Gold Bar!

You can make accessories,jewelry and increase value out of it. Though bitcoin will increase value in time same with gold, Gold has a physical features and charm Wink

Women love to wear it too Wink

Yeah, if it was associated with women, I certainly would prefer gold than bitcoin. Because when we have gold we certainly could change gold to complement the beauty of which we have so far. But to get a very high increase then I prefer bitcoin: for the price of the bitcoin has no limits and it's very different with gold, gold is experiencing a rise in the less fun

give me your cryptos

Bitcoin doesn't have any logical value. It's soft, and just looks good. Bitcoin at least is built to go up in price, does not tarnish, and is decentralized. Cheesy

obviously bitcoin and that's a simple reason for me because i'm bitcoiners and not gold collecting however if you asking these questions to the gold bag holders i'm pretty sure that they more likely will choose A gold bar

I like the idea of owning some gold so now I am collecting a bit of gold when I can. I also like the liquidity of bitcoin but gold seems to have a more steady climb long term upwards, bitcoin is getting a bit too volatile again.

Let's test your belief in Bitcoin's potential. OK, let's say someone approach you, and offer you two options for free...

1. 10 bitcoins

or

2. A gold bar with the same value at the time.

What will you chose? We all say, we believe in Bitcoin and it's future, but if you faced with this decision... would you go for the traditional safe heaven or would you go with the new Bitcoin option, that

are still in it's experimental phase?

Give me your reasons, why you would take the one over the other.... I know which option people will chose that are not familiar with Bitcoin ----> Gold bar. Roll Eyes

If i am able to pick half of both then that would be my choice, having both of them gives me more
option on what to do with it invest it,store it,sell it,trade it or use it. having a lot of options will give me more
chance to know what is better to do with bitcoin/gold that i will receive.

Never put all in single asset. Split 50% betwen gold, silver, some stock. 30% in BTC 10% in BTC stock and other 10% in other cryptocurrencies.

It would come down to liquidity, Even here in the US it's a pain to turn BTC into $$$. With gold or silver I can go to any coin store and sell. I know in the EU there are BTC ATMs but none here. Have to stick with gold.

I have to say that I have to disagree with you, because I can have the $$$ in my bank account on the same day I sell them and even quicker if I go through Localbitcoin. The infrastructure is better in bigger cities, so it is no big problem for us to convert back to cash. We prefer to stay in BTC for almost everything, but occasionally have to convert back to cash.

I use it more as a speculative investment tool. ^smile^

for free i would gladly take either, it would be free money Wink

but generally i prefer both of them not only one, as i do with my own investment. something like a 70-30 portion is good for me, the 70 being in bitcoin because that has more potential.

If only the same price why I choose one of them. Two of them i choose both because we need them and we both earn in gold and bitcoin. Bitcoin 's a great investment for long time and okay as gold for life time . Okay so you have two of them to suddenly increased prices they can both earn and grow your money. Bitcoin and gold are the greatest investment that ever known.

Definitely gold bar with the same value at that time. Because it is safe investment. Gold bar prices will not appreciate overnight but also not depreciate overnight. Gold price is very stable. On the other hand gold is also a tangible asset which bitcoin is not.

Bitcoin certainly has the potential to go up to any uncharted territory if we hold it longer, But it is not safer like gold. Given the choice, I will go for gold.

If you ask this at current price of bitcoin which is recovering after this massive dump yesterday than i will definately choose 10 bitcoins and may sell them when it reach again 700$+ and buy gold bars, this could be smart move lol.

I will choose the 10 BTC for SURE!!

Basically I do not know where I should keep the gold bar without losing it ten years down the road. I used to have a safe deposit box with a bank but they charge me $100 per year, which means whatever I keep inside will depreciate by at least $100 per year ($1000 for ten years!)

10 bitcoins, no need to think about it. Much more usefull, and IMO, will have tremendously more purchasing power in 5 years from now !

This is tough one to choose due to the recent events that has happened in a span of 24 hours ago.

If it was before the halving of 2016 with high hopes of bitcoin going over $1300 by the end of the year I would say 10 bitcoins.
Since that is would be worth more than a gold bar.

But since that did not and probably will not happen now. My choice would be the gold bar because it is pretty much steady at $1302 an ounce right as I am writing this.

Still bitcoin not valuable than gold.I would go with the traditional safe heaven like gold because bitcoin still not popular like gold.you can buy sell gold every where in the world but you can not buy sell bitcoin every where in the world.you can exchange gold everywhere but not bitcoin.I have bitcoin but I don't feel safe because I think someone has control over my bitcoin.

The limitations in using bitcoin have become a real factor for bitcoin is can't defeat the gold, looks like real physically, whether bitcoin is having that?I can say no and anyone can use bitcoin without the internet? and again the limitations coverage of using bitcoin has become a real factor for the deficiency of bitcoin.

Well I think it is not close to possible for me to have 10 BTC / Gold for free. But to answer your question, BTC and Gold are good investment and both have pros and cons. If it will be okay to have both then why not, I will be happier with that. It's hard but if I really need to choose one, I think I will choose Gold as of now, not because of the price of bitcoin, but because Gold is widely known and can be exchange to fiat anywhere (of course you won't exchange it all at once). Even if I will not choose FREE BITCOIN, I will still make an investment on it through my own earnings Cheesy

I do trust in bitcoin's potential and I'll support it all the way.

I go with the bitcoins because there is more potential for gains. It may be the more risky option, but I think bitcoin will prevail in the end.

I'd choose bitcoin because it is easier and faster to sell. And you won't have to worry about your house getting robbed because you own gold.

For me if choose bitcoin because bitcoin can use in shopping and easy to exchange to money while in Gold you can spend it in stores even in online shopping and during exchange it to real money you'll need to exchange it to legit gold exchanging outlet to secure of the value of your Gold.
