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?
We could not compare holding gold with holding bitcoins.Gold has been saved as a store value for centuries.So its quite natural that it has a vast user base all over the world.But bitcoin has just crossed its initial eight years and so it has less volume of user base when compared to gold.But since bitcoin price is increasing highly and its giving huge returns to its investors unlike gold,many gold investors too have started investing in bitcoins.So the user base of bitcoins would increase more in the future. 
Topic: Holdings of gold vs Holdings of btc - page 40. (Read 62794 times)
Gold vs bitcoin discussion is the one of the most repeated topics on this forum. Well holding bitcoin for long time can give a huge profit but it involves high risk, however holding gold for a long time can't give a huge profit but it involves minimum risk.
It is a common discussion but we need to be honest, it is one of the most entertaining topics there are, gold is for those that are already happy with their wealth and want to maintain it, but for those of us that want to earn more money bitcoin is the clear winner. Holding both is possible and more of an assurance.
Holding gold seems most practical and most realistic because of its physical value.
Rather than holding BTCitcoin who has many vulnerabilities and risks.
The biggest risk of bitcoin is the price that is not fixed. While gold is relatively stable and has been trusted for hundreds of years. Gold will remain a valuable asset and jewelry of every person. Bitcoin is a future exchange tool. Both will be the same as a solid commodity in the future.Holding gold seems most practical and most realistic because of its physical value.

I think both are equally good choices, but for me for a percentage I better prioritize bitcoin because it has proven to be profitable faster than gold that seems slow moving.
Both gold and bitcoin has a great value and you will never miss any single profit for choosing any of them. Just like the economists are saying, gold, silver are money and bitcoin is money as well. You will not lose for choosing one of them but for me, since I know bitcoin is the best and I'm still not entering the gold scene, I'll go first with bitcoin too.
Bitcoin gives us the opportunity to earn capital, which can be invested in gold.
But gold does not make a big profit, its price is stable and will never fluctuate as the price of bitcoin.
Both of these assets are good in their own way
Gold can just make you big money if you will have a lot of gold and capital. But in bitcoin it's totally reversed, though you will have a small capital, you can grow it with a lot of ways, gamble, trade and sell stuffs. The advantage in bitcoin is it's movement and growth, we definitely are seeing on how fast the grow of bitcoin.

With the gold that's actually not true, Gold can give huge profits expecially when there is financial crisis in one of the big economies in the world, traders seem to go in for gold whenever a crisis happens either financial or terrorist attacks, it's the safest bet for them.

Also on the Bitcoin Discussion Thread, it's really tiring but with this kind of topic opens a lot of ideas on what would be better , bitcoin or gold is something that must be well discussed, but gold is already standardized and bitcoin is on infant stage and not yet globally accepted, with this kind of discussion i think people will realize that bitcoin is not yet on the level of bitcoin in many different areas.Gold vs bitcoin discussion is the one of the most repeated topics on this forum.

For me, Holding both is better than having nothing, Gold is globally accepted and standardized rather than bitcoin which is in infant stage, uncertain and unsure, internet-dependent coin. However, both things have their own strength, having both without comparing to one another will not hurt anyone, for me you should really buy both and save it, there's no harm from trying.

If I would be given an opportunity to hold bitcoin and gold then I would have more bitcoin than gold because bitcoin is gaining much for a short term than gold. Gold has been existing for a long time and have been known all over the world so holding it is also a good source of investment. Because of the volatility of bitcoin, many people still prefer gold because of its stability and it exist physically while bitcoin only exist online so gold is less risky than bitcoin but as what others say the higher the risk, the higher the returns so I prefer bitcoin over gold.

This is what I’m doing as well, gold is a good investment but at the moment bitcoin is better so it is natural that we put an higher percentage of our savings in bitcoin than the amount we put in gold, also if you can diversify yourself and buy some altcoins as well then your earnings are going to be even better.

You could have chosen an investment in bitcoin because it gives you an advantage in the near term but of course the risk that you will get will be much greater than investing in gold. Bitcoin is very volatile if you do not have the patience of course you will get only defeatI think both are equally good choices, but for me for a percentage I better prioritize bitcoin because it has proven to be profitable faster than gold that seems slow moving.

But why not we hold that thing which will give us more benefit?I will suggest that we have to hold bitcoin because its price is increasing very faster and it will make us rich within a smaller time while gold will take years to earn us some profit.
True.Now a days many use to inverse on bitcoin rather in gold.Gold price will gradually rise year by year .While in bitcoin ,price will reach suddenly. Keeps on increasing in the year.So bitcoin is the best source of inversing then gold.I prepare bitcoin only not gold.

Gold has been stored for centuries as an investment and also used a an ornament.It has gained trust of people world wide for decades.Huge volume of people are holding gold as an investment.But bitcoin has been introduced just eight years ago.Earlier,it was mostly used as a currency.From past two years after its price has raised tremendously and so people started considering bitcoin as an investment.So,in no way,volume of bitcoin holders could reach volume of gold holders.I think both are equally good choices, but for me for a percentage I better prioritize bitcoin because it has proven to be profitable faster than gold that seems slow moving.

If you want a quick profit of course you can choose to invest in bitcoin. Because bitcoin has a fluctuation in its market price, so it allows you to make a profit in a short time but sometimes you need patience. Because the price may sometimes not match your expectations.There are a lot of traditional investment out there that promise a safe return but they only give a small rate so it's your choice if you want to stay safe but always bear in mind that those people who succeeded in life and get a good amount in investment are those who take the bigger risk.
There are a few key differences:
Liquidity and fees: it's much easier, and less costly as a % of principal, to buy/sell bitcoin than it is to buy/sell gold. This is positive for bitcoin.
Time: gold has been used as a store of value for thousands of years, and will probably be used as a store of value in the future. Bitcoin is still in its infancy. This is positive for gold.
Practical value: Gold is used for some industrial processes, but rarely. Bitcoin has a ton of uses as a means of exchange. Positive for bitcoin.
Transport, Transporting gold is difficult and dangerous, you need specialized equipment and even armed guards if you are transporting an important amount of gold, also it is impossible to do this without people noticing it, in the other hand you can transport a huge amount of bitcoin in an usb or a paper wallet and no one will notice and it is way easier to do this in bitcoin. That is a positive for bitcoin. Liquidity and fees: it's much easier, and less costly as a % of principal, to buy/sell bitcoin than it is to buy/sell gold. This is positive for bitcoin.
