i think going full investment at both of them or 1 of them is not a best choice, we must see other way to invest our money too, buying a house, apartement, building small bussiness etc. so many way to invest our money, so don't focus at bitcoin and gold, we must explore our mindset.
It all depends on where you live and what kind of investment is interesting enough to throw your money at. If I look at real estate here, then it's too expensive, and too few buyers with the money to actually buy it. In most cases it takes quite a long time to get rid of real estate, especially in the current economy. It's very weird, but even though the interest rates are in the very lows, people are saving money more than ever. But they don't plan to spend it on anything. Bitcoin is a great and exciting short and long term investment compared to other old fashion and boring investment options.
I agree that real estate has significant drawbacks as an investment. It's rather difficult to liquidate and you have to allocate significant amounts of money for a single object. Besides that you need to have the money (which I haven't) this greatly increases the risk, because what if the apartment / house you've bought turns out to have hidden structural damages? For the officialdom it's also really easy to put taxes and fees on real estate, because the owner can't easily run away with the property. Apart from that I think the prices are not reasonable in most locations these days. So real estate makes only sense, if you want to live in your own property and experience some emotional benefit from that.
Neither precious metals nor Bitcoin have these drawbacks. You can liquidate these very easily and you can also invest small sums. Taxation of these assets is also less likely, because it's much harder to implement. Also, in my opinion, the prices for precious metals and Bitcoin are still highly attractive...
ya.ya.yo!
