Bitcoin or gold, I am paying both because gold and bitcoin are the investment options in the future. For both long and medium term investments, that's my opinion.
Yes that is also a good suggestions that you give to peoples that they invest their capital in bitcoin and gold because both are very profitable for them or to us. Therefore, also I know that bitcoin investment is very more much profitable but bother are very best to investment because both are very secure and believable assets.

imagine a zombie apocalypse world , no internet or electricity. what currency would we use ? i think survival skills is more important also luck. you need a lot of luck to survive like a hero in movies like 2012 . even if building or plane crash you always finds a way to survive.

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 chose bitcoin because I believe in 10 years Bitcoin will really develop over now. While the gold selection is too math, it hardly grows. But Bitcoin is different when it is developing, many countries accept it, using it as a world currency

Why not both? It’s true that bitcoin has more advantages than gold. It’s more secured and transparent. Its value will continue to rise as is the demand for it. But we should not also cast aside gold just yet. Gold has persisted for many years as a store of value for a reason. Gold has proven that it can stand the test of time, that it is durable and will endure more years to come. I think it will continue to persist for at least another generation or two.

For me bitcoin is gold. In fact, gold bullion is a useless metal that people have agreed among themselves to appreciate. Similarly, you can appreciate the bitcoin to use bitcoin much easier and profits much more.

Useless metal? Please explain how gold is useless.

For now I have gold and bitcoin, I keep gold for the long term, while for bitcoin for investment for the medium and short term. So both include my choice for investment.


I think bitcoin is even better than gold for a long term investment. I think we can see tenfold rise in price for BTC in the next 10 years and it hardly will happen to gold.

With gold it certainly will not happen. There is no reason for gold to rise so much. But there are all reasons for so much to rise in price bitcoin. This currency is becoming very popular and soon its price will soar upwards
That's the reason why I believe bitcoin is a better investment now, gold if for stable income and it requires you to
start a decent amount so you can benefit greater profit when you sell. I think we should be more focus on a high risk investment
like bitcoin because it has already given success to some.

I agree that investing in bitcoin is more risky than investing in gold. Gold is known for centuries as a good investment and bitcoin is not known at all to some people yet. But among the investments which promise you high profits bitcoin is the least risky, and I'd stick to it if I had money to invest.

Now a days gold is like piece of metal to bitcoiners and lovers. Just look at the market and see how precious bitcoin is. This is actually worst comparison between bitcoin and gold because they don't even belong to family. Anyway, in long term or short term bitcoin will always stay ahead of anything that comes to the market whether old or new.


I disagree with you about on the long term perspective that Bitcoin would likely stay ahead on Gold. Somehow I see the opposite will happen and that Gold in the long run will be more better in terms of investment, you know why? I have not seen lately banks selling their shares of Gold instead when it was down they see it as a buying opportunity which means their belief in Gold is so strong. More likely the one who has a stable price but growing will be the one who succeed in the long run.

Practically, bitcoin ia better than Gold. Its easy to earn and posesses cool features. In my whole life, i never got a chance to have Gold in my hand. On another hand, Gold is more stable than Bitcoin, it has  amazing value since then unlike Bitcoin that has unpredictable value which makes it risky. Both are good, have it at the same time. Good means of investment.

Considering the thought that bitcoin has only been around for 5 years compared to gold which have maintained its value for years now, that fact alone leads me to choose gold. Because bitcoins' still quite risky so I'd rather go to gold which has been trusted longer by many.

In addition to that, gold is something that will always have value because it has a lot of uses. While bitcoin is being used only for payment methods. There are a lot of substitutes out there and even though it will require decades or centuries for bitcoin to be obsolete, we don't really know when will it occur. You might invest today and then tomorrow the new tech gets launched. People are going to leave bitcoin in a heartbeat and leave others bagholding something that don't have that used to be valuable. That can never happen to gold because if there's a mineral that has the same properties with gold but are less scarce, then that should have been found by now and made gold go down.

I would prefer gold. I am very scared that in the future some fast hardwaresystems going to be able to break all crypto system hacking all the seeds. I do not believe this system is going to work for 10 years. A more developped alternative may take bitcoins place.

For 10 years,i think gold better then bitcoin,coz gold low risk
If you're going to invest in gold in 10 years you will receive the same amount. If all these 10 years you will earn with bitcoin you can in these 10 years to buy 10 times more gold than buy now. Gold is convenient to store only during the war. You ready for war?
Of course, bitcoins are the most efficient and profitable investment currently. Gold has nothing to do with bitcoins. Gold is just better for ornaments and wedding gifts. Bitcoins are much better than gold. Bitcoins can make you rich in short time as compared to gold. Bitcoins can double you money even increase it manifolds within short time

You are just too young and don't know a thing

Gold has been sticking around as a valuable asset for many millenia, and most of that time it was one of the most valuable assets out there and likely the most universally accepted one at that. Do you really think that Bitcoin (for all its technological novelty, advancement, and distinction) is going to change anything in this regard. It has only been for some 70 years that humanity wasn't involved in some kind of self-extermination, otherwise you would have quickly found out the real value of gold



Bitcoin can indeed make you rich big and quick time, but gold won't make you poor, no matter what

That's indeed the difference, it's a question of risk, gold is more or less the lowest risk investment out there.

I still prefer bitcoin though, maybe it's because I'm risk averse but I also truly believe the huge potential upside outweighs the relatively small risk of it crashing to nothing.

I think you should invest in both gold and BTC. Gold will provide stability to your portfolio and Bitcoin will provide a fast growth to your investment. You would be able to reduce risks of market if you invest in both.
If you put money into gold then it's like cold storage of cash. It will not bring income, but will allow you to have money in any situation. Investing in bitcoin is a real income that is constantly growing. Very difficult to force myself to withdraw from a profitable project.
I like putting all my funds to Bitcoin and trading for replace use this money buy Gold, because I'm a type can't wait more time for Gold increasing, but the crypto market not as gold, it always have opportunity get rich overnight. Example: Bitcoin Cash I bought rate 0.01 in first time the price drop to 0.003 BTC/BCC, but I know this just is panic short time and I keep my coin and take profit x40 after 12 hours keep it Roll Eyes
