Gold has indeed very real for us to invest, had kept many people use gold.
But there is no harm if we try investment using bitcoin because the value of bitcoin changes very quickly in the appeal of gold.
The price of bitcoin increase fastly and decrease fastly so for me bitcoin is risky compared to the gold because gold, the price increase daily but little only and thats good because it is safe investment because have offline and online investment comapred to the bitcoin the business is for online only. I think if bitcoin die the gild will still there and gold cannot die I think . But if you want sure investment I suggest to invest your money in gold and bitcoin.

Bitcoin- in bullish time
May 20, 2017, 10:02:42 PM
Both are good, but you are ''stupid'' if you don't invest in bitcoin/cryptocurrencies.

I don't find those people that don't want to invest in bitcoin or any crypto related investment as stupid. Maybe they are having doubts on bitcoin but lately I know they are going to realize that bitcoin is something. If you will have enough money for investment, you can have more when you are going to start holding it just like today.
in fact, there people that not invest in cryptocurrencies because they think that investment in any other thing is better. But, on the other hand, there many people that believe in Bitcoin and that in more years his price will increase and will touch the moon. Therefore if I had to convert all my money would be in both, 70% Bitcoin and 30% gold
I think it is better if you just invest the 70% of your money in bitcoin and 30% for savings and do not invest in gold because gold is very slow in increasing on its price and it is like wasting your time while you can save it and use for other investment that is fast growing like bitcoin. Gold will take decades to increase its price or at least double it while other investment can make you rich in that time frame.

As for me, l will invest all my wealth in Bitcoin. But if given the opportunity to diversify I will invest 85% in bitcoin while the remaining 15% will be invested in gold. This because for now bitcoin is yet to reach its " diminishing marginal return but gold has reached it's diminishing marginal return "

Aside from the fact that you should never have your entire wealth invested -- Bitcoin has outperformed gold in each and every aspect when it comes to generating cold hard returns. If you look at how stagnant gold has been compared to Bitcoin, it doesn't really make much sense to "diversify" the way you described. All you are doing is preventing yourself to enjoy further growth by having gold in your 'portfolio'.

Obviously Bitcoin.
Yesterday I heard that Bitcoin is more valuable than gold in terms of value. In recent years I have been experiencing ups and downs the value of gold. But Bitcoin also got some fluctuations but less than gold. So in terms of value fluctuation I prefer Bitcoin to gold. Because I want a stable value.

Gold also is as good as bitcoin,there's a season for low price and hogh price.
But I think bitcoin is better for me because sooner bitcoin will become one world currency to be used by all natoins.
So I prefer to use bitcoin.

Still gold has the better position than bitcoin, it's a matter of acceptabilities and credibilities so that gold has huge popularity than bitcoin, however, bitcoin keeps remaining pressure on gold but people still love it and prefer to collect gold. bitcoin have to reach a milestone to become more popular than gold.

Gold low risk, well actually almost no risk.
Bitcoin is still risky thats why you can make god money, lose also too much


Low risk, but a dead investment. Plus there is a cost of storage and cost of carry.
I would look at gold only for a small portion of my portfolio, as a hedge against run away inflation.

I will choose bitcoin for a quick increase in my capital. And gold for stability. In bitcoin, I invest 80 percent of the capital, and in gold only 20. But I'm not sure that this is correct
you are chosen the correct bitcoin is good option because just bitcoin can grow up your money and gold can not grow your money like as bitcoin and i hope invest in bitcoin will give you a big profit in future and gold will be give just 2% profit so bitcoin is very much good than gold.

If you think about the acceptability and availability then I would prefer gold to Bitcoin, I don't think that Bitcoin hasn't any credibility and availability in current situation but it needs more way to go and more spread out over the world. Many a countries still doesn't allow Bitcoin but hopefully within very soon Bitcoin will be a popular media of exchange.

You're are in a sense that Bitcoin is not available and acceptable legally everywhere but then whats the use of Gold even if it is available and acceptable everywhere which it can give as much profit as bitcoins can give. Bitcoin is for newer generation who are active and wanna take quick benefits of this digital currency while gold is for the Old people who are not much active and satisfied with the slow outcome of profits by gold.

I disagree with you. And the elderly and young people alike want to get rich fast. And I've seen many investors in the age who enjoy bitcoin. It does not depend on age.
It all depends on how much bitcoin is popular among people
Well yeah surely age is not that main factor for the people to look in who want to get rich faster. No doubt you will find people from almost all the age groups who will want to become rich overnight. But the truth is that if it is possible to arrange a study on the age group of the BTC users, you will come to know the fact that most of the BTC users are the young people from the age 18 to 35.

I really like the Bitcoin theme and the opportunity to earn with the help of crypto currency, and for today I'm still considering Bitcoin as a means of earning and therefore in my opinion I could only invest gold, because for today Bitcoin is only a commodity for me.
Well I don’t agree that the bitcoin is the same as the gold and the diamond. There is no doubt that the bitcoin have got popularity and people are now accepting it as a form of money but I guess the function of both the gold and the BTC is very different. Gold is been used from ages and also it have a physical existence while the BTC is something on a very high risk all the time having no physical existence in the real world. Therefore I prefer gold.

Both, but i prefer to bitcoin.

Because, estimates bitcoin prices for the next 10 years increase as more and more internet users.
well for those who's looking for long investment bitcoin can still goes up a little bit more as we see how fast the value rises up unlike gold
which already been traded for much long time and the price rise is not that much at all, bitcoin will be more valuable maybe after 5-10 years
from now.

Bitcoin is definitely the best since you can do anything with it. Buying thing on the internet, pay your bills, invest your money, earn money on the Internet. Therefore, Bitcoin is dabest in this field.
Bitcoin has the overall advantage, but that's mainly due to its digital nature. It's basically an unfair question to task here on a Bitcoin forum as obviously 95% of the people have a bias towards Bitcoin. Put this same question in the spotlight there where the average joes are the far majority in number - outcome will be completely different (in the same way, it will be an unfair question to ask). Especially in the way that these people like the physical aspect of Gold - it adds an extra bit of value to Gold.

Do not hold gold
Who are you to tell people to not hold Gold? People can hold both Gold and Bitcoin alongside each other without any problems.

I still have doubt in my mind but when u really weigh things based on their characteristic or composition,i have to go with bitcoin.The more bitcoin becoming known to everybody,the bigger the value becomes.Compared to gold,it may be high in appraisal,but not as high as bitcoin.
