i will choose 60% of assets in gold, and 40% of assets in bitcoin. I think gold is much more stable and less risky

I'm not going to halve investment like that, when the price of one of them falls, of course benefit from one another will only cover,
I prefer to invest in one of them, maybe just bitcoin

Bitcoin is new and can grow to the next level
Gold is old and stays gold.

But still I choose Gold, since if offers me more security of my funds/money.


Security is the top priority for most of the people as well but if you are looking for security then there is nothing better than bitcoin. Bitcoin with cryptography offered the highest possible security in the world if you store your bitcoin in cold wallet, with gold it can still be stolen but with cold wallet and keep it secured with paper wallet then it is a different story

It's probably Bitcoin.
You can use the bitcoin if you want to buy a goods.

Probably Bitcoin. Atleast I could actually use it to buy something instead of gold which I would just have to speculate on if it will sell high or low

If given a choice to walk away with either Bitcoin or gold of equivalent value, what would you pick?

Asians and Westerners were asked in Taipei in Chinese and English if they would take Bitcoin or gold home with them that day, and the answer might surprise you...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6GiC8dqN9A

We just shot a video outside the Taipei 101 skyscraper area here and gave people a chance to answer if they would walk away with either Bitcoin or gold- and why.

If you were approached and were offered the same deal, would you walk away with Bitcoin or gold in your pocket, and why???

i will pick bitcoin,because bitcoin price more expensive,and easy to carry,i dont think virtual gold is good for me,and the price not fluctuate as bitcoin,and also bitcoin can used for payment,gold is can't.

Gold price is too high i do not think gold invest is good because of my way is for Bitcoin for now.

Well the bitcoin price is quite high too.
But I would go for bitcoin all the time. It's the only thing with potential for growth.

That is the correct thing to do, diversifying the investment is the key to success, as gold is older as compared to bitcoins and people rely more on gold then bitcoins, So it is better to invest in both as if you incur loss from one you can recover it from the other investment that you have made.

I will choose both Bitcoin and Gold because both are necessary for a reliable and prosper future which will ensure freedom,decentralization and security for your investments.Fiat money is loosing its value just those two mentioned above are good.

Bitcoin is the only choice to make your future secure and richer.We are marching towards a cashless society where only digital currencies will be used.Bitcoin being core currency will become very very valuable so be wise and choose right thing.

It is always wise move to put your fortune in many things and to not invest or keep in any single thing.Not only Bitcoin and Gold but also in fiat money all three are good.Bitcoin has future and going to be very valuable while Gold is trusted and has its own valued for centuries whereas cash is king.So pick all three for more safer and realistic move.

Investing in physical gold would in theory be safer than any other form for asset. Gold won't crash - EVER but Bitcoins could crash in the future. If the price on gold falls, you could allways sell it, and make some money back.

Gold is gold, it's been here a long time so people put trust in it.

Bitcoin is new and people are afraid of new things.

The more reason they have to be is because of the volatility. For me though bitcoin is safer and better.

In long term, bitcoin is safer and better. But in short term, the price changes a lot. We have to be patient.
Bitcoin is better, but maybe it is good you choose parts of your money for investing in Gold, specially considering current situation

The future of gold is far better then bitcoin as I guess, gold is in existence since a long time and it has more customer base and market cap as compared to bitcoins, and people have more faith in gold as they don't have exact idea of bitcoin, so the older generation would never invest their money in gold, but if you want to make good and quick profits then bitcoin is better.

It's probably been said before, maybe even in this thread, but bitcoin is here to stay.

After 7 years, bitcoin will be around, as long as the internet exists, just like torrents are going to be around as long as the internet exists.

Your worst case scenario is if the internet disappears, or electricity disappears. It can happen in small parts of the world, but not the whole planet. By then, we'd have bigger problems and bitcoin would be the least of your worries.

Regardless, the doomsday preppers will have gold, other precious metals, bitcoins, other cryptocurrencies, canned goods, stocked biscuits, weapons, tools, etc.

the final outcome is probably, that everything is here to stay, i'm not seeing any scenario where major fiat collapse or bitcoin died or something like that

more likely that all those payment system will work together, and offer alternative for the people

Gold is more precious to me in the way that you can touch it and you  know it's value.
With bitcoin the innovating part is what I like and since it is new age, it's nice to be a part of it.

So I wouldn't pick anyone, just will keep both of them.

Lol… For me always I would Like to choose bitcoin only because If you compare price of bitcoin with gram of gold means also Bitcoin’s rate is high. Due to adaption and halving price is getting grow everyday. So Now and future my choice is bitcoin only.

It's depend on us, what do we want to choose,  I would prefer gold than btc now, because right now  gold is a safe heaven for almost all people in the world. I don't know in future if btc could compete with gold.

Its 65-35, Bitcoin to Gold. I am not going to spend gold, but I will spend some of the bitcoins. That is how I contribute to the Bitcoin Ecosystem.

That is a good mix. Tranfer 35-35 gold & bitcoin to the next generation.
Spend around 30% of your bitcoins.
