If you want tangible asset, gold is indeed one of the top choices that you can venture into. Such acquisition is quite not hard because you can just stock some gold jewelries, 18k or 24k, if you don't want to buy gold bars. And you can safely store it in your home. Whereas, if you venture in btc, because of its price volatility, you have no 100% assurance that you will get back your initial investments or get profits out of it.
At the end of the day, it is your own choice how to manage your investments, whether in tangible or digital assets. It will be you who will be securing and monitoring your assets.

Gold like safe place to invest p money. Even though it might not make you as much money as things like Bitcoin very quickly it usually keeps its worth or even goes up when economy is not doing well. It is good to know that if Bitcoin suddenly drop more but gold may actually become more valuable which helps protect your money.
Mostly it is smart idea to put your money in different kinds of things. This way we can possibly make money from market going up but we also have safety of gold to balance things out.
When it comes to Bitcoin you talked about how people who really like it have strong belief in it for future. They think that if we hold it for long time we have good chance of making a lot of money. It looks like different types of investments are good for different people depending on what their goals are and how much risk they are comfortable with.

I hope this will be the case, but so far we are not seeing it, we only see gold rising steadily along with the sideways movement of the bitcoin price.


That is simply false. They are nor rising in parallel and very seldom do.


I would say that bitcoin is increasingly perceived as digital gold but it has a long way to go. Gold has been appreciated by humans for thousands of years and here the shift to digital seems to be slower.

However, I expect that when the price of bitcoin rises, it will do so abruptly, I would even say violently.

Although gold and Bitcoin are not in competition but I get your point, gold has always been there from the beginning of time and it's reputation precedes it from generations till now. Bitcoin is a new creation and for it to have gained so much reputation in such a short period of time, if it continues in this momentum, it can suppass gold as the world's number 1 trusted asset in the future. People and countries are fast realizing that assets like gold and Bitcoin which are not like Fiat that are legal tenders will takeover as assets for reserves, they are not controlled by any single government or institutions.
