Bitcoin is more preferable and more convenient than the gold as you are not storing it somewhere (as a hardcopy) but gold itself is hardcopy and can get stolen. Being a metal gold can catch rust but it is not with bitcoin.Therefore bitcoin is more preferable.

from the current situation, we can choose easily Bitcoin instead of gold. day by day Bitcoin is becoming the most profitable platform for saving and investment. if you compare gold with Bitcoin then definitely Bitcoin will give more profit.

on the other hand, Gold is the ancient element for the purpose of saving. but in recent time Gold has lost its demand in the market. gold is losing its price in several times. so day by day gold is becoming replaced by Bitcoin in the developed world.

Gold and Bitcoin have very different purposes.
I see Bitcoin as an investment.
Gold is not, it allows people to preserve the value of their capital. You don't speculate with gold.
Who knows if bitcoin will still be there in 5/10/20 years? i am pretty optmistic but it's too recent to foresee.

No doubt about it, I'll choose bitcoin instead of gold, this is because bitcoin has proven profitable and from the existing data, for a year the price has gone up to 500%, the same thing will happen in the next year.

If you had to convert all your wealth to either Bitcoin or gold and keep it there for 10 years, which would you choose? Keep in mind the fact that Bitcoin has only been around for 5 years, and could be fundamentally different in any number of ways in 10 years.
I will keep all my wealth in bitcoin and I am sure it will show much greater return as compared to gold, as gold is pretty stable and not risky, these kind of investments gives a pretty small return, but somewhat risky investments have the potential to give enormous returns.

I would prefer having both because I like to spread risk always.  Anyway, if I had to choose only one I would choose gold because I am surer that gold will have value in 10 years than I am about BTC. BTC in ten years might bring much higher returns than gold but you never know if BTC will lose all his value, maybe because an alt coin becomes the number one or some other reason. It is highly unlikely that gold becomes valueless though.

surely I will multiply in the remaining bitcoin invested in gold, because this is the best option for me which is a consideration is the price of the bitcoin that always rises in recent years up to hundreds of percent
when compared with gold prices are classified as stagnant

The bitcoin and gold are always comparing. I also compared it and I conclude that the bitcoin is more profitable than gold. The price of the bitcoin is extremely increasing than gold.

Why not both? Bitcoin and gold are both making my eyes glitter when I see them. They will make me both happy and satisfied knowing that I own many of them.
You want to be good but I only need one of them. Gold or bitcoin are good. I like bitcoin because its price is very high and storage is easier and safer.

Pretty sure I'd choose Gold over bitcoin. It's just more stable and gold has been quite some value for a long time and will probably also stay valuable.
Correct being stable i choose also gold but for faster income i do invest in bitcoin it was too risky but you can make income in a few months even just a day if you are lucky.
Gold was only good in long term investment because value was continuous rising but only little by little. While bitcoin value was fluctuating but most of the time value was climbing fast.

Hello! Gold looks good but Bitcoin is more convenient gold can get stolen but Bitcoin is much secure. Bitcoin accounts can get hacked but we can enable anti virus so that the bitcoins are secured but once gold is stolen then we need to take quick actions because who steals the gold can sell the in the market in 5 minutes also so the final thing I want to say is that if it would be good and Bitcoin is would go for Bitcoin.THANKS!
 
They can all be stolen but in order to have a good security with gold you need to spend a lot of money while with bitcoin you can store it
in your wallet for free. There is nothing to worry if you are not stupid to share your private key, keep and hold, that's the way to treat this kind of investment. In my case, I voted for bitcoin all day.

Nice one there with the comparison to storage between bitcoin and gold. That is true, you get to sometimes get stress out when you are wearing some of your gold jewelries because it might get stolen while with bitcoin, no one would even know if you have one when in truth and in fact, you are storing a lot of money already Smiley

I like gold but I will choose bitcoin than gold, I can buy bitcoin and hold more than 10 years maybe then I will see my money increase so many from beginning.

But we don't sure if bitcoin will last for ten years or more. No one can tell. If you are practical you will choose gold  because gold for sure will never lose its value. Yes it can lower or higher the value but surely it will exist more than our lives. Gold already exist more than a decades. If I were  you I will choose the one that is tried and tested. It's hard to risk and regret someday.

Why don't choose tokens that are pegged to gold or other precious commodities? Digital assets backed by physical metal or exchange-traded funds. I can think of for goldmint.io and silver for SLVR

How do you know that they are really pegged to gold?

Can you actually exchange them for real gold? You should understand that people invest in gold in order to preserve their value and not to speculate with it. Preserving value means that if things go massively awry (say, a full-scale war starts between major powers) your wealth will remain the same (or, at least, it won't tank massively). Only gold which you keep in your safe as metal bars can do the trick. All tokens which are allegedly pegged to gold will be worthless then, so think twice before you pour your money into them

I will surely convert all my wealth to both because those two have really a potential which is beneficial and valuable in any manner. Also for me to be flexible, I will surely convert half on bitcoin and half into gold so that I can use any of those depending upon the situation.
Prefer to bitcoin. Gold is very consistent valuable way back from histories until present, compared to bitcoin from 2009. However Gold is very slow to move its market price rather than bitcoin who has capable to fluctuate its value in a very short span of time, and it was proven and became a hot topic around the world.

Gold is good as an investment but bitcoin is the best and it has clearly proved over the years and it has gone much higher then gold so if you want to make huge profits then you need to take a risk of investing higher capital in bitcoins as gold will never give you higher profits like bitcoin and also you need to hold gold for a very long term to make profits from it.
