a buy/sell spread e.g localbitcoins

gold is certainly more guarantees. but bitcoin is much more irresistible. with prices fluktuaktif we can easily achieve a profit there. bitcoin is better than gold.

[wikenpp]

For me it's gold right now.
Gold is known by many people and we all know it's worth.

In time bitcoin will get the same reputation, but these days i chose for gold.

[Scorpian]

Neither. i would go for silver in the long run.

[Junko]

For me, Bitcoin all the way. It's been doing well for me so far.

What you are saying is correct but we are not aware about the future and we don't know that would be the future of bitcoin, as gold is traditional and in existence since many years people have more faith in gold as compared to bitcoins so it is better to diversify the investments and invest in both.

You can't walk for with a large amount of silver. The question was also very simple.. btc or gold lol but yes silver is always looking good to me as well.

Neither. i would go for silver in the long run.

Well that depends how much gold I can walk away with and would it be to much to not be able to walk.
If so then the easy and simple choice would be btc.
To be honest I would pick btc anytime as it is much easier to hold and keep safe and if the time came where I wanted gold I could simply buy it with btc.

Gold is way better since you can trade it online and offline with many people.
A shopowner will accept gold if they want to make a sale, but that same shopowner willnot take bitcoin, since most of them don't know what it is.

[tommypug]

I typically would stick with bitcoin, Gold is so easy to fake you never know if you are going to get ripped off or not.

i would choose bitcoin as in my opinion it gives more opportunities to make money

[oblomov]

BTC or Gold?

I have both, but if I had to choose one, it would be BTC.

The financial technology available in BTC-denominated accounts is more advanced than what is available to US customers for FX or equity trading.

Also, gold used to be tradable at most FX dealers for US customers, but the Frank-Dodd financial regulations put an end to this.

On the basis of transaction cost and liquidity, BTC has an advantage over gold.

I would have to choose gold... For now anyway.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Interesting answers.  Personally I'd probably take gold just because it's physical, something that can be touched and held onto and looked at.  Gold really is a beautiful metal and some gold coins are just breathtakingly pretty.  If you've ever seen one of those .999 US Buffalo coins up close, they're amazing.

And bitcoin is bitcoin.  Though I like it, it's something different entirely.  It's also far more volatile than gold in terms of price, which can be scary at times.

Yes the Bitcoin in now the new gold for every one. before people fight, love and do business in gold now the time has come to use bitcoins every where , to buy or sell anything in bitcoins. Its really feel good if we have more bitcoins then Gold. so I will chose Bitcoin.

The market caps tell a different story.

All the people with real money, central banks and countries still back gold.

Who use Bitgold? It's a centralized system that nobody trust. You can't trust them systems and compare to a legit cryptocurrency and one of the world's oldest store of value.
As a long term investment I always choose Bitcoin but it also feels good to have some gold in your stash.

give it time, bitcoin is still too young, i doubt gold has the same market cap of 6T 100 years ago

bitcoin is still in beta remember...

[dk8218]

As always I choose bitcoins always...
And it depends on mind of a person...
Gold is also increasing and decreasing in price but... not much as btc in last year..
And bitcoin prices are also fluctuating..
One is digital and another is physical..
And both have pros and cons...
