Both are good option if you want faster profits then bitcoin is without a doubt the best right now, but if what you want is stability and long term security then gold it is the best, so probably a good idea would be the divide your capital in 2 and invest the same amount on both.
I dont agree with the word security for gold there. For security, bitcoin is still much better than gold. You need spaces to store your gold and most people store their gold in banks which is a third party and it is not really safe. For security, bitcoin is much better because you could store in anywhere as long as you are connected to internet or even not
Hmm. It actually depends on where you store your bitcoins. In gold, when you put it in a vault or a bank, it's automatically safe. You can even purchase gold but don't actually have it physically. It would be just a record that a certain amount of gold from their company belongs to you. It would be really hard to rob a data from a company since it's secure.
On the other hand, bitcoin is just as secure as your efforts. Using an online wallet is not secure at all since at any given time, the online wallet site can get hacked. Using a desktop wallet is *kinda* safe but not really since your computer can get virus and it can be accessed by someone that's physically near it (i.e. your friends, relatives, etc.) Cold wallet *might* work. USB drive *might* work as well. It's really hard to make your funds 100% secure since your private keys would have to be written somewhere (on a paper or electronically).
