Maybe if I was allowed to choose both I would choose both, because gold and bitcoin can get a good profit. But because you say for next 15 years, I prefer gold. For a time during it, investment in gold I think is better because gold has been around a long time and price tends to rise each year. Besides the performance of gold is more stable than bitcoin, so gold is the best choice for a period as long as it (15 years).

As per diversifying rule,l I am also preferring to hold my investments in both gold and bitcoin, still I want to go more with bitcoin rather than just getting struck with an investment option like gold. Gold is probably the very old investment type, still its returns are not sufficient as per the demand now we are having for leading a life.

I guess to have better financial freedom in upcoming days, we must choose only bitcoin with long term plans.

Assuming long term investment, I'd go for stocks.

If you have enough money and are sure you won't need it in a hurry then I've heard that buying and renting houses is profitable, but you'll make bigger profits if you get involved in looking at properties before you buy, fixing them up before you rent them, and doing some of the maintenance yourself, as well as collecting the rent. If you just hire a company to do all this for you, they will eat up most of your profits.

Most people don't need gold. If you've got lots of money, and don't want inflation or crisis to erase all your assets, then you might want to buy some gold.

And I would invest in bitcoin for short term like for two years maximum.

Gold vs. Bitcoin as an Investment - What’s Better?

If you had to invest strictly either in bitcoin or gold for next 15 years, what would it be?

Bitcoin:

It has been around for more than 6 Years. Faced all scam news, accusation and what not still always managed to make a comeback. It has a growing market cap of over 16.5 billion USD today. Demand is increasing an the supply of bitcoin will soon cease to grow. It cannot be duplicated unless someone invents a quantum computer to do so and BTW bitcoin is patch-able so it can improvise.

Gold:

It has been around for more than centuries. Trusted from era of human culture. Its estimated that the market cap of gold is 7.3 trillion USD (This more than 400 times the market cap of bitcoin today) so it far from oblivion. Gold is indeed limited and cannot be duplicated unless we invent a sustainable hadron collider in next 15 years.

What would it be?

Considering this survey is being conducted on a bitcoin forum, the results might hold prejudice.
Vote your choice above and justify it below!

When it comes to choosing between Gold and bitcoin, I had no doubt that Gold was really ancient a thousand of that has been used by our ancestors actually, it maybe increase weekly but its only s mall percentage value of gold unlike in bitcoin because of it volatility the chances of getting profit was very more advantage than a gold, the growth earnings in bitcoin was too fast unlike in gold was too slow though it will surely get high.

If i were to choose between bitcoin and gold, I will choose bitcoin for now over gold since it's price is more volatile than gold. I will gain more profit on bitcoin because it got more of the price changes. Just to be on the safe side though, I would also like to invest in gold so that even if the other ends as failure, I have another to turn into since it is not wise to put all your eggs in one basket.

I obviously would want to have both bitcoin and gold but for now I'm mostly focusing on bitcoin. Provided you know how to keep it safe it would be hard for people to take it from you. Since you can keep large amounts of money digitally you also are somewhat your own bank. The large price jumps is the primary lure of bitcoin though. Bitcoin bought when it was first introduced would have doubled its value in comparison to fiat by now.

Of course there are issues like a possible total collapses, hacking and government crack down and it'd probably be safer to also have investments outside cryptos.

Would completely rather have gold, I know people on here are going to be a bit biased based on the simple fact that we're on a site about the niche community that bitcoin has but I'd rather be able to fully hold what I own and know that I can secure it and all. The part that it's been used as currency for most of Civilization is an obious plus sign based on the fact that if FIAT currencies die out Gold will probably be the next to take over.

It's Bitcoin any day because comparatively Bitcoin has soared higher in exponential figure since 2016 unlike gold which went up a few times and the fact that Bitcoin halves and creates demand from time to time I will rather feel safe in investing in Bitcoin than gold.

You can't just compare something that's been out for 8 years and something that's been trades for PRETTY MUCH ALL OF CIVILIZATIONS TIME it just doesn't make sense. You're comparing apples to oranges, compare apples to apples buddy.

I'm confused - is the question Gold vs. Bitcoin or is Gold vs. Bitcoin vs. Stock ?

If it's the former, I choose Bitcoin. If it's the latter I choose Stock.

Bitcoin may have a bigger growth potential but it's got a ton of risk associated with it. Stocks are more stable, regular, annual growth. Less risk. You gotta have both.

And in my experience we all experience 2 or 3 change-the-world type of movements in business or industry. Bitcoin is one of those movements. And with those movements come opportunity to get involved, get a piece. So for that reason I'll be in on this thing until it fails. And I hope we're all wildly successful.

We are in bitcoin and well say that bitcoin will always be the best investment. But for me, it's good if you are able to have both investments. Because if you are an optimistic investor you'll find both as good investment and that will give you profit .

yes both of them are really good but in terms of high possibilities its much better to have bitcoin for now as the value keeps on arising and its not really on peak yet unlike gold that's already been determine the value and the fluctuation is not really big, bitcoin can be double or more in the coming future ahead if adoptions will be more successful.

Right now according to the price of both gold and bitcoin. Bitcoin has more value when compared to gold, but gold is running from decades and is consistently running from many years. But right now i am concentrating on both of the investments because gold is always stable with prices so it is going to be my long term investment but where as bitcoin is in volatile condition, So it will give some profits on daily trading.

Bitcoin- in bullish time

In terms of short term profit, I'll pick Bitcoin because we can see on the price chart or the history chart that the price of bitcoin already rises up and it seems that it is being stable for this moment but we can expect both price increase or decrease because it is always depend on the scenarios that are going on or the news that will be release that is related on Bitcoin.

In terms of long term profit (Like 20 years above), I'll pick Gold because it is stable and we already know that the price is expensive and after a few years it will increase as the supply is already experiencing a shortage which makes the price high, So how come after 20 years? Just think about that ; Wink

We have already discussed this topic before and I think bitcoin is always better than gold when it comes to the investment because of the proven track record (not everyone purchase gold for the sake of investment and not everyone purchase bitcoin just because it is amazing technology to use) so while considering overall picture, I would prefer bitcoin for the purpose of investment.

Since there is only one to vote then I voted only for bitcoin since the investment has more opportunity to gain profit.

I would vote also for Altcoins because there is a huge opportunity to gain profit if we are lucky but at the same time it is much riskier than bitcoin.

For me I wanted to choose both they are good in profit and depending on how you are going to put effort in it.

But it seems that these 2 investments doesn't need to have that type of effort that you need to do because even you just hold for a longer time.

These two can be a good investment.

agree. but they just differ on one thing, Gold has a physical value and never be vanish or destroy while bitcoin is just a crypto currency that anytime, there is a possibility to collapse and loss.
They both have same behavior in terms of it's price, But i choose bitcoin even if it is a risky investment, because there is a lot of potential profit out of it rather than gold
