I agree whole-heartedly with this guy's answer!

But how many people have that wealth?
Gold is a poor investment on its own (I can't say that it is bad since it is not), and people investing in gold aim mostly at preserving their wealth, not earning any profits as such. But, as I just said, you should first have this wealth, and it is not like having a few (dozen) bitcoins, it is more about a few (dozen) million dollars when stacking up gold starts making sense. It won't give you profits in real purchasing power (most likely, 1 ounce of gold will buy you the same amount of goods in 10-year time as today) but it will certainly preserve the value of your capital

Nowadays it is really getting difficult to preserve our wealth, due to the rampant inflation. If gold or any other bullion metal is capable of preserving my wealth, then I would happily invest a part of my wealth in it. There are few other reliable options. Stock markets and real estate looks like inflated balloons right now. They can burst at any time.
Over many centuries, gold compare with other precious metals, gold is the most popular as an investment until now. But I think bitcoin has become a serious contender for gold with increased price so fast in first decade. If people get a good information about bitcoin I think they prefer to take bitcoin as they investment choice.
They might. But that is not a 100 percent.
There is a possibility that they can also be the enemies of bitcoin considering it is shocking when they see its price for the first time.
It should be annopen minded person before they could really see the good part of it.
For now, inviting them would be a problem. Maybe after August 1 for we also dont know what might happen.
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.
Gold any day..Bitcoin is not popular,it is a crypto currency,it is intangible which makes gold win by a bigger margin.People won't believe in bitcoin but they already believe in gold.Changing from gold to paper currency itself created a lot of misbeliefs among a lot of people due to lack of trust.What do you think will happen if any random person is asked to choose between gold and bitcoin,that too if has to convert all his wealth in any one of those two options?Gold has been there for centuries and bitcoin has been there for 8 years to be exact.

Gold, hands down.
Bitcoin is for gambling/trading volatility on steroids, not a serious long term store of wealth.
Yes definitely both pf them, if you're a wise business man you will always choose both of it because they can both make is rich and wealthy. Gold had a great security when it becomes to long term investment unless you've been robbed. While bitcoins are somehow risky because it might get hacked or maybe just maybe it falls. But let's all hope that doesn't happen. Bitcoin is for gambling/trading volatility on steroids, not a serious long term store of wealth.
For me, I will choose bitcoin over gold. That 10 years is a long term investment for bitcoin, I'll just ignore the volatility of bitcoin's price and just focus on the long run. Comparing the price increase rate of bitcoin, I'd go for bitcoin even if gold's price is a lot more stable than bitcoin. I can just wait for the rise of price of bitcoin that is really incomparable to gold's then sell some of it.

Of course both, gold is something that will always be valuable along with the economic movement in various countries, bitcoin is a new financial investment that will probably develop in the future and will cover the whole country 
I will keep my involvement in bitcoin for the next 10 years as the current explosions of crytocurrency will last for the next decades. One bitcoin is currently more than one once of gold and comparing there age bitcoin is like baby to gold but it has out smart gold in price. Gold is currently control and own by the greedy elites and fraudulent politicians but bitcoin is owned by any person that can work hard and intelligent.
bitcoin is my choice.
gold have high value no matter the year but how would you keep gold within ten years? pay a high price for securing the gold for ten years but its still not comppetely safe

yes i am choosing bitcoin too because until now, my money is not enough to buy gold so i think its better to stay with bitcoin. beside that, i can trading bitcoin pair altcoin and increase my bitcoin amount. but if in future, i can have much of money, then i will buy gold and save it in my bank and i don't want to sell if the price is not high. i don't mind to pay high price for securing the gold for ten years and i think its safe.
I also choose both but, gold doesn't have liquidity. Doesn't at all.
But bitcoin is quite easy to sell and buy. So I prefer bitcoin over gold!
Yes true, both is good and had the advantages of a profitable investment, gold is the most secure and profitable investment today is bitcoin. I will give same portion for both.But bitcoin is quite easy to sell and buy. So I prefer bitcoin over gold!

If you talking about safety than gold is the right choice beacuse it's being used for decades and across world . In this BTc is not even a decade old and yet to be accepted by many countries . So future as such is slightly unknown.
i choose both bitcoin and gold preserve gold 10 years as of now surely the value is higher more a triple and the bitcoin increase the value 10 years from now but gold is the safety investment because you can hide this in the bank
I also choose both but, gold doesn't have liquidity. Doesn't at all.

I will invest in bitcoin for short term and in gold for a long term as gold has more faith from people and it will surely survive in future and will try to make profit from bitcoin till its alive without depending on it for a long term.
Yeah like you I'm planning that too like 30% of my wealth will invest in bitcoin because we'll never know what can really happens, at least I have 30% investment. 70% will be on gold, although it have a stabilize price I know somehow in the future gold will always be gold and it's still precious as ever.

If I think bitcoin, because bitcoin can be searched through giveaway and faucet. But if the gold had to be bought ^ _ ^
LOL. I can also give away gold for free if I have money dude 
Wait.. This is 2017, boy. Not 2010 anymore. You can not earn a good amount of bitcoin on the internet with faucet anymore. Actually, you can never reach 1 bitcoin if you only spend your time on faucet. It is ridiculous and waste of time. You should apply in fast food store because they will even give you a higher salary than those stupid faucets I also choose both but, gold doesn't have liquidity. Doesn't at all.
