borrow 2000 more and but bitcoins for 4k

There is good advice and then there's advice you shouldn't really give, because it may get people into losing borrowed money. It's alright if you want to go long margin, yourself, but people should be very careful doing so.

Oops, I forgot to mention that those 2k should be borrowed from local drug dealers because their money is probably dirty and they can't sue you for not being able to pay back. WIN WIN!

then they kill you

At least then when you lose all the money you won't owe anything back,

Clearly Bitcoins have a great chance to double, triple, or more in less than a year. Gold will not do that well.

Bitcoins have a great chance to be worth half, one third, or less a year from now. Gold will probably not do that bad.

Nice adoption of the losing group mentality. If only I could reclaim the time I lost reading that.

Buy gold, then go find another forum and hobby since crypto is not for you.

They are both good investments in my opinion. It's always a good idea to diversify, you should buy an ounce of gold, or a gold ETF and then buy some bitcoin.

It seems like a lot of people are shakey on bitcoin as the direction heads still being in the $200.

I think personally, you should invest $2,000 all in gold, and then invest with the small profit cap you get from it to bitcoin. Keep on taking the advantage of the time since, bitcoin prices were same as 3 years ago.

If you did that with gold you would of profit enough to buy a couple of bitcoins by now since its still $200.

Gold is in kind of a risky situation as well, though. At the moment it costs more to mine it than it's worth, causing a lot of rift in the market. It's going to be interesting to see if it perks up or crashes completely since a lot of big names are moving out of the precious metals.

Not-so wise words from someone with such a long time on this forum since we all know how time on this forum is certainly a measure of a persons knowledge in Bitcoin/altcoins.

Sit on those BTC while they trail. I'll stick to what I do and make my BTC grow. Kiss

the chance of bitcoin to going higher is above the change of it going lower, if you see the full chart from 2009 to today you will understand why

gold on the other hand is the definition of stagnant...

gold is not even stagnant if you look from 2011 till today. But gold's purpose is to protect what you have in the time of a total meltdown. This is very likely not coming in 2015, thus the answer what to choose is pretty simple.

Both, Gold and BTC get manipulated. Pick whatever you want.

BTC gets manipulated much easier.

BTC can be manipulated easier but there isn't as much manipulation as there are no large entities like the US government or MASSIVE banks or investors that are currently manipulating it. If some bank wanted to manipulate it they could easily do it as the btc market capitalization is too small.

Gold price gets manipulated from the us government. They made the riches richer and the poor lost again.

Completely agree. Besides , Bitcoin is in still infancy. The real big explosin in price will happen after masses start to use it.
Now, we are still relatively small community. Whenever new services are released , more and more people will use bitcoin. And that day you will regret to buy from todays price.

So, OP. Buy at least 80 % BTC and 20 % gold. And if you dont need money urgently. You can hold 100 % BTC.

Ps: Not an investment advice.
