Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick?

[Ziskinberg]

Nowdays bitcoin is very promising and i am a bitcoin user, so why not to try invest on it if it's possible? You can invest in gold at any moment cause it's stable.

Definitely, it is just a matter of timing, and now is the timing to invest with bitcoin as it is still in the early stage and for early adopters we are guaranteed a good reward once we invest now and the outcome of the future is great.

Bitcoin, for convenience and for the possibility of long-term gains.

[Yakamoto]

Probably both gold and bitcoin but dont forget about silver.

why would you want to buy gold and silver while bitcoins is a way better technology and it is the thing that allows people to make big money fast

As said by other people on the thread, there is more value in precious metals because they have been able to have a lot of the same value over the past long length of time. A lot of them have gone up in value. While Bitcoin is better for moving a lot of money, the value fluctuates very rapidly and is honestly not as stable as everything else and could end up losing you more money than whatever you gain from investing in it. It all depends on the timing.

Well, that is the possibility but if you really believe in bitcoin you would not think that it will fail in the future, you should be very optimistic so you could put a decent amount for your investment but bear in mind that you could also lose and be ready to accept it.

Because gold and silver have been around a lot longer than bitcoin and are proven stores of value while have a fairly consistent and stable price range in comparison to bitcoin.I said both gold and bitcoin.

[pocarime32]

If bitcoin have stable price i will pick bitcoin, but the price of bitcoin can changed easily, so i pick gold for now. Because it's good for long term investment.

Gold and Silver have been a great store for value for at least 10.000 years.

That means that we should be stubborn and just keep on sticking with the trend ? I think a trendsetter is more important and better than trend copier anyways I prefer bitcoins much more than gold or any other physical asset.

You should use the volatility in your advantage if you have enough trading skills. That's when traders make the best profits.

I am quite sure that if you buy Bitcoin at current prices that you'll definitely get to enjoy seeing your coins go up in value in the coming years.

You just need to make sure you are not sensitive to the price falling down hard. If you have yourself under control, then you can keep holding without selling too early or in panic.

yeah bitcoin has a high price fluctuations that bitcoin prices can rise and fall quickly. maybe if you were not lucky you'll get a low price dude
I think if you're not willing to take that risk. better to choose investments with low risk like gold because gold havent volatile price

in fact gold have higher risk too, look at the gold price today, look the 1year chart, the gold price rising more percent at this year.
if you want to interest without risk you can choose bank for asaving your money

For me choose only of what you can afford to invest, for me i choose bitcoin because i can invest even small amount of money while in gold you can not invest with only $100 even a piece of gold you can not buy that amount to gold.

BTC

[junder]

do you like high risk? you can a choice bitcon, you know high risk high return
gold is better to holding it for the longterm for the future investment.

[risatrakib]

i would pick Bitcoin
Because bitcoin is gold

[bitgolden]

i think i can only pick bitcoin, i do not like gold. my wife oftne demand for gold jewelry she already have some but i am not in favour of gold, i think we are just hanging our money while buying infect i will always give preference to bitcoin but bitcoin is a good source of income and in present time it i a good opportunity to invest in bitcoin,

I would also choose bitcoins over gold mainly because gold has snail like hike in prices every week while with bitcoins we all know within 6 months it always reach a peak value of 800-1000$ at least if not more.

[Kotone]

i think that in this day in age and the way bitcoin is going. i would rather have bitcoin.  i think with how technology is advancing theres a good chance 1 btc = 1oz of gold soon enough

Gold has been used even the first century while bitcoin is just a 5 year old currency. If bitcoin and gold has the same amount of price today. Well Ill just pick gold . Why ? Because I can store my gold in my own storage, not on other online wallets like bitcoin wallets. And also I can store my gold in such a way that I can barely even use 10 Years from now. So as I have said, It would be better if I pick gold rather than Bitcoin. But your pick is good enough.

[Kotone]

Yes, Bitcoin can be a gold thou but you cannot use bitcoin after 10 years. But gold can. For example, if you store your gold in your own storage and your bitcoin store in your storage wallet, you can't use your bitcoin after 10 years but gold can.

where are the people showing how much better Gold and Silver performed the last couple weeks?

Most people on this forum have no concept of :

1) Market caps
2) How gold is actually performing
3) How easy it is to buy/sell gold
4) Its not a good idea to have all your wealth in bitcoin
5) The people that run the world buy gold for a reason

Another exchange hacked yet again and down bitcoin price goes.  People keep harping on that digital is more secure than physical, is there an exchange that hasnt been hacked?

Gold is good but the depends on how you see it, if you see it as a jewelry then you will not make money from it. Gold is a better investment than bitcoins because it is stable and the price is increasing consistently so the future is great if you will hold it.

Gold is actually more risky than bitcoins as an investment. You are always worried that your gold may be robbed but with bitcoins just set a 2 factor authentication and then you are worry free and know that your bitcoins will only grow in prices and no worry of being them stolen.
