I dont see any reason for gold, its shiny but useless to the average person. Bitcoin on the other hand serves a real purpose and its a great investment.

To expound the ideas you are saying here, think choosing gold as an investment is not good for these days because it's value could not defeat bitcoin. Having that kind of precious material will not put you into safer side of life andnit may threaten your life due to it's visible to criminals who might rob you while wearing that kind of jewelry. Those crimimals will hunt your wealth like Gold and will definitely put a bad interests for you; knowing that will be sold expensive price. If we compare it with bitcoin, although it's volatile but if you have plenty of that you will remain anonymous and not visible to physical world of money.

It's common to us that we will choose bitcoin over gold because we are not a big investors who can afford to invest with gold.
With bitcoin everything will be easy as you can secure you assets online which you do not need to pay a bigger amount like what you
do to secure your gold investment.

Earlier it used to be like that. Gold was available only in the physical form, and the smallest amount one could purchase was 1/32 Oz. But now things have changed. Gold is also available in digital form (ETF funds backed with physical gold), and it is possible to purchase this digital gold in very small quantities.

Exactly, but among these online commodities, I choose Bitcoin on top as it is the only one that seems to be growing significantly in recent times, gold, silver etc. also grows but they cannot be compared to the volatility of Bitcoin and so I think it's better to choose Bitcoin currently than gold if you're a short term trader like myself.
Even the rise in bitcoin prices could be able to exceed the gold price so bitcoin becomes one of the more promising investments compared to gold whose price is always stable even untu rises unlike bitcoin which can soar high in price.
In terms of existence gold exist longer compared to bitcoin but bitcoin is getting more popular as it is useful in our daily lives
which we can transact with freedom. It's what the investors are really looking especially the small investors as they can
make consistent income since we can trade it easily unlike gold.
Brother bitcoin is more powerful than gold you can go just for bitcoin there is little incensement in gold but in bitcoin there is huge incensement daily so you need to go for bitcoins not for gold. It is not about real and fake. Bitcoin is also a real. Trusted currency you should visit some sites where bitcoin is rated 5 out 5.

Why anyone would compare bitcoins with gold...
bitcoins is a digital currency
gold is an asset

I choose bitcoin. Gold is only an opportunity to keep their savings, but these savings need to earn bitcoin. So these are the two most expensive resource which complement each other.

Gold is easy, buy a bar, stick it in a safe, done.  Bitcoin requires a bit more technical know-how, but has tons of advantages.

For gold it's really as easy as you said, but it also does not require that much technical knowledge to store your bitcoins safely. The only thing you'll be paying attention is hacking attempts to your computer or wallet. The rest is easy.

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  because it is tested and proven that through the years its value goes up.And for the security of my wealth to be conveted i go for gold.

Today, gold is reliable, but tomorrow it can depreciate. The same can happen with bitcoin. There is no guarantee that your assets will be saved in ten years, if they are stored in gold or bitcoin. It is necessary to constantly analyze the situation in the market and invest in different assets

I would vote for bitcoin, it is not that I don’t like gold but because bitcoin is much easier to have than gold. To be honest, I would really prefer bitcoin because I could earn it by joining signature campaigns and ICOs while earning gold seems too much for me. For me, I could just possess gold if ever my ancestors gave me or my family but I came from a normal family, a family without gold and a family that works hard to earn money.

Bitcoin’s price maybe is volatile and its increased in the future is not guaranteed but I would prefer bitcoin over gold because it is much easier to reached and earned.


I can see your logic. It is true that BTC can be easier to obtain than gold because you can go to the faucets and earn a few pennies worth a day and get paid whatever you get for your signature campaigns. There is really nothing like that for gold. But you can buy gold with BTC just to diversify your investments.
This is good for the diversification of your investment to buy gold or a real estate which you think has the potential to give you smart income.

I am personally interested in the cryptocurrency so, I have invested in 7 different altcoins which I think are more profitable than the gold or the real estate but this investment is definitely riskier than the other hardcore investments. Beside my investments I am earning from the signature campaign.
Really light to look at the graph of the growth and fall of Bitcoin themselves, then we will see a very unstable trend on the Exchange Crypto-Currency. The fact is that in this regard, the name is much simpler and even more reliable. Therefore, I do not see any negative consequences even investing in gold. Although Bitcoin is by far a very good way to earn money.

Useless? Maybe what you meant was that gold cannot be acquired by an average person compared to bitcoin. If that is the case then I would agree with you, an average person just like me cannot easily have gold unless it was given to me or I have inherit it. Unlike bitcoin, gold cannot be earned by just joining signature campaigns and altcoins. We can also earn bitcoins through investing and trading and this what makes bitcoin more preferable by many other than gold.

Without choosing, I would like to have both. With great effort and hard work, bitcoin can be earned plus there is a chance that it will be a big thing in the future while gold, besides that it really is shiny, we all know that it will always have value.

Generally i choose both, bitcoins for the something unreal money and gold for something real to me. Both are very meaningful to me i guess. But I prefer bitcoin because it's easy to get it.

Unreal coins huh? Maybe what you are saying is a money or currency that cannot be touched or seen. You must say it as a intangible coin. That is a very common difference of Gold and Bitcoin, Bitcoin is intangible and Gold is tangible. Though as you've said, bitcoin is easy to acquire than Gold, you can earn them online with simple tasks and services than digging a hole on the Earth.
Yes, I think many of the people doubt about bitcoin because it is intangible and in our society people trust in these things more which are tangible. The gold being still more common than bitcoin, may be for the reason that it has a physical existence. The people may prefer it because they can touch and feel it physically.

If someone from outside bitcoin circle thinks like such is acceptable but if a user thinks like this, it is totally unacceptable.

Bitcoin have a ground possition in market and market dependence. Its could be exchange on realible worth if we all will have a possible recove btc system and will have phisical wallets. BTW in history gold was always something worth but sometimes it was near ground... Just becouse peoples knows what it is (gold) and they want give something for IT. These IT could be BTC or other maybe better crypto, but peoples must know how could can be crypto for they if they learn use crypto.. IMHO

Bitcoin- in bullish time
July 01, 2017, 01:10:59 AM
I choose bitcoin because gold is hard to get in find so many process you want to make it you waste your time to dig.  but bitcoin is easy to earn money. Everyone want to wealth.. And the other want to simple life. thats why I choose bitcoin because it is easier than gold.

Well not being a hypocrite, just being realistic. I'll go with bitcoin. It's hard nowadays to find or to have golds. But with bitcoin, just use your knowledge, time and perseverance you'll have btc in your wallet.  Both gold and bitcoin are now precious but they have always differences and there's no way to compare each other. Gold is tangible, bitcoin is not. In bitcoin I can maximize my earning through buy and hold or do trading.
Well, most bitcoin users will have bitcoins rather than gold, because we already know how to maximize their income. But if we have a chance to have both, I do not think that would be a problem, even that might be profitable.
If i will have a chance to choose between bitcoin and gold then as the other users here, i will just try bitcoin rather than gold because in gold there is no way for growing it and making our selves get rich faster while in bitcoin you can grow it by investments, trading and other possible source of income that can add more bitcoin to your current bitcoins.
