If that question was asked a month ago when the price was stable then I would choose only bitcoin and not the gold bar, but now I will choose for both options, like i will (in today situation when the price is going down faster) choose for gold and will keep it till the time when the price of bitcoin once again become stable at a good value. But if you offer bitcoin in worth of a quantity of gold then I will accept bitcoin as in the future the bitcoin will rise and I will have more value.

bitcoin is way better than gold right now because it can make you a lot of money, in my opinion gold is too old already and bitcoin technology is better

I would probably have to choose gold simply because i don't like storing large values in Bitcoin, I rarely keep more than 2-3btc in Bitcoins because I don't want the value to fluctuate too much. Moreover, gold is rising steadily right now, unlike Bitcoin which seems to be declining in value.

yeah i would have to say at the minute it would be the gold bar, in my opinion bitcoin is still an experiment, but i would also love the option to go half and half, diversifiy

If I had a choice I would take 5 Bitcoin and the equivalent of 5 Bitcoin in gold, because I think it's wise to be invested both in precious metals and Bitcoin. If I would not be allowed to split the total amount, I would take 10 Bitcoin, because I consider the process to acquire Bitcoin still a bit more tedious than acquiring gold.

However in general, I would not acquire a gold bar, but old original circulation gold coins. Such gold coins tend to have better fungibility, because their weight is standardized, they are a bit more difficult to counterfeit, and they represent smaller chunks of gold than a single bar.

In general, I consider owning Bitcoin more risky than gold, since Bitcoin has only a very short history of usage. On the other hand, it's potential for value appreciation is higher, since it is less well known and owned by fewer people. Because I'm still relatively young and the funds in either Bitcoin or gold would be a gift, it's o.k. for me to take the higher risk.

ya.ya.yo!

it depends on what you want to invest in lol. bitcoin to me is more of like a relatively short term investment whereas gold is a long term investment.
the gold prices stay extremely stable compared to bitcoin. so if you are not a risk taker you would choose gold.
me personally would choose bitcoin because the price just crashed a bit over the last couple of days and i expect it to go back up.

For about the 5000 USD investment, buying gold taking you nowhere in 20 or more years. Gold might hold value very well, but you should not expect it appreciate in value much, so the equivalent of today 5000 USD might mean not much for you after 20 or so years when you already should have house and kids on their own.

On the other hand Bitcoin is much riskier but with a lot potential to take from your 5000 USD investment a fortune after a while, gold cannot offer such potential appreciation. Thats why I prefer putting such smaller amounts to Bitcoin. But if you had much more to store, like million USD, then gold is beter choice for most of this million, while Bitcoin only for much smaller part.

Like example bitcoin without the internet? is useless but the gold without internet?is still useful,but in this time maybe a lot of people is not preferred about bitcoin caused by appearing another bitcoin big cases. and giving a lot of losing for many people in the bitcoin world.

it's not rational to compare the virtual currency and real currency like this.

I rather pick bitcoin IF both bitcoin and gold have the same value, because i can use bitcoin to growth my bitcoin like do some trading, gambling and investing.

You asking this on bitcoin forum? Of course i would choose bitcoins.
Gold is heave, hard to carry with you, bitcoin not.
