I have not actually followed the price movement of gold. And I have only been into bitcoin for almost a year. So I cannot decide yet which to take. But since there is a law in investment that says do not put all your eggs in one basket, then I can say if these two are really good investments, we should invest in both of them.

I would never put all eggs in just one basket, Better diversify your investments and having both
Having both gold in bitcoin must be a good option, still having more percentage in bitcoin must be modern investment requirement. Gold is a traditional investment type and stays very lowers site in terms of returning when compared to bitcoin. To have all the benefits of modern digital world, we must go for bitcoins with the most stakes.

gold is only longterm investment
not shortem investment
because is wave price gold is flate in day, in real market in physic gold
is shorterm investment bitcoin the best choose

That isn't 100% accurate, the price rate of Gold is definitely getting stronger. The price of Gold is more reliable than Bitcoin IMO.

With that typed in, the volatility of Digital Currencies will lead to people making more money possibly buying Gold in the near future.

Since Physical Gold is usually held and not day traded, it would be wise to collect and hold some because it seriously is a good money maker.
yeah times already prove that the price of gold always getting stronger day by day,gold is such a precious in this world that's limited to certain peoples,even bitcoin is also limited but gold have a physical that bitcoin don't it's existence is already recognited,thus make gold having quite stable price
not the current price of gold has started to fall from the highest point, I think it is irrelevant if we hope can earn big profits by investing in gold.

3) Gold is at the start of a new bull market with many predicting $5000 by 2020

This is actually going to happen!

I have researched on this subject for quite a while, and trust me, the gold prices are going to sky-rocket in the near future. The supply is falling, and the demand is exploding... and what happened to bitcoin in 2013 is going to happen with gold in 2017 or 2018. I have already sold some of my equities to invest in gold. I am planning to buy even more later this year.

Can I choose both?  The two were not the same and have some advantage and disadvantage.  Gold has been there for a long time now and we know how stable it is.  Bitcoin price is not stable and we do not know how long will it last on the market.  Gold cannot be attain if you have no money to buy for it.  Whereas, bitcoin can be earned.


You can choose both. No one can stop you buying 1 BTC and 1 oz of gold the same time if you like and can afford both.

Yeah but this was just a question with if you HAD to choose though no? Anyways if I had the free choice then obviously I'd pick some in gold and some in bitcoin. Most of the part in gold for safety and a good chunk in bitcoin for profits.
It all depends on the capacity of the investor, if you afford to invest in gold go for it but if you do not have enough money its better to invest in bitcoin and save it and if you have a lot of bitcoin then you will decide if you invest in gold too.

I pick bitcoin over gold because I like the investment into bitcoin and I have all good hope for good values in the next years. Why would i want to waste that chance by investing into somethign that is so stable that it wouldn't make me any profit.

What do class as long term/ short term.

For me under 5 years is a short term investment.

I made a good profit over 2 years on gold cashing in on the Brexit gold price spike.  I made enough profit infact to pay off my mortgage and have some fun money left over.

Gold is waste of time.

So how did you come to that conclusion?

I presume you are unaware :

1) Gold price charts showing a 30% price increase Y2D
2) The fact that gold has outperformed stocks for the last decade
3) Gold is at the start of a new bull market with many predicting $5000 by 2020

Another prime example of someone that hasn't got a clue feeling the need to spread his infinite wisdom


Gold purchases are now quite easy, and the premium is going down. The last time when I purchased a 1g gold coin (1/32 oz.), I paid just 1% premium to the bullion merchant. Compared to that the premium for BTC is slightly higher. In my area, it is not possible to find some seller in Localbitcoins, who is willing to sell coins for less than 3% premium.

That is a great deal for such a small fractional piece of gold, I am now sticking to gold sovereigns and paying 2% over spot.

Gold is better as a long term investment with very low profit probability and mainly as a form of saving money, BTC is a very high risk investment and probability of making profit is high but probability of losing the invested money is high as well.

Yeah so what's your choice? I'd pick gold over bitcoin though if I had to deposit my whole networth. You could argue that you could get rich if you convert it to bitcoin but I wouldnt be ballsy enough to take that big of a risk.
Investing in gold depends on our financial status in life, I do believe to successfully invest with gold we need a good amount of money to ensure that in the future we will be able to get a decent amount of income, it's good when you have a good savings already as it would be easy for you but if you do not have, bitcoin is the best option.

yeah i think it depends on each person if you like either of them or think that both are potential investments you can buy them
make sure that you're planning a nice thing to get gains in gold and bitcoin

You do have a point about the difference of the two.  But it seems that bitcoin is for us.  We are here to earn since we do not have any money to buy for gold.  Gold is dangerous to have since people knew its value.  Bitcoin like what you have said can be eatned that is why bitcoin is for us.

who is this "we"?
everybody has some money to invest unless you are a bum living on the streets. so stop thinking about earning through your signature campaign and start thinking about some investments.

then you can see that Gold alongside Bitcoin can be a good combination for a good investment to diversify and reduce the risks.
Bitcoin is much affordable than Gold, but this two (2) having a great return of investment depending of how much your investment, earning in signature campaign can helps you to increase your investment in bitcoin and it is also possible that you can invest in gold by collecting more bitcoin.
Bitcoin has never been expensive because the expected value in the future is great, gold might be a stable investment but if we are talking of the potential to earn big even in a short period of time the answer would always be bitcoin.
