This is a difficult choice, both have their own interests. Currently the price of  Bitcoin  has now returned steady above $ 1000 and probably will rise further. Gold still remained at the price is $ 1,133. Shortly after the US presidential election end, the price of gold has been plummeted while Bitcoin prices higher. Throughout the years, gold has always been considered an asset valuable storage and safest. However, with the current economy, especially the introduction of the Bitcoin, maybe this should be reconsidered. Both gold and Bitcoin are long-term investments, gold was selected because they are a valuable commodity throughout the history of man. Although the price of gold to fall, but it is still a very good investment channel. Dong Bitcoin was selected by the ability to increase its value through technological advances of Bitcoin.
Given the choice I would choose both but only one, I will choose Bitcoin, I believe that Bitcoin will also develop further.

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.

Both are good investment place, although the volatility has provided by bitcoin is much better comparing with gold, but I can't choose the better investment gold or bitcoin. because I use both of them to invest my money.
It's so difficult to choose, or the companies stock is much better than it.

Update to 1 years ahead I won't buy gold and all funds will I switch to investing bitcoin. many people say that the best is the year 2016 for bitcoin, but I'm still convinced that the price of the year 2017 will be better than the year 2016.

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:


is crazy compare investment gold, bitcoin, or altcoin until reach next 15 year
bitcoin and altcoin is not longterm project investment,nut shorterm investment profit must selling, if you want hold coin maximum and good 1 year
if compare hold until reach 15 year, or investment wait until 15 year can't comparation and not good comparation

May be for gold to bitccoin it is still possible thing to do, but for altcoin I dont really think that it has a chance to be compared to both of them. If I were asked to choose I will rather do both of them. Since gold price will kepp on increasing and in bitcoin we can earn through many ways. So I will do both, let say if bitcoin price is down, it does not matter for me too because it is just like free money. Gold is more valuable because you really need to stacking up for it and you cant get it just by using some faucet or even campaign

When compared to bitcoin, gold is very good investment because gold is always stable and is being used and support by all the governments. But where as bitcoin is completely volatile currency and is not a stable. Gold is better investment when compared to bitcoin.

I would buy gold because of its stable price.I would like to invest in bitcoin but i am afraid of being banned in the future in some countries.Maybe Investment = 80%*Gold + 20*Bitcoin

I personally believe that the price of bitcoin in the future will be 1500$
I agree, gold has a more stable price than bitcoin, with bitcoin you could find yourself a millionaire at any time in near future so you have to keep an easy on it every moment and then to ensure that you don’t lose, but gold on the other hand has a relatively stable price which makes it a good long term investment, but definitely no quick returns will be possible.

I will invest in bitcoin as long as it is available, plus the OP didn't mention storing
it for 15 years which is stupid if he did. Cheesy

That means I can use bitcoin the way I want it, may it be on business or just investing on
other things using bitcoin, investing and gaining profit quickly at same time bitcoin is the
best candidate out of the four choices you gave. Cheesy

Gold is a great investment for storing and not worrying too much about the price.

Company stock is a great way too, although I have too little knowledge about it. Cheesy

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!

I would still choose Bitcoin, it maybe the gold is the old trend but we are in the generation of the new technology in our time now. Gold nowadays is not practical at all, also not people are able to have it. Unlike bitcoin is very open to anyone whether the person is poor or wealth type just you understand what bitcoin is, then you can have it in your way. Gold is touchable while Bitcoin is untouchable but they are both had their value to the community in the whole world now.

If you look at the history of bitcoin, you know that bitcoin at the end of 2013 - perhaps in early 2014 - has been equivalent to gold. But in addition, bitcoin also has the property of gold: divisibility, like gold, like a scarcity. Bitcoin is also easy to transfer. If I want to give you a piece of gold, then it will be very difficult. But if I want to send you the same value of the level of storage bitcoin, I can quickly complete. So I think this is the value of the new era of storage.
With the increasing demand for bitcoin, the value of this digital currency will exceed gold

Just compare the rate of increase in the Bitcoin and Gold for the last two years. Gold is almost stable and not much big movements. Good for keeping it forever.  Grin
While Bitcoin give u quick profit after every 2 ,3 months. Buy bitcoins, wait for the pump in 2 ,3 months, Sell at high and then again buy at low.  Lots of profits for real time traders in bitcoins and Gold Good for passive traders who are not much active.

That makes sense, also while one is a raw material which can be used in various manufacturing processes, the other is a representation of a value that can be to some extent very secure and very easy to transfer, However it should not be forgotten that there are some other metals for example that although they are not so popular have high commercial value, besides I guess the question in the title is related to which is better as a form of investment, and I suppose the answer favors the second if you compare the growth it  had lately, but it does not mean that one disarticulates the other since their uses have been and will continue to be very different, in addition the conditions of one and the other considering the time that has elapsed are very different.

I believe in investment you mean profit of course. If we look statistics, we can see that aim of bitcoin is to rise it's price but it's happening in different way, once it's low, than suddenly rises, than smally low and continues etc but now we see stable higher prise.
Gold isn't for profitable investment, it's like converting paper money into gold, only very small profit even with millions.

I have both bitcoin and stock right now, plus some mutual funds on the side. Comparing the performance of the three investments over the past month, I would say that bitcoin has given me the most return. I have a mixed bags of stocks where some are in the green while others are in the red, while my mutual fund has underperformed for some time now. As much as I want to increase my bitcoin holding, I am still a bit careful knowing that it is the most volatile of the three.

we have to admit that bitcoin is the new era of money. The more you invest money in it, the more profit you can have. In about 10 years later, you will see that bitcoin prices will increase significantly because the number of Bitcoin users rise and there are not enough Bitcoin to supply to all of them. Gold is good but it is too stable. The gold prices can not increase double after a year. This process have to take at least five decades for gold to double its own prices. Therefore, Bitcoin is better

that's right with bitcoin there's still a lots of things that can happen with its value unlike gold even we can consider it as a stable in terms of price which can only make some downfall but the rise won't be like bitcoin that possible to keep making some double year after year i prefer to consider bitcoin even in the long run and with this fluctuations also better to make some shorting as buy and sell.

You have posted this poll in a bitcoin forum which most of the answers will that bitcoin worth more to invest rather than gold, I have voted for bitcoin because I think it has a more potential to get more profit because the price within few years changes very much comparing to gold which I think is more stable.
