Personally I don’t think one is necessarily better or more attractive than the other. They both serve their own purpose, different purposes, so I think they are both attractive in their own way. Personally if I’m someone with a large enough portfolio, I’m making sure that I own both gold and bitcoin.

Yeah.


Bitcoin: easier to store, easier to secure, easier to buy, presumably in the future will actually be able to spend, and wayyyy more profitable

Gold: less volatile



So Gold is sometimes better for short term holding, like specifically during bitcoin bear markets, but I'd rather just hold dollars if I want something short term, because there is no way to know if Gold will go up or down short term).

It is close to the popularity of gold though it is not more popular than gold because gold existed long time ago and it is also more accepted than in BTC but who knows in the future? It might surpass it because the adoption for BTC is still spreading and IMO BTC is a little better than gold.

If someone already have an idea if what BTC is, then for sure they already know that it is worth it to HODL and in fact, this is what is happening now. I think almost 90 percent of BTC users are treating their BTC as an asset more than a currency but If they didn't care about investing in BTC, then chances are that they won't also have an interest of investing in gold and other valuable assets.

Probably the best idea. Don’t compare bitcoin from gold as one is virtual while the other can be hold physically. Instead, learn to accept that both can be attractive and become highly valuable in their own ways. Otherwise, you cannot see gold or bitcoin investment up to these days if they weren’t that attractive and highly productive.

However, despite of bitcoin giving the highest ROI for majority, gold should not be overlook as well. Wealthy people buy tons of gold to increase their wealth, and the idea that if you wear a lot of gold jewelry in your body reflect your own wealth. Although this is being traditional, but I must say majority still aim to collect gold as much as they can.

  One bitcoin already is worth more than an ounce of gold. I can only assume you are referring to ‘value’ which accounts for things like usability, functionality, practicality, etc. Again BTC is already “better” than gold. You can buy lots of things with bitcoin, you don’t pay for your coffee with gold. You can draw interest on BTC similar to currencies and can be easily traded for other cryptos or dollars. Gold is only worth what it is relative to a currency, plus it’s heavy. All you need for BTC is your phone. Both are volatile commodities, granted BTC much more so these days. Bitcoin is a new breakthrough technology which is gaining prominence in the investing space but let’s look at different aspects to analyse if it can ever surpass gold as the dominant store of value. You can access your Bitcoins anywhere in the world, cross borders and board planes carrying it with you. It cannot be apprehended unless you leave it on exchanges.
  When looking at Bitcoin’s market cap’s growth potential, we need to understand that markets work on sentiment and if we agree that Bitcoin is a better Store of value, it is not going to suddenly replace Gold. The second factor is trust. Gold has earned tremendous trust, much more than Fiat currencies and various other assets. Bitcoin is yet to be accepted by the mainstream because it has been associated with illicit businesses. But with regulation and adoption, Bitcoin will be out of this shadow soon. But more importantly, as Bitcoin recently completed 10 years of existence, it has been proven to be the most secure and decentralized network in the world. Bitcoin’s network has never been hacked and it is a multi-billion dollar bounty up for grabs every day. Time builds trust and there is a tipping point beyond which Bitcoin will have gained enough trust for investors to sell their Gold and store their wealth in Bitcoin.

I did expected bitcoin to win, but didn't really expect it to be leading with 90%+ of the votes, that's a lot. I think it is quite important to realize that we are talking about something more than just what people prefer here, I think we are talking about something that will take a while.

Hopefully we could have something like this in real life as well, that could be very good for all of us, it should mean that bitcoin price will go up. Just imagine going higher than gold marketcap, that alone is nearly 10x higher price, and not like that can't happen, there is a possibility that it could very well happen. This is why I believe that we are going to end up with a good win eventually, but that win will come with time only, so we have to wait.

I can't say no. Athough Bitcoin is a digital currency originally and that it still have adoption issues, Bitcoin became a powerful and popular asset to many people.  I'm not sure if it is "more" in comparison to gold given that there are investors of gold who are not into this blockchain technology and vice versa. But if you're a man between then yes, and obviously due to faster rate of increase in its market value. However, if it is with risk then Bitcoin for sure has it more due to price volatility. Attractiveness doesn't guarantee which one is better tho, it still depends on investor's preference; higher risk and high rewards or a more secure asset.
Both clearly are profitable assets to be held for years. There are just differences with physical form, usage, and risks involved in these two. Diversification indeed is the key if you're in doubt but having your interest into things. No one is required to put everything in one bucket, right?

The key difference between Bitcoin and Gold, is the max supply available and the rate that the new supply enters the market. Yes the earth has a maximum supply of Gold, however the rate at which gold is mined and produced only increases year on year due to evolving change in technology to mine it from the Earth. Whereas Bitcoin, the supply is both limited and the rate at which it is entering the market is limited and diminishing over time. I think the market of Bitcoin will be worth more than Gold in due time.

I'm currently into BTC investment. Regards gold, I don't have any practical experiences, because I have never found an opportunity to start investing on it. It doesn't look an accessible investment when compared to Bitcoin, in my opinion.

Of course. Bitcoin has a much superior potential of profitability, while gold works more as a stable asset to maintain your money value along the time. Both are efficient against inflation, but Bitcoin has an additional advantage due to the fact it gets highly valuable on long run, although we still have to consider the volatility factor which usually plays against investors on short run... Anyway, I guess the decision of investing in gold or Bitcoin will really depend on the objective the investor has for his money: to maintain the patrimony stable or to grow it exponentially.

That is something we can only speculate about. I believe there is every kind of people in the world. There are those who badmouthed Bitcoin genuinely believing on what they were saying and there are those who badmouthed Bitcoin in front of the cameras, while adopting it on the backgrounds. The most important thing is to never get too influenced by these personalities when choosing what to do with your money. You don't have to put all your eggs on the same basket, so why not try investments which these people despise? Maybe they are wrong and your intuition is right...

I am not comparing BTC to Gold because this has been presented by many members and financial experts. I just want to point out the trend of investing in BTC instead of Gold that is taking place with individuals, companies, and governments. This could be part of BTC's maturation as an investment and reserve asset. We have never seen this before 2020, but the participation of MicroStrategy and El Salvador has made BTC more popular and accepted.

Each investor will have the right to choose the asset that he trusts and loves, I believe that both BTC and Gold deserve to be in the portfolio of every investor
