With halving coming, should I sell a couple oz for bits. I wouldn't wanna miss it doubling or anything. Or I could hold the pm and just put a little money every month into bits. What would you do in my predicament?

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

It's a non-event. The real question is which will be more valuable in the future, gold or BTC. My money is on BTC.

I wouldn't take even only part of a gold investment to bitcoin.
Take some (little) fiat and buy like 100 bitcoins. It will be even more (in % out of total) of the gold you already have.

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive:
Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)
Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers

I agree on cedivads advice, but please keep in mind on what forum you're asking. In my opinion gold is really low risk compared to bitcoin, which has an ever expanding possible profit (or loss).

+1, Bitcoin is high risk, however, if between Gold, Fiat and Bitcoin I could only choose two, I'd take Gold and Bitcoin any day of the week.
