I have USD 2000 to invest. Should I buy Bitcoins or gold?

Both, Gold and BTC get manipulated. Pick whatever you want.

BTC gets manipulated much easier.

BTC gets manipulated much easier.

Gold price gets manipulated from the us government. They made the riches richer and the poor lost again.

BTC can be manipulated easier but there isn't as much manipulation as there are no large entities like the US government or MASSIVE banks or investors that are currently manipulating it. If some bank wanted to manipulate it they could easily do it as the btc market capitalization is too small.

Clearly Bitcoins have a great chance to double, triple, or more in less than a year. Gold will not do that well.

Bitcoins have a great chance to be worth half, one third, or less a year from now. Gold will probably not do that bad.

the chance of bitcoin to going higher is above the change of it going lower, if you see the full chart from 2009 to today you will understand why

gold on the other hand is the definition of stagnant...

gold is not even stagnant if you look from 2011 till today. But gold's purpose is to protect what you have in the time of a total meltdown. This is very likely not coming in 2015, thus the answer what to choose is pretty simple.

Wise words from someone thats been on the forum 4 days, its all or nothing in BTC land  

Not-so wise words from someone with such a long time on this forum since we all know how time on this forum is certainly a measure of a persons knowledge in Bitcoin/altcoins.

Sit on those BTC while they trail. I'll stick to what I do and make my BTC grow.

It seems like a lot of people are shakey on bitcoin as the direction heads still being in the $200.

I think personally, you should invest $2,000 all in gold, and then invest with the small profit cap you get from it to bitcoin. Keep on taking the advantage of the time since, bitcoin prices were same as 3 years ago.

If you did that with gold you would of profit enough to buy a couple of bitcoins by now since its still $200.

Gold is in kind of a risky situation as well, though. At the moment it costs more to mine it than it's worth, causing a lot of rift in the market. It's going to be interesting to see if it perks up or crashes completely since a lot of big names are moving out of the precious metals.

borrow 2000 more and but bitcoins for 4k

They are both good investments in my opinion. It's always a good idea to diversify, you should buy an ounce of gold, or a gold ETF and then buy some bitcoin.

Nice adoption of the losing group mentality. If only I could reclaim the time I lost reading that.


Buy gold, then go find another forum and hobby since crypto is not for you.

or

Buy Bitcoin.
Pay attention.
Make moves.
Profit.

Far more exciting (and profitable)

A "Wise" observation from someone who should know that time on this forum is no indication of knowledge or experience with cryptocurrency.

Bravo for your quickness on clicking the Post button tho

There is good advice and then there's advice you shouldn't really give, because it may get people into losing borrowed money. It's alright if you want to go long margin, yourself, but people should be very careful doing so.

Oops, I forgot to mention that those 2k should be borrowed from local drug dealers because their money is probably dirty and they can't sue you for not being able to pay back. WIN WIN!

At least then when you lose all the money you won't owe anything back, .

I would invest $1000 in bitcoin and $1000 in gold, after 1 year I would compare the two investments and see which one was more succesfull.

For a stable investment, gold is the way to go. You're looking at a very risky investment with Bitcoin if your goal is to cash out in a year. It could be half it's price, it could be double the price. Gold retains its value more over time, so it's definitely a safer investment. In my opinion, I would go with the gold. I feel like the risk that Bitcoin inherits in terms of investment is too great. With gold, you're not going to bust completely.

Life is about time and money. With gold, you aren't beating time. To beat time, you need risk. With Bitcoin, you take a risk, but a reasonable amount of success is on the pipeline.

If you are just taking a risk without deeper understanding of what is going on underneath, you are most certainly bound to fail in the end. But if you do understand what's what, then your actual exposure to risk is greatly diminished, despite the fact that on the outside it may appear that you are risking gravely...

[fearlesscat10]

I think there's a lot more risk in Bitcoin, but generally I'd divide my assets. 50/50 gold and bitcoin. Or 75% to bitcoin. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

If you UNDERSTAND Bitcoin and you know how to put it within the current economical-political context, you'll realize that REAL long term (10 years+) it didn't even matter if you entered the market at 100 or 1000.
