I think gold is a safer bet.  Bitcoin has more upside but is riskier.  I wouldn't put everything into it.
gold movement is very slow, you will not be able to get great benefit in gold
Everything is not to make profit out of it and specially not the currencies which are solely made for a P2P transactions like Bitcoin.It will be a lot better when there is no one person to control the price and majority of it will be spread among the general users,so that you wont be a victim of the plan.

A little bit of both, so you can be on the safe side. Bitcoin more risky, but more rewarding .
agree bitcoin have more risky but you can get more profit on there. different with gold. the price will not rise too high. it will not give you a lot of advantages, in contrast with bitcoin, the price is very volatile but you can ear profit from there

Yes indeed, if the bitcoin will collapse you still got something where you can make profit with so its a backup.
And its also working in the opposite if the gold will collapse in the market, what will not happen of course.

Gold is better to invest for a long term if you compare it with the bitcoin market, the bitcoin is just a digital currency.
The gold can be touched and is more secure to hold long term because since we are born we already pay with gold and know it.

Bitcoin is not only a currency, but it's also an investment tool and Bitcoin can also be used to store wealth. If you look at how small Bitcoin and the economy around it is right now, then you will see that there is a lot growth that we can gain. It makes Bitcoin a more than perfect long term investment with much more room for profit than gold.

Usually more risk will lead to more reward and less safety. However it seems that currently gold market has more fluctuations compared to previous times.

That is for each person different. I think everybody likes gold and Bitcoin. Some people love gold more than Bitcoin, but that is their own choice so you should respect that.
In my opinion I like Bitcoin more. it is a good payment method, and it works very well so that is the reason I like it.

Yes it depends on everyone's personal preference for instance i like both and wants to invest in both bitcoin as well as gold.

Its true, but if you look at the market gold is already on top for how many years..
I think its time for a change, and the bitcoin will do that, the bitcoin is the future of all currency's.

I like them both. But I like gold more then Bitcoin. I dont know why, But maybe I can hold gold in my hand or something.
I dont trust 100 percent that much. I heard some from some people that they are hacked in their online wallets.

Who said dude. Gold will not give a big profit like bitcoin, If you buy some bitcoins now You can receive more value after halving. Gold we can't get like that. you can't get big profit by that.

so you choose bitcoin because you are in part in bitcoin. This would be different if you ask at the users gold, they would choose the gold with their own reasons, there should be a neutral person, to judge which one is better

Its a reasonable point because maybe jewellers who use gold for their design products are holding gold and its naturally an investment for them that allows them to do business but also security.   If people are in bitcoin business then they are biased to that, there is the idea of hedging with assets not exposed to your trade or income source but I think most invest in what they know and that is best

Would go with both with the current state of the market, that's in regard to the US market at least.
-  With the falling of the US Stock markets and Oil just plummeting, it makes people turn into more conservative investments such as gold.
- Bitcoin due to the fact that I feel that it is starting to stay at the current price, and once it is implemented into everyday life then you should be fine with that investment.

So, without all the Jazz I would go with both.

GOLD:

+ Widely known
+ Holds value for longer - low volatility

- Hard to carry - low mobility
- Hard to store

BITCOIN:

+ High mobility
+ Easy to store, despite you'll need to study a bit about encryption, passwords and so on
+ Ability to exists in no physical or software existence at user side (brain wallets) - I know for many this may sound as a disadvantage and start calling bitcoin "vapor" or similar claims, yet you probably have some bank note at your wallet and be unaware that that currency has no real existence whatsoever, a 10 dollar bill doesn't worth 10 dollars, it represents 10 units of an abstract currency we call USD.

- Less known
- High volatility - means value can take hard swings either way.

Both gold and bitcoin are good.
But I personally go with bitcoin. I like bitcoin. I work in bitcoin, I have invested in bitcoin. I do trade bitcoin. I know bitcoin's future  better than gold. so I think bitcoin is, for me a better choice always...
so you choose bitcoin because you are in part in bitcoin. This would be different if you ask at the users gold, they would choose the gold with their own reasons, there should be a neutral person, to judge which one is better
