If you had to convert all your wealth to either Bitcoin or gold and keep it there for 10 years, which would you choose? Keep in mind the fact that Bitcoin has only been around for 5 years, and could be fundamentally different in any number of ways in 10 years.
we have to keep in mind that times and techonology has changed, gold has always been a descent performer and good "balancer" for when equities were not performing good, but you have to consider that BTC is fairly new and has more potential, while gold has been around for a while and has reached maturity in the markets long time ago. That means that you are unlikely to make any descent returns out of gold now, because everyone is already invested in it. Just by comparing the returns of both gold and BTC, you'll see that BTC's return can hardly be compared with any other traditional investment currently available on the market, nontheless gold itself. If you're looking for high returns, I'd recommend that you invest in BTC, as the chances of getting a better return are much higher.
