Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick?

[avw1982]

For long term investment,I may take gold but Bitcoin is quite a volatile investment and that makes it an appealing choice for those who want to gain in the short term. I would say gold and bitcoin are going to go up in value since they are both deflationary currencies.

I think bitcoin it is great for long-term investment bitcoin will increasingly spread its wings and will emerge stronger certainly getting the bitcoin prices will further increase. the future price of bitcoin will be high
gold has reached the point of maximum dude

Yeah its better investing with bitcoins. You can trade bitcoins and spend it without problems. With gold you will need investing with investor banks or trade companies, and also there is a cost of storage and redeem cost. With bitcoins you have no cost of storage you store your bitcoins.

i think that I would choose for real gold because if I am right gold always goes up in value. Bitcoin might be worth more but it takes so long and you are not sure if the value is going to be high it can also go down.

[rektDude]

of course i would pick the gold instead of the bitcoin the bitcoin would be much worth in the future but for now its crap i dont need to buy things right now with coins i just hold them for a couple years and sell them by then.

I would probably pick up the gold for this much have the highest value on market this is according to my own thoughts. There are a lot things that can exchange gold and you can even exchange them and divide them into different parts which will include the investment on market this will definitely make the money you have much bigger than expected. Gold is a very precious stone that never fades up to now and will always stay up to the future and lasted for centuries.

very good to choose gold, especially if you invest your money in a very long time. one thing is certain of gold, the price will remain high. but I prefer bitcoin for several reasons

Gold will not give you huge profits and if it can give you then you really need to wait for a long time, but with bitcoin you can expect that even in short term.

it all depends on capital, if you invest with a large capital in gold, could certainly benefit greatly as well. but in your bitcoin does not require a large amount, as long as you have a good strategy, You can benefit greatly.

That's the difference, in gold you need to have at least a decent capital to earn because you cannot transact it everyday unlike the bitcoins where you can use it in trading everyday and even double your money in an our.

I would pick the bitcoin above gold because you have to wait a long time with gold before you can gain a lot of profit otherwise its not worth it to invest in the gold.

It depends on what you consider to be a long time. When it comes to traditional investments people are happy if they get a return of around 10% in a single year. I know that a lot people in Bitcoin aren't happy at all with just a 10% increase in a year, but it just shows how spoiled we are.

You hit it right in the head. Sometimes, we become too greedy that we are expecting the price to skyrocket by more than 10% in a short period of time, and anything below that is a disappointment. Heck, sometimes out of greed, we even resort to scams in hopes of quick return on investment.

To be honest, if people only have a decent money to start trading bitcoins or buying gold they will treat this business realistically, but unfortunately not all have that money so we are just hoping for a skyrocket price to gain.

buy some bitcoin then holding for long time is good way if he have only small capital to start it.
but for me buying altcoin is better way to get biggest gain, if you can buy at perfect time and sell it in perfect time too you will get more gain in short time.

[FabioDelcatto]

I would pick of course Bitcoin and that is because Bitcoin will also longer exist than Gold and that is the problem of gold that you cant spend it online and that is bad.
But people have to know that the value of Bitcoin is also really hard to predict for what will happen.

Gold have existed so long we are not even alive when it was discovered. That wont take out its value just like that. It will exist still longer that bitcoin for human always look for something to touch. And they see that in gold.

It's a fact that people prefer to have something physical instead of something they can't hold in their hands or touch, but they don't realize that Bitcoin is much safer to hold as you can easily store your coins in a paper wallet, or save wallet backups into USB sticks. It's quite common for people with plenty of Gold to bring everything to a bank so that they can take care of it. It once again makes them not have any control over their wealth.

I would pick gold above bitcoins and thats not that i dont have bit coins but i dont think that bitcoins will be such big as normal gold you know so i dont want to lose all my gold just for coins so im still using gold

There is NOT really all that much tungsten filled gold out there.  Especially in coins.  Tungsten has the highest melting point of all elements and is also very hard, ref:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten

The hardness and high melting point of tungsten make it unprofitable, for now anyway, for even the Chinese to make counterfeit gold.  They have made fake US$5.00 gold pieces (out of gold) as "numismatic" pieces (fake dates & mint-marks, which they would hope to sell for 10 times as much because it is a "rare coin").

IMO it will be years before we have to worry about counterfeit Gold Eagles.  Counterfeiting Gold Eagles would invite a Secret Service investigation (Eagles are Legal Tender), not that our Secret Service is, erm, aggressive about going after foreign counterfeiters (eg, N. Korea and their fake $100 bills).

But, the time will be coming soon that gold bars will be counterfeited more.  There is a YouTube video out there where an employee of Heraeus (Germany) caught a 500 gm gold bar salted with tungsten.

off course everyone would pick the gold above bitcoins. Bitcoins are quiet big the past view years but they are also a risk. Because of the many people who are interested into it. It make in dangerous to pay with coins.

Gold will always shine in long run, but thinking of short term  I think bitcoin can help us in the best way, we can keep on making profits from bitcoin till its alive.

I cannot see any scenario where gold will drop to $300 per Oz. But I easily can see how BTC can go to $100

That is all about your short term investement

[Altynbekova]

I would go for the bitcoin because the bitcoin right now has a better future on a short time and I do not like to wait on profit and with gold this is the point.

If you want to make quick profits then you should invest in bitcoin as it will help you in best possible way, earning profits from gold is time consuming process.
