Nobody will know if you give 1Kg or one Ton of gold to someone hand to hand.   Wink

Unless you tell them....

Or unless you try to pass the border with it.

It's not that hard:

I would choose Bitcoin, as I know quite well about it.

Right now, bitcoin would be the best thing. It's easily trade-able and valuable in our time.

But theoretically speaking, gold is what drives out economy. If this was a previous time, gold would have been the best choice since gold is what controls the economy.

Bitcoin is by far the better investment. Maybe it wont be in the long term, but definitely for the considerable future. Gold has its uses, though.

I'd pick bitcoin. I think bitcoin is far better than gold in many ways, especially as a currency. Before I'd heard of bitcoin I would have liked to own some gold bullion, but I think bitcoin is a much better investment now.

I would walk away with Gold.

OP, what makes you think that a 5 year old "experiment" is worth more than gold which has been proven as store value and has been around for ages and is physical?

OK, maybe some of us should get our shit straight.....

I like BTC, alot.......

But.......   many buts......

Too early for anyone to make that comparison....
Don't you think?

I don't think, cite one alternative way to transfer wealth anonymously accross border and people, and I might review my comment Wink

Gold, Silver and Bitcoin. I would not be all in on one alone.

Diversifying your investment is the best strategy, especially when dealing with extreme-high-risk investments such as Bitcoin and Litecoin. No one should forget that Bitcoin could become worthless in a matter of seconds, if someone successfully does double spending.

choose both?  half BTC, half in gold.  Grin



I like the way you think!

Right, both can be a good idea. Do not put your eggs in the same basket, right. Tongue

It depends on the mood when I am asked this question. If I feel depressed and pessimistic, I like gold. If I feel optimistic, I'll take bitcoin.

Gold, every day all day.  Time will tell, but when the economic USD shit hits the fan, people will flock to gold-silver, not btc.  There's no historical precedence for it.  Btc is a bubble.

nah its to easy to insert capital controls on gold, to hard to transport it and cut it up to actually use, and it can be confiscated.

Force can always be used against gold and always has. Force can not change maths.

Bitcoin has become stagnant in the last time. I wonder if it will rise much, let's see. I would better invest in gold.

Gold still remains unbeatable
Until people realize Bitcoin is a superior store of wealth, and dump all their gold in favor of BTC. The value of gold will plummet whenever we hit that critical inflection point.

This is a question of when, not if.

If and when this does happen, I agree with you that the precious metals market will sell off. And with that correction, it may present an excellent opportunity to look at the metals.
