Topic: Brexit: Gold Might be a Better Bet Than BTC for a While (Read 1152 times)
Yep gold has always been there. It's been there since the times of gladiators and pyramid building. People used it before as their money. Even the bitcoin coin is made up of gold . But seriously, you can have some investment to both. Bitcoin shows a promising outcome if you want to have an investment. It become popular nowadays. If you are into investing try to have them both as these two gives promising income in investing.

Well bitcoin is better than gold for now for profit because of it's up and down price that is happening now. There's a big chance that one will profit from the current pump and dump. It might not be a safe haven for now but it is a good time to earn easy money on bitcoin.
Agree, if one person wants to do some investment and do not follow prices... for long term then gold may be better but there are some assumptions that bitcoin may increase very much. 
Everything in Britain is working as normal - we have our own currency, we control our own currency, we now are no longer part of the EU with it's mad ideas about confiscating people's savings via bail-ins (something Britain has never done in 1000 years of history).
Brexit has made Britain safer and your ordinary Brit isn't going to sell the blessed pound sterling for anything else.
Foreigners might panic though.
true, bonds that are under British law are much more secure than flimsy EU law (no collective action clause shit)
very possible that GBP survives the EUR
any fiat currency is a scamcoin but EUR is currently worst scamcoin, I wish the German Mark would still be around
---> we need EU referendums in EVERY FUCKING EU country
Many british people were not able to withdraw money as mentioned in the third posts here but I don't prefer to buy gold to escape this situation, bitcoin is much better and easier to manage them as it is digital asset instead of gold which is physically. Panic is everywhere even in bitcoin because of halving but hope this time will be good.
I would think it all depends on who had what connections during the Brexit, and those who knew people with ties to the precious metal distribution or mining industries could have potentially walked away with some gold or other precious metals before everything went down, but Bitcoin would have also been a relatively good investment, assuming that they had the money to go out and buy it at the time.Who believed that they will quit EU, the percentage was really near to each other, but i think gold is mostly everywhere in GB but investing in bitcoin can be better because I think that because of brexit bitcoin price has been increased a bit and hope it will rise more.
I don't know if the number of people is keeping increasing but the price is dropping down for a few days now and if people get more interested in bitcoin means that they will buy and price normally would increase but i think that is not happening, seems that people are more interested in gold rather than in bitcoin.
Fear can be for GBP with Brexit, not for gold. What Brexit will do with GBP, we willl see in the future. Gold always have some value in all countries. 
Bitcoin is after huge rally,btc is not safe heaven,gold is safe heaven
By the way,Will be voting in UK Parliment in Tuesday to repeat referendum

"... for a While"
And gold HAS been doing better than BTC since the Brexit results came in early Friday morning (US ET), last I looked gold was up some $9.00 in Asian trading tonight, while BTC is down.
It looks like The Fear Trade is to buy gold. BTC has not moved much either direction since then.

May be most of the traders don't know much about bitcoin so that they have invested much in traditional gold. However i am sure some of the cleaver trader have already started grabbing cheap bitcoin continuously before halving huge pump.
Yeah people are busy in buying coins to make good profits at halving, but the problem is price is not going higher as per the expectations and that is something really to worry about.

Gold jumped 18% in just 3 hours during the Brexit.
I bought a silver eagle yesterday, not because of brexit but because I like the coin and like to own silver. Gold is too rich for my pasty-ass blood, but I'd love to own some and I think it's definitely a good idea. But Jesus, the stock markets have overreacted quite a bit to this news. Probably the precious metals market, too, but not the bitcoin market.
I don't think bitcoin is a go-to asset like gold, though they both serve the same function as a store of value. Bitcoin is just way too volatile for that right now. Gold isn't and historically hasn't been.

Diversification gentlemen! Everyone should hold some gold and also the second largest market cap cryptocoin. You can carry the private keys to a million dollars in bitcoin in your pocket using a hardware wallet that will get through customs. Can't do that with gold.
Bitcoin is still a relatively new currency but doesn't compete directly with gold. You can have physical holdings of gold, held in secure vaults and it should be very safe. It's value is decided by the market and supply, but you tend to see long term trends. Bitcoin security has been good so far, but any exploits that come up could cause a sharp devaluation. The longer it has been around, the less likely that is to happen but being decentralised it inherently suffers from the weakness of the 51% attack.

No it hasn't lol. If you're talking about currency then yes (unless there's some small scale crazy unstable currency that's doing well somewhere?) but there are better assets in terms of growth out there.

A tiny pretaste of what is lurking due to fiat money and the entire system based on it. Gold is nice, but for transferring money, a bit impractical. A Mycelium or other mobile BTC wallet and a bit more acceptance, and we can take the banks out of the equation.

Those are FOREIGN Banks in foreign countries who are panicking.
Everything in Britain is working as normal - we have our own currency, we control our own currency, we now are no longer part of the EU with it's mad ideas about confiscating people's savings via bail-ins (something Britain has never done in 1000 years of history).

Gold has no upper limit; bitcoin is orders of magnitude more limited than gold is so as more people want bitcoins, they'll have to pay more to get some, plain and simple.
You make no sense. Bitcoin has way more potential of growth than gold. Gold needs billions and billions of dollars coming in to make big moves due its humongous marketcap. Meanwhile Bitcoin can go to mars if people move small % of their wealth in. In fact, Bitcoin has already outperformed every other asset on earth:
Bitcoin is king.
