Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick?

Diamonds can be produced perfect as fuck and cheap as shit, but this doesn't in the least affect the price of brilliants

Lab created diamonds do not have the same physical properties as natural stones and can be identified as such.  For that reason they can't be accurately compared to the creation of gold.  However, the advancements in the 80's in this field have allowed companies to recently start popping up that use lab created diamonds for things like cutting blades.  I imagine the industrial users of diamonds will eventually be using nothing but lab created diamonds to save on costs.

Fun fact:
There are those that believe the Great Pyramid of Giza was actually a nuclear power plant used to produce gold and that the Ark of the Covenant was the radioactive generator.  Additionally, this power plant is speculated to have provided wireless power to devices miles away (an idea later demonstrated by Nikola Tesla).  Russia is even experimenting with this technology today.

Good. Gimme more

There are those who believe this would be proven as true if the Ark could be located and confirmed as being radioactive.  There are also people who believe the Ark could be hidden on a mysterious island in the north Atlantic.

Gold can be produced, and alchemy is real to an extent.  There is a lab that uses nuclear power to create gold.  The issue is that it currently costs $4,000 per gram to make and production capacity is extremely limited.

Would that gold then be radioactive thus not ideal to create a ring for the future wife unless she is well insured

You can always add impurities to make artificial diamonds look like natural ones if that was your point. Lab grown diamonds can be as perfect as what nature manufactures - just a perfect crystal of pure carbon...

In the world of jewelry the only inexpensive alternatives to natural diamonds until synthetic alternatives emerged were cubic zirconium and moissanite, which bear some visual resemblance to diamonds. But these stones have a molecular structure completely different from that of diamonds, and the visual differences between the two types are easily detected. Only in the past decade has technology allowed the manufacturing of synthetic diamonds of high quality. Today it is possible to make colorless synthetic gemstones that, on a molecular level, are identical to natural stones and so visually similar that only a gemologist with special equipment can tell the difference

I would invest in gold, because I would feel better owning something physical.

You are pretty right about this and I also think a lot of people would like it more because of this reason you are telling.
I would consider to do it both because I think they are both good for in the future, gold is good for long terms and bitcoin for both terms, short and long.

[Blackmet]

If i will have equal amount of both i will pick gold i think, cause i will never lose it also price is stable and hight.  bitcoin is also good, but my choise is stable price.

And the price of gold doesn't fall, it is always going up to longer you have it, the price appreciates and became more expensive.
Unlike price of bitcoin sometimes up, sometimes down. I would like also to jump on gold.

If you have great level of patience then you should invest in gold and if you are looking for quick profits then bitcoin is the best option available at a moment.

Gold is stable since a long time and it will be stable in future too, so if you don't want to experiment with your investments then you should invest in gold.

I think it's an experiment you're trying better to gain on bitcoin. because the price of bitcoin has high fluctuations so you can do experiments in bitcoin certainly in a short time.
yeah gold will always be stable That's why gold is more secure

Sure gold is more secure but not as profitable as bitcoin, as you can see in the above picture bitcoin accomplish in 4 years what gold did in decades.

Every one of us here has own it's preferences on how will it going to be used. I would still choose bitcoin because in terms of digital it is now easy to earn just by doing tasks and services unlike gold you need to mine it physically and it's more expensive due to buying and using their hardwares.

[BombayChicken]

If i need to pick between these two things i would pick just gold. Because gold is necessary for
everything not just only for buying things but for all kind of things paying rents of as sample.

I will choose Bitcoin and the reason why I choose Bitcoin is that everything will getting more online and that is nice and you cant pay online with gold and that is the problem.
But Bitcoin is also becoming more acceptable and that is perfect for the currency.

bitcoin is easy to spend it, sending, receiving, buying , selling .
i think the digital investment is more secure and high chance to growing .

[Adrorecia]

I prefer to buy things with gold because i don't trust the coin so much. I bought just one thing with the coin
and i never received the product and i cant get my coins back so i want warranty so im using gold.

[InsideBjorn]

I would pick the gold for now but in the future i will maybe pick the bit coin only if he grows
that big. There is coming a bright future for the bit coin that is what everybody know. How long it takes
don't know...

I think you should think the other way, choose bitcoin for now and gold will always take care of your investment in future, as this is the best time to invest money in bitcoin.

[flounderella]

I recently sold 2/3rd of my bitcoins when prices hit above $460. By sold I mean, exchanged for American Eagle coins. I think Bitcoin/USD price can still go up but in general I've been pretty disappointed by all the infighting. Will keep the 1/3rd for now but don't anticipate buying more unless something major changes in how things are done, agreed, and fixed

[tigershark]

Bitcoin is a newer type of investment and is still somewhat unknown.  I think it has potential to make bigger gains.
