Both are good: gold for stability, BTC for growing potential.

I'd take both Smiley If that's an option. BTC and gold are the real deal, fiat is nothing.

i will take bitcoin because i believe that bitcoin has much bigger potential in price.

I would also use bitcoins to buy/sell things which you can't do with gold.

Gold is controlled by the government and they have the ultimate explanation about the value of gold. that's why and how inflation appear. the reason why bitcoin exist is to take the right back and we don't need the government tell us what's the standard value of Gold.

As I thought, gold is on an interesting downtrend, breaking another support and confirming a 5-years low. Until now, Bitcoin and gold were strongly correlated: http://www.ibankbitcoins.com/sites/default/files/users/user1/2014-11-04_chart.png probably because of us dollar policies being (temporarily) changed, but now Bitcoin seems to be detaching from this death spiral and this could be the best time to buy if there are some confirmations.

I don't see much more downside in gold even with QE 'ended'... watch the ECB take up the slack. From here on down seems a good buy to me.

We are slightly below a main support, but it's obviously too soon to say what will happen. The news confirming that markets take in account for more gold than what's really available could be a positive news for some, but that' just silly speculation.

I've always wanted to own some gold bullion even from when I was a kid, but I'd rather have the BTC at the moment. Easier to store and spend, though I did see recently gold buillion bars with bitcoins on them. Owning one of them would be cool.

Kind of undecided for now. The low btc price looks tempting. While traditionally people have been relying on gold as safe storage of investment, it's about time btc make a difference. You can keep btc safe in your computer (if you know how to do it properly) plus it's free while for gold you just can't keep it at home. You need to pay for storage. So there's a pro and con here. Most likely I'll opt for btc and I hope I've made the right choice

Gold, 80%. Bitcoin for the other 20%.

Gold should only be treated as an insurance. If you expect the world to go down the sink, having lots of gold doesn't mean one will be well off as standard of living also gone down.

I always pick Gold. Intelligent guys always pick gold.

The idea is to be diversify : Physical Gold stored oversea, Bitcoin, energy stocks on foreign companies..

After seeing bitcoin drop like that, gold is a better choice...

Maybe Bitcoin is cheap now so it is a buying opportunity

With the FED ending its QE right now I think we will see both assets fall for the time being or at least stay where they are, but soon enough another QE will be announced, it's just about picking the right time to buy both, because this round could be of a huge impact.

I don't see much more downside in gold even with QE 'ended'... watch the ECB take up the slack. From here on down seems a good buy to me.
