I know both bitcoin and gold pumped and dumped hard in the past. That is why i took a long time frame as an example. That is why i said, i hold cash for 2-4 years and gold/btc for 5+ years. In the long run, cash is a loser. Both Bitcoin and gold will be winners against USD in the long run. You know why? Because you cant make them.
did you sure with that in 5+ years both investment will give you a profit because only if the price increase but if the price down you will loses your money it's different with you hold a money in bank.
Tbh, I am not sure of bitcoin. I am with deisik in this matter as i really don't know if bitcoin gonna make another 5 years. That's why i wouldn't put everything i got into bitcoin. Risky move. %5 would be safe. %10+ would be an adventure.
But gold will be there. It will make you profit, I know it because on a time frame longer than 5 years, who can guarantee that everything will go as we expect them to go? There will always be financial crisises (in like every 7 years) and people will always buy gold to get protected.
Gold can't lose value.
End of the story.
p.s: i hold %95 usd, %1btc, %4 gold atm. (I aim to get %3 btc, and %10 gold) Planning to buy a house. No need volatility, as i need more stability. :)But those gold and bitcoins there i got will never gonna get converted into USD in the next 5+ years. If gold or bitcoin makes a massive drop, i will buy more. Because that's when you make profits. You gotta buy them cheap if you wanna make profit
After i got my house, will replace the numbers and gold will be the majority.
