Both
Both is right answer for sure.
if we talk about 10 years.
Kind regards. ♥ BTC
Very true. Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your investment.
Original question is very wrong and dangerous.
Indeed.
We can say there is something connecting Bitcoin with Gold but this is clearly not the same basket and if you want to buy gold - buy gold. If you want to buy cryptocurrencies
buy Bitcoin!
So now better to invest money on both, bitcoin and gold?

Since I would like to at least retain the buying power of my wealth, and maybe even increase it, bitcoin is the higher risk/high reward route, and gold is the low risk/low reward. Adjusted for inflation, gold has spikes at times, but you are lucky to break even, and the dips can last awhile.
Compared to bitcoin, gold has a lot of disadvantages. There's theoretically an infinite supply, and even the limited supply available on the planet to be mined is a big unknown. Perhaps the big mining companies have a good handle on available supplies, but I don't have access to that information, so I'm at a disadvantage as a speculator. The max bitcoin supply on the other hand, is known to everyone.
Additionally, there's a lot of uncertainty in how much gold is available that has already been mined. How many whales are there? Who are they? Where is the gold? There's a chance that large holders have stores so deep that they could keep prices steady for years, if not decades. Again, bitcoin has the advantage because we know a lot about the big holders of coins.
And lastly, bitcoin actually has a significant use, as the method of payment within the bitcoin network. This network could be valued on par with other payment networks in the hundred of billions/trillions dollards. Gold uses are extremely limited.

IMHO now better to invest on bitcoin.

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.
With a 10 year horizon : Gold is my answer without a grain of doubt
Disclaimer : I'd never go all-in with Bitcoin (or any comparable virtual currency), as this would place my entire (little) wealth at very high risk.
gold cause btc could be banned someday/ somehow
I love Bitcoin, and I own plenty. But until Bitcoin is widely accepted, I would prefer gold.
I suspect you would already find it much more challenging to spend your gold at a fair value than to spend your Bitcoin at a fair value.
Not really. I prefer to stay away from exchanges and use sites such as LocalBitcoins where the Ad's to buy are 20-30% under market price and the Ad's to sell are 20%-30% above market price (which is a horrible idea, and I can't wait until a Bitcoin ATM is available in my city). And with gold, unless you take it yourself to a refinery you're going to be selling your gold at 20-30% under market value. But usually when you're buying, it's not hard to find it at market price, or 2-5% percent above.
Right now I have a fascination with silver and litecoins. I like the whole Gold, Silver, Bronze concept in cryptos.
Bitcoin=Gold
Litecoin=Silver
Peercoin=Bronze
Definitely not a fan of Ripples or any other centralized crypto that is to come.
