@OP:
it depends at what are you aiming. If you go for more risk (and more gain) then the bigger BTC part the better. If you want to preserve your capital then 50/50 should be about right. Both BTC and gold can go down, gold after straight four years of down trend, is much less likely to still lose more than BTC.

thank all for the advise ive decided to go 20% on gold.  if bitcoin drops around 200 ish i will buy btc again and re sell if it goes to 400 ive effectively doubled my money this year so i think its a balanced move

depending on bitcoins success/failure i will monitor this and adjust ratio

it will not drop

i think people need still to understand how bitcoin work, there is no going back unless it is died, 200 mean thta mining is not profitable for miners

and no the argument that the diff will simply reduce because some miners leave, means only the died of the network

Every investment involves great risks, and you need to plan responsibly each of your financial decisions because 30 bitcoins is really a good amount. It is true that there is great uncertainty about the future of bitcoin, but this uncertainty is equally applicable to all currencies, commodities and assets, but I would hold at least 10 bitcoins in my wallet.

Why not it's always good to diversify your portfolio. Also, gold will always be valuable. Never hurts to invest in it

With the current gold:silver ratio I think silver is a better choice.

I guess, I would have gone 60/40 on gold.

I would invest more in gold then bitcoin too.
This because i need security with investments, so far Bitcoin is not providing me real security.

I can recommend this.  Gold has been there for centuries. But bitcoin is 'new'
and yes i think they (bitcoin) needs to prove it more to be a solid investment.

Bitcoin has a great potential return that is far bigger than what gold can offer you. If there was a time to buy Bitcoin, then the time would be right now. People will look back after 6 months from now and blame themself for not investing more in Bitcoin. (If they can afford it of course.)

If you seek more security it comes with the price of lowering your chance of profiting big time.

It's because of gold that I came to know Bitcoin and therefore I will never disinvest my gold savings but, of course, knowing the rising value and appeal of BTC I started accumulating some. As many other people said the best thing is to have a mixed portfolio. There's a lot of studying that comes into place when one decides to start investing and I would say that studying and learning about these markets is mandatory to have a better financial future.

I think this is a good bet. Gold is very stable in price and many volume.
Bitcoin has the same advantages since it is a future currency/investment

Yes, both gold and bitcoin are solid investment.
They are strong and have potential. With bitcoin being my favourite offcource, i expect the most reward from bitcoin.

Even gold and bitcoin are same kind of investments, bitcoin has many advantages over gold in short term as well as long term perspective to produce more returns. In past also, bitcoin has evolved multi time than gold in terms of value. So, investing in bitcoin is more wise decisions.

there are a good amount of people that think gold is somewhat safe as an investment. to a certain extend it is true, but with bitcoin you know how much supply there ever will be. with gold not.

I believe I'm right in saying this is an old Samurai quote:

"Expect nothing, be prepared for everything."

That's a good saying but for me it's more then just expectancy. Like everyone I expect a return on my investment.
By splitting the risk becomes less and the reward becomes bigger.

You can go gold, but don't convert what bitcoin you already/still have to do so. Find some other funds to buy gold with. Is $6750 going to be hard raise/put together? I mean, depending on your financials, you may as well keep that half in bitcoin.

Wait for break 1200 before buy gold, it could be a classic bull trap. I'm on markets since 1999, and i think gold goes under 1000$ shortly
Gold right now costs around 1,100 USD which 244% more than bitcoin, i could go with bitcoin before

Well, why not buy DOGE  wich is 99.99999% under gold? I think your idea is not really good  Roll Eyes

Doge is just like other altcoins which is not bad, i used doge in the past it is easy to use and has faster confirmation than bitcoin.
