Easy choice. I always go for Bitcoin. Bitcoin is innovative technology. Gold has nothing to do with tech.

Picture this. You get approached on the street and offered a straight deal: walk away with Bitcoin or walk away with gold of the same value. If given a choice to walk away with either Bitcoin or gold of equivalent value, what would you pick? Asians and Westerners were asked in Taipei in Chinese and English if they would take Bitcoin or gold home with them that day, and the answer might surprise you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6GiC8dqN9AWe just shot a video outside the Taipei 101 skyscraper area here and gave people a chance to answer if they would walk away with either Bitcoin or gold- and why. If you were approached and were offered the same deal, would you walk away with Bitcoin or gold in your pocket, and why??? I would say 50% of each. Both of them are investments that guarantee wealth. I would simply spend the gold, but hold onto my Bitcoins.

BTC because I'd have no way to verify the gold but I would be able to verify the authenticity of the BTC. I used to be involved in the jewelry business, and I can assure you that you have a much higher chance of being scammed dealing with gold than you do dealing with BTC.
TT
This, plus you'd have to walk around with gold, and to spend it, you'd have to liquidate it first.

I would have to say bitcoin all the way... There is much more risk involved, but the potential return is huge. Plus im a risky kind of guy

Bitcoin ! Although it is very risky due to its high volatility now, but it is still new. It is an advanced technology, gold is soooo traditional and old hahaha

I would go for Bitcoin. The gold market is relatively staid. I've no idea where BTC will end up and that's what is exciting about it.

I would also pick BTC in this situation. Although I am a fan of both, I see more growth potential over the next few years with bitcoins.

It's funny how after investing in crypto, everything else almost seems boring. I guess you get used to the wild swings, which make other investment vehicles seem so slow...
Don't get me wrong, I have a diversified holding of different assets, but BTC and LTC are truly the only ones that I check on a daily basis.

If you can get some of both that would be the best for you. It is always best to have money spread out over different things obviously.

Well, obviously ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) But the OP posed a hypothetical question. That's what we were answering...

Yes.... if your portfolio is more diverse, then the more risk-free it becomes. But at the same time, risk-free investments will give you a (somewhat) fixed percentage of returns. For example, you can expect at the most a 20% per year annual profit from you bullion stash. But if you invest in Bitcoins,who knows, you may even get a 200% return. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Gold is good, but I've chosen Bitcoin because it can appreciate in value many times over!
