Topic: 1BTC or 1oz of Gold. Which one would you take? - page 6. (Read 5911 times)
Pretty weird question given both have very different value, I preffer the one with higher value.
Take the gold and buy ~2 BTC
Well if you'd change the proposition so that their current values are equal, I'd go with BTC. I think gold is a great insurance, but BTC has potential to grow exponentially in value.
Umm. I'd take the ounce of Gold right now. Assuming I don't have to pay price over spot or shipping or anything, I'd take the Gold for sure. It's a great hedge and it'd add to my current stash.
If you offered two BTC I would have to think a bit more about it. Right now though it's looking like 2 BTC is going to be surpassing one ounce of gold in value shortly.

I would take the BTC and tip it to Max Keiser the tramp!
I would take the ounce of gold.
Obviously the OP has no idea what he's talking about regarding BTC.
Gold, women are attracted to it, apparently.

Spot gold: 1329.
BTC/XBT : 547.

i would take the BTC. cause gold can technically be fool's gold
Au != FeS2yeah but are you gonna do scientific tests, and inform eBay of fraud when they send the FeS2 instead of the Au. at least a Bitcoin is a Bitcoin
i would take the gold, sell it, and buy 2.5 btc
If you're going to ask this question, you might as well propose it in a form which is worth discussing:
"If you could accept 1 BTC or 1 oz of gold - but you can't sell or do anything with it for 5 years - which would you take?"
"If you could accept 1 BTC or 1 oz of gold - but you can't sell or do anything with it for 5 years - which would you take?"
If (and only if) the question is proposed in these terms, I could prefer 1 BTC, even if now it worth less than 1/2 oz of gold.
It's just about its potential: I think it is improbable that 1 oz of gold could change someone's life in 5 years, while there are at least some chance that BTC will (edit: continue to) raise its value in an exponential way.
1 BTC or 1/2oz of Gold. Then I'd directly go for BTC.
