I would choose bitcoin since it has more volatile price compared to gold but if i have to choose and i have the money i would definitely choose both because these two things would give you profits on long terms for sure.
Actually if you are a trader you will be benefited much of the volatility of bitcoin, that's why good traders are now trading in the crypto world because they can make easy money doing some kind of day trading. Gold on the other hand is only good for long term investment and you need a good amount of capital to succeed.Portraying volatility as a benefit per se is nonsense, because volatility can also work to your disadvantage. It's true that traders are primarily interested in volatile assets, as they tend to be highly impatient speculators. However, traders are fooling themselves if they think that crypto trading equals making "easy money" - in fact the risk is even higher than with traditional assets. But since traders consistently overestimate their abilities they are unlikely to acknowledge that. Most traders end their activities with a negative return on investment, but will remain silent regarding their failure out of embarrassment
I tend to disagree. There would be no disadvantage in volatility if both assets that you sell and buy are equally valuable to you, for example, Bitcoin and dollar. Price stability, on the contrary, would definitely mean that the value of your portfolio remains the same whichever metric you may choose to gauge it in. In this sense, you don't particularly care which direction the price decides to go as long as it goes somewhere and doesn't stand still.
