Does anyone have any idea how many people are using gold as a store of value vs btc?  And how long do you think until we have the same user Base as holders of gold?
No doubt gold has more user base than bitcoin because bitcoin have less 50 million users - what is important here is which one is more valuable. Gold has medium value with market security while bitcoin has huge value and less market security in terms of fluctuation.

Does anyone have any idea how many people are using gold as a store of value vs btc?  And how long do you think until we have the same user Base as holders of gold?

I think people would still prefer gold than bitcoin, or maybe both. Since gold is something you can see and touch, it is more valuable than bitcoin. For sure, gold will be more valuable in the future.

In my opinion, what if bitcoin will be banned or internet will be somehow shutted down, then you'll only bid farewell on your dear bitcoin, so people would prefer gold.
No bitcoin will be never banned because bitcoin is a digital currency and it will be more work for long time, and internet will not shut down because many people work in internet, so you can easily invest in bitcoin and it will give you big profit than gold investment because gold price not going to high day by day as bitcoin price.

Gold are the mean of exchange for thousand of years. It hard to be replaced because some people think that gold are much more secured than bitcoin which is too risky.
That's the reality, we are living in this world and we always think that those who exist longer are better without realizing that it's all about finding opportunity. Bitcoin is quite new and there's still more room to grow for success on bitcoin, therefore we should be wise enough to ride with the success which it's still growing, bitcoin will definitely change the financial system of the world, slowly but it's getting consistently use.

if you are doing trading then according to me holding of BTC is best choice as compare to holding of gold because
price of BTC is very high as compare to gold and small change in BTC can give you big profit and big loss also but the possibility of getting profit is more because mostly price of BTC is increasing while gold price is low as compare to BTC while also price is not varying like BTC.

I think now is more profitable but less secure to hold BTC... but if crypto is the real future we have to expect the value of gold to minor compared to BTC.

If you want to be afraid of falling prices you better hold gold than Bitcoin because Bitcoin has an unstable price. Wink

We all had their own decision or idea and until now the gold was smuggled out of the crown even though its price asa actually bought at stores the value of btc was up and went up more than gold its holders for me when we are up to wait if there is a similar user base and holders in gold . for me bitcoin is not really equal compared to gold , because gold has its physical value and represent all economics. bitcoin  is a number that is possible is all lost due to gold .in comparison to our income gold and bitcoin should be the same .I think gold is still worth while in the coming years.

Well in my opinion, bitcoin will never be equal to gold because gold has physical value and represents for the whole economy while bitcoin is just numbers. One possibility for that to happen is we lose all our gold
now that things are develop on bitcoin! can we still say that holding gold is better than bitcoin or bitcoin will not beat gold ? well most people now are depending on bitcoin as a daily investment as we see the growth on price and earnings we are getting with bitcoin.

I think gold is a good hedge for historical reasons, but most people who own gold own it in an exchange-traded fund, which frankly isn't any better than bitcoin.
Maybe gold is the best when it comes to trading, but as for holding (as in Investment) I’m likely to go with Bitcoin, and my reason to  do that is because gold will bring to profit… whatever it makes will be very less, compared to what I will be making from Bitcoin. Bitcoin is very Volatile in price and it moves all the time, but gold is like something stagnant without making move.

Gold has always been increasing, the same goes with bitcoin. but there are a lot of difference between both.
We all know that gold exists for more than thousands of years, bitcoin has been created only nine years ago, it tell us all the difference.

fiat is based on bitcoin so I expect that the traditional mindset of people is to get more gold because a strong country has more gold in their vault but now that bitcoin surpass the price of gold its drawing a lot of attention not only to the investors but also to the masses who only want to earn some money to provide something for their daily need so its for you to decide which market would deliver you higher returns in this case is obviously bitcoins so people are investing to it its the main stream now!..

It is obvious that holding of bitcoin is more profitable than holding gold. Observe the market of the bitcoin in this year, you will find out that the price of the bitcoin increased 1000% + . Bitcoin investment is more profitable than gold investment.

Holding BTC all the way, GOLD is the old fashioned.
BTC is the new gold.
Exactly i think people those who choose gold over it are not aware of bitcoin or not so aware of technology. People choosing for gold do that with the intention to use it as a long term store of wealth solution. Short term profits are not relevant for them. Bitcoin as it is, is only a speculative investment option. It's not that people shift from gold to Bitcoin.
People should invest in bitcoin because bitcoin is the best forum to earn money and also invest in this forum, investment in bitcoin is make your life more beneficial, its depend on you as long hold your money in bitcoin it will get you good profit but if you invest on gold and you wait for profit it will risky because gold's price very slowly high and it will hold your money for very long time.

Actually it is hard to identify who amongst the investors are using gold nor bitcoin. Different investors has different preferences and of course investors will not divulge their investment to protect their privacy. But between the two holdings of bitcoin is better because the market value is really growing and more and more investors are showing interest in investing in bitcoin.

I think ill go for holding gold because gold is immortal they have value anytime,anywhere or etc.
Gold will last long forever until the day you die the existence of gold in the whole world will not die unlike bitcoin we didnt know where or when will gone.
Bitcoin has limits why? Because if you have no internet connection you cant access your wallet while gold you can keep them in your bag,cabinet or in the land.
But when it comes to the price" right now" it will be bitcoin favor because gold cant increase price like bitcoin because the  market statistics/graph of bitcoin is increasing too much but gold is like the same price but we are talking about "holding" means its a long term investment like 5-10 years  so if you take risk you go to bitcoin but if you want a less risk you go to the gold.
