If the basis is at history and physical appearance i go for the gold. And if the basis is in the price and the oppurtunity to earn is go for the bitcoin but why you comparing the bitcoin to gold? Because we are here in bitcointalk so ithink bitcoin is the best.

It just means that they have different purposes and function. We can't just say gold is the best because it's really different in bitcoin. Gold is a precious metal and bitcoin is a currency. I agree with you, i still prefer on bitcoin for fast profit and that's why were here.

...

BOTH BTC and gold have done very well over the past few days.

I read that the GOLD MINERS are up 100% (average) so far in 2016. As a speculation, that has been at least as good as Bitcoin in 2016.*

I would suggest (and already do) HODL both. Diversification is a good thing as no one can predict the future.

* That outperformance will likely not last. Gold miners != gold.

I think its a good idea to own both, but that's all, more diversification beyond bitcoin and gold is in my book a waste of money. But if you want to get rich, you can't play safe, you gotta go all in, and the only thing that can make you rich in the following 5 years is Bitcoin. With gold you are not going to get any relevant gains, now Bitcoin marketcap is tiny and can easily make you rich in 5 years if you invest hard now.

Gold can never be a waste of money, look at the history and you will find your answers, its always safe to invest in gold as the life of bitcoin holds a big question mark.

it is obvious that Gold is never a waste of money but investing more in gold at this point (at least this year) means waste of good opportunity to get in on the bitcoin rocket to the moon and making a huge profit from it.

Gold will always be a safe haven, even for those who have high appetite for risk. Not only does it give you stability, it has better acceptability everywhere. Bitcoin could make a name for itself by serving another purpose because of the hassle-free and decentralized nature of it.

Gold is my favorite investment and I also invested a lot of money, I must say that the bitcoin is also a good thing to invest but this mostly for short investments like people already said.

I would go for the bitcoin because the bitcoin is much more profitable than the gold in a short term.
I honestly do not have the patient to stay waiting on the profit of gold.

I would go for the gold because with the gold one you can make a lot more dollars if you do it for a long term.
If you use the bitcoin you can gain a lot more profit on a short term than gold, so it both has advantages.

Gold per ounce is now valued at $1247, up by 6.65 from yesterday, so it's still gold for me. I'm a bit of an average person with medium-appetite risk tolerance, so I'm going to lean more towards having gold instead of bitcoin. But that might change if more years down the road, bitcoin becomes more stable and people accept it as an alternate currency. It's good that it is still in its early stages as there are a lot of opportunities for it to grow.

That is right. Just seeing this currency going up even if it is still young is a good sign that someday it can rise at a good level like gold and other investing currencies. There is still a lot that can happen.

Yeah i prefer gold also because it is precious mineral ang price for is movy and rise day or yearly the more It old the more ot has valued because today its very hard to mine that precious mineral and it has lots of use and its very usefull to jewelry industry. And bitcoin is just good for now and we dont know what may happen to it in future. And its very risky for stakers if bitcoin fell many people lose money but in gold the price is rising as market says.

If you have a lot of gold or you have an opportunity to get it gold is just better cause of safty, in other case bitcoin don't losing to gold and also have many positive sides.

Bitcoin for me. If you have many bitcoin you can hide it how many it is, you dont need big space to hide it. And gold needs big space and need more security to hide this .

I would choose for Bitcoin because it just more reliable I think. I believe that in the future the price will be higher then ever so I plan on selling them later on the in future for a profit.

Bitcoin is just the same as gold if you compared it by the price, gold has a stable price which is good for a long investment besides bitcoin has a volatile price and you can get profit from it everyday if you know how to manage it. Both if them are sure profitable...

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.

Bitcoin of course, growth for 10 years will be much greater than gold
but perhaps it would be more reasonable
Bitcoin / gold
70 / 30

I'll convert them 50/ 50. bitcoin and gold both. because in my openion both are reliable and trusted to investment and storable for long time.
bitcoin has more wealthy future according to today's rating.

Gold will stay here for ever and has a huge market cap, and that's what makes people see it as a good store of wealth tool.

That's true bitcoin is not so popular yet, and that is the reason people hesitate in investing in bitcoin a a moment and choose gold over bitcoin to earn secure profits.

Bitcoin has huge loads of room for seeing its value grow, but because it is still new in the world of investments people tend to take Bitcoin not so serious as it hasn't proven itself yet.
