Plus the bitcoin has a very good future so you could or do both or only pick the bitcoin in my opinion.
Bitcoin is better than gold. Gold is already scam-medium. The daily traded-gold volume is not available for trade. Its all fraud. They sell and buy more gold than available on world-markets... Same like the fiat...
Isnt that all the more reason to buy some of the physical metal.
When the paper games collapse, which they will in time the actual value of the metal will go parabolic.
Dont forget the China starts their own gold fix tomorrow on the 19th April which will favor physical metals over paper prices.

I actually considered this, only cause the stupid deficit is only growing..
So even if I dont see the paper pop out my life time, I`m sure I`ll see another financial crisis at least so I can hedge some way to profit.
