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?
Gold is more for sure. Gold is surely not worth holding instead of bitcoin but there are many who are still not aware of bitcoin hope that one day gold will increase but unfortunately it is less likely ti happen unless government decides. Reaching the same user base of gold isn't possible because I'm pretty sure there are more worth of gold than bitcoin .

gold is not better then btc, coz u can't buy or sell gold like btc so for me btc holding better then gold.
yes you are right gold is not much better than holding bitcoin because the price of bitcoin is very fluctuate and due to which bitcoin buy and sell is very profitable but the price of gold is very much stable, so holding gold will not be very profitable and also the holding bitcoin for long run is the way to gain a big profit.
Gold prices are more stable than bitcoin.
Long-term investment is definitely profitable.
But now Bitcoins is the most valuable than gold.

Yes you are right that bitcoin is better than gold and I also have some reasons that gold is among us from longer period and it was used as currency in the past but after that it was considered as not fit to be used as a currency so it cannot compete bitcoin which is considered as more better than normal currencies. 
i think it is better to hold some bitcoins rather than golds,,bitcoins is the most valuable in the cryptocurrency right now, meaning if you just hold some of it you can gain some profits or big profits in the near future,, Gold is centralized government get taxes from it.
So just because a certain coin has the highest exchange rate, it is automatically better than the rest? That's basically what you are saying. It doesn't work like that -- the value of a certain coin in terms of its exchange rate only matters if everything behind it has the ability to justify that value. There have already been certain coins with a much higher exchange rate than Bitcoin, but that doesn't mean anything.... Same applies to market caps.
In long term run and simulation. Bitcoin will generate much more profit than gold does. But there is a risk of stability in holding bitcoin while gold is very safe.
My holdings in Gold are less. Maybe not even 1% and not of it is physical. Call me crazy but i prefer bitcoin in every way possible.
For a back up when fiat stats crashing, for a investment instrument and yes even as an payment instrument

We can say this because we are earning bitcoin but this shouldn't be debated as both things are profitable to us. Both has their own good preferences and the best thing into it is you can diversify your capital for these very good investment. Bitcoin is investment and currency while gold is also the same, both things can be a good asset.

Gold is way more stable then bitcoin, however holding gold alone is not smart, same applies for bitcoin, since it is volatile. The best thing is to diversify your assets and thus make it possible to profit from bitcoin's volatility and gold' stability.
When a currency crash happens you are 'safe'
Do you mean in this forum or in general? Because no matter the group you are referring it is impossible to know the exact number, but if you mean in general I think the holdings of gold will be many times over the holdings of bitcoin, but in this forum I suppose the holdings of bitcoin are going to be bigger than the holdings of gold.
These days the gold stores are much than the bitcoin holders but I think it is due to the initial stage of bitcoin . the bitcoin prices is going up and down so the traders are now interested in bitcoin and in future people will invest in bitcoin instead of gold or other thing I think bitcoin has a bright future. I prefer to hold my bitcoin, for long term when compared with gold, because we know bitcoin prices always change while the price of gold is quite stable, so to get the profit is very small
yes there is no doubt that holding bitcoin is more profitable in present time as compare to gold. because the price of bitcoin can increase more, while the price of bitcoin mostly remain stable and we cannot expect such a good profit from it.

Gold is ever green market . Holding of gold is much more than Btc
No, xLittlegirly, thousands times NO. Read the comments above in this thread were it was proven that gold is not at all always a safe investment.

Gold was 1,838 USD/oz in July 2011 and today it's 1,249 USD/oz.
See? People who invested in gold in July 2011 lost their money. Not everything but a big part of it.

It may be fit for the people who is not aware bitcoin but you are known about bitcoin I guess then how bitcoin is not better than gold for you. Gold is long run stock which accepted by world community but bitcoin will replace that place with its potential. Bitcoin may be fear for some people due to price fluctuation but this rectified and price is moving peak again. So invest on bitcoin instead of gold.

If it has a chance to hold both I think it's a very good thing, because bitcoin and gold are very promising investment tools for the future, but if one of them, I think, bitcoin is better, because bitcoin has a flexible function, For investment, but also for business.
i think most of the people cannot afford to keep both bitcoin as well as gold. some people like investment, while other people like saving. those people who like investment they should choose gold, because gold is the best option for saving. as we can expect that the price of gold remain as more stable. I prefer to hold my bitcoin, for long term when compared with gold, because we know bitcoin prices always change while the price of gold is quite stable, so to get the profit is very small
Some might argue that Bitcoin price can also go down, not only up, but I agree with you, it is always up in the long term. And Gold btw can go down too. Gold was 1,838 USD/oz in July 2011 and today it's 1,249 USD/oz. Don't forget that the purchasing power of USD went down a bit since, so it wasn't a good investment at all buying gold in 2011 - 2012.
I think holding of gold is better because gold is more stable than Bitcoin. Price of Bitcoin is very volatile. Gold is also more popular and more people are interested in holding gold over bitcoin.
If you want your investment will never get the dump on its price and just try to save your investment on the gold form But bitcoin gives more opportunities for you to grab or doubled your investment anytime. Bitcoin will become popular as gold.
