BTC fluctuates in price far more than gold, BTC is volatile while gold is a store of value and can be said to be stable. If you want an asset that is volatile, with occasional dips but has the ability to rise fast and make you returns on investment, buy BTC. But if you want an asset that can hold value for very long, then buy gold.
BTC is not a risk-free asset, people do lose their keys, lock themselves out of their BTC's or store it in a centralized exchange and lose it, there is risk in anything you call an investment.

That is why in my post you quoted, i said there is risk in anything people call an investment, and that also includes gold. But i think it is easier to lose BTC's than gold. If you do not keep your physical gold in your banks safe deposit box or in a safe vault, your next option will be to store it in your home, and except you are a target of robbers or burglars, you wouldn't still lose it.

BTC requires more attention to security, especially if you're storing a large amount of it, you have to download from the original website, verify your download, ensure your wallet file is stored locally in an airgapped device or you use a hardware wallet, you also have to make multiple backups of your seed phrase and keep them in more than one location, etc, all of these isn't easy to do for an average joe, that is why so many of them simply store their BTC's in centralized exchanges, which is a very bad thing to do.

Gold is definitely for store a value, but actually Bitcoin is relatively stable and can be used as store a value too. If people seek for high volatility and speculate asset, isn't altcoins is better since it's full of pump and dump.

Bitcoin could be more safer than gold because it's more flexible, it will not lose as long as you have the private key and you can access your coins in anywhere.

definitely, the risk is quite different when it comes to bitcoin. for gold, you can hold for long term without bothering that it would go down overnight. its price level is much more stable. for tangible assets to hold, i opt for gold jewelries to store as you can buy in small amounts depending on how many grams of jewelry you will buy.
and when it comes to actual investments, it depends now on the person, to what extent of risk he can get involved with. btc may give you nice profits, but it depends on when you will buy and when you will sell it.

Let's be honest: nowadays probably no, you're not going to get rich buying gold, 100 years ago yes. I understand is a totally different story but simply saying that no one can become rich thanks to gold is not the full story. Of course I would choose bitcoin over gold every single day, there is no discussion for me.

not necessarily. there's alot of nice down to earth precious metals investors who do so out of a sense of trying to conserve some wealth and hedge against inflation. these type of people don't just do things on a whim. they plan out what they are going to do and how.

apparently gold and silver went up today by a huge 3 or 4 percent and it REALLY got precious metals investors talking. they never see that type of price movement. EVER. 

if someone is only doing it for making money i think crypto is better. bitcoin is better.

I think Bitcoin and gold will continue to be beneficial. The value of Bitcoin will experience an upward trend in the next 20+ years, but will remain volatile and always corrected, and Gold continues to be a good store of value.

That Gold is held by Millionaires and billionaires as a means of hedging, as a store of wealth. You won't go bankrupt if you have Gold. It plays based on its brand name, based on thousands of years of value. That's what rich people believe in.

If you are trying to make a million dollars, or a billion dollars from Investment, then Bitcoin is the right choice. If you're trying to protect a million, or a billion, Gold is your choice. But back to you, it all depends on what game you play.

not bad!

premiums on small silver coins can be $4. tack that on to the $22 spot price and you could be paying $26 or $27 so if you got it at 19 average then you must have done alot of buying when spot price was around $15 or $16.

spoken like a true precious metals investor. that's another difference between bitcoin and precious metal. when someone dies and they didn't leave instructions about how to access their bitcoin, that bitcoin is lost forever. with a large stash of precious metal it will be found and they'll know what to do with it, how to use it. no private key needed. no lost forever scenario. even if you hid it well.

I fully agree with you, the times of becoming rich with gold are over. Just look at the gold price for the last 2 years, it was moving around the 1.800-2.000 levels without giving any real return to its holders. Gold the number one asset that protects against a crisis, failed this time and the only people that got rich through gold are the ones that bought it 20 years ago. Back then the price was below 500 USD, so in 20 years you could have made 300%. There is no interest on holding gold and if you own a lot then you even have to pay storage cost at the bank or for a high quality safe at home. The only additional return we could generate with gold would be to buy and sell it more actively to take advantage of price changes. Still the return possibilities from gold seem really small compared to crypto currencies. For all the investors like me who didn’t have the opportunity to buy gold when it was cheap, I don’t think it makes any sense to buy it now. The price is way too high that we could make a decent profit any time soon. Even if gold would be more important again for investors, I don’t see any chance to make 50 or 100% return with it. Our chances are much higher to stick with crypto currencies. To me bitcoin and other cryptos is the new form of investment, like what was gold to my grandparents.
