Ya it is true that bitcoin has very good potential and if you are asking for investment purpose then right now situation is that investing in bitcoin is very good as we can get good appreciation of price in long term, but investing in gold is also not bad, my opinion is if you have big investment plan then go for both as both have their own features of investment benefits.

i think currently the price of bitcoin is double the price of gold. but still i am going trade bitcoin. because trading gold is only good for saving  as we can observe a very little change in the price of bitcoin, while trading bitcoin there are more chances to make a good profit because the price of bitcoin is increasing from time to time and hope that it will continue rising for along  time therefore we have good opportunity to make more money from investing in bitcoin.

I prefer to buy Bitcoin. I can buy it very easily. But this is not the only reason for buying Bitcoins. I like the fact that he is constantly getting more expensive

Indeed bitcoin is the best speculative asset, but im worried because of bitcoin unlimited, to hold long term.

If we want bitcoin to be a digital gold, we cannot be exposed to bitcoin unlimited type of attacks.

Nobody is going to trust it long term if hard forks happen which results in a split marketcap... its a disaster.

no doubt that bitcoin value is increasing from time to time and that is because the number of bitcoin users is increasing and therefore people are trading bitcoin because they are hopeful that the price price of bitcoin will increase more and more.

i agree with you bitcoin getting more expensive day by day because bitcoin adoption increasing too much faster and bitcoin price also increasing to higher value so i also interesting in bitcoin than gold.

Sorry but I don't think it's controversial that bitcoin is not a good store of value. The price of bitcoin is no where near being stable enough for me to hold money as a store of value. For an investment? Of course! Bitcoin is on the up and up, a great investment if you ask me! However unlike an investment, a store of value is any form of wealth that maintains its value without depreciating, especially in the event of your 'burning in flames' example. Did gold and silver drop in price during the 2008 crash? Sure. Would bitcoin have had it been in existence? Most likely. Therefor, I don't think either one is necessarily "better" at "storing value" than the other, they both have their strengths and weaknesses, but my whole point is diversification. The main purpose of diversification isn't to make as much money as possible, or else gold and silver of course would be AWFUL decisions compared to bitcoin. If you were referring to an investment - which as I read back I now think you were - I'm sorry that I misunderstood as I too would recommend bitcoin over anything else for investing some money in.

You are making a timely decision, now is the right time to invest with bitcoin. Actually, if you are more risky, you can sell your house and use the proceeds to trade with bitcoin. That's risky but a person who gambles a lot can do it and will do it.

That is good reason for invest in bitcoin. Some great people said that the price of bitcoin will rise until reach more than $3000. So I think it is good for choose bitcoin as investment.

No need to be sorry, I never said that Bitcoin was a good store of value, to begin with

Regarding diversification, I'm inclined to think (and Warren Buffett heavily supports my view) that the whole point of diversification is exactly the opposite what you claim, i.e. maximizing profits, not minimizing losses. More specifically, why would you ever want to keep your funds in something which you expect to fail? The best strategy would be to withdraw your money from such an asset altogether. If you expect money to fail, just don't keep your wealth in it. Why do you invest money in Bitcoin? Because you want to earn profits. Why do you you freeze your funds in gold? Because it can't collapse to the ground, and thus won't inflict heavy losses. This is obviously a strategy aimed at maximizing earnings since minimizing losses would mean pouring all your money into gold. As simple as it gets
