Without a doubt, it is a complicated query in which you ask about two commodities that currently move in the same price range, where it is clear it is important to forget about the short-term volatility of Bitcoin, as well as what concerns  to liquidity.

Certainly it can be argued that Bitcoin is more recent and has not established itself as such in the market, but in turn it is necessary to recognize that it is more useful in the digital age than gold.  Anyway, gold has a historical record that can not be disputed, which has even been responsible for being one of the most selected options to store value for thousands of years and for multiple human civilizations.

In my opinion, rather than asking which one is better between bitcoin and gold, it is more important to take advantage of both.

Bitcoin is a risky investment.
It may have a much higher yield than other assets, but it is much higher risk.  You can lose (a lot) money if you invest (a lot) money.  Or you can earn (a lot, but a lot) money by investing relatively (a little) money.  So the tip is to invest "some money you might lose".

Gold is a well-established commodity as a value keeper.
In general you do not earn or lose anything with gold, just do not fail to lose because of inflation.  It is very secure (as long as your investment is made in a sound financial institution).  So the tip is to invest "money that you do not want to lose".

I would rather go for both! I don't usually restrict myself from opportunities and gold is not actually an investment to me. Every month I invest some amount in gold through "systematic Investment plan". That is mainly I do to create wealth over long time which doesn't have much risk for negative return.

Whereas my bitcoin investment is purely a speculative investment. I would not invest in bitcoin for creating long term wealth because the risk is very high! So I would go with both for different reasons, but gold is my choice for long term wealth creation!

10 years ago I have chosen gold as money. I am orthodox and I bought a very valuable Gold Icon with Mother Marry.

Then they told me that I am schizofrenic because of this icon.  I was locked (as animals) for 3 months in hospitals together with people eating their shit, because of this.

7 years ago I have chosen bitcoin. I worked 6 years and helped 5000 students in this time. Then they said that I am violent, and  that I have psychic problems (I was solving Quantum Mechanics homework helping students, where the function psi is the wavefunction).


If I would invest in something for 100 years it would be 3 homes (a home in Southern Europe, probable in Italy or France), a loving wife, many good paintings and some loving children.

 

well, gold and bitcoin do have the same potential if possessed by those who have the potential to use them. but, for people in general, I think, gold will be more worthy, because they feel it is more flexible, and can be used anywhere.

I think that topic has been discussed multiple times on this forum. However, I have not interested to invest on gold and wondering why people will invest on gold. I can't see any reason to invest on gold but there is many reason why I need to invest on bitcoin if I have enough fund. For example bitcoin price could touch 10X from current rate at any time. But gold can't touch 10x within short time.

Bitcoin and gold are both different investment types, like real estate is another one, they all have different purposes. Gold investors aren't looking for outstanding performances, most of them are fine even with 0% yearly interest. Why? Because they're not here for a profit but to secure their funds. You don't invest in gold hoping it will outperform Bitcoin, this is insane.

When we hold bitcoins we're not doing it to secure a capital but to gamble hoping its value will increase, (we're are speculating)
If I'm looking to save some money in a safe way/place I'd rather buy a piggy bank or gold coins. If I'm ok to take some risks I would think to invest in volatile markets (whatever if it's in Bitcoin or not)


Investing in a loving wife. Yeah, I do this. It's called paying a prostitute. Guess what? The investment is here 1h and the value crash

Bitcoin vs gold ,bitcoin is more valuable than gold for me but in capital market bitcoin price always unstable but gold prices are stable. So I prefer to invest in bitcoin rather than gold.

It's a simple question for me. I've been thinking about it recently and I know the answer. I will invest in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. For me it is fundamentally

I just spend my money into bitcoin and I never choose another place such as in gold or real estate to intend for investing. Actually I still young to start investing in GOLD because I still have a lot of pretension to buy everything that I wanted instantly. So, I choose bitcoin to spend my money for investing, I'm sure bitcoin is a place to buy that I wanted instantly because its movement price. And I'm short term investor, so far I only buy and sell bitcoin if I got profit from it, $100 or even $1000 I have got them since I started to invest in bitcoin. These things has made me comfortable to choose bitcoin and never tried to choose another place beside it.
