Gold is nice since you can buy it and then have a nice thing to look at. Bitcoin however is way more advanced and can be easily send around the world. Since bitcoin can never really loose its value -like gold-, Im on the side of bitcoin. Even if you have to admit that longterm gold will always be a good investment either.
Well, you can of course look at a nice shiny object made of gold, but you can also watch a visualisation of the blockchain, the transactions, Bitcoin balances, and .any other aspects of Bitcoin.
I actually prefer looking at Bitcoin than any other physical object.
There is some kind of nice feeling knowing that something so valuable can be invisible to the naked eye. It's the same with air for example.
Why would need to choose if you could able to buy both if your budget or fund allocation permits you? Some are just too focused on bitcoin or on crypto without even thinking about traditional investments which
neither be in gold, stocks,indices,forex etc. which it could really give out that kind of security on some aspect specially on gold but its on personal choice though since we do have different inputs or insights
on different things in terms of investment.
If you do love shiny things and a bit security then you would really be choosing up gold but if not then you would opt for bitcoin but if you do have the money
then why not go for both?
Well, one reason to not invest in gold is that I find it very difficult to protect and carry.
Also it's a bit difficult to invest different amounts of money, unless you're simply buying gold stores somewhere else, which kinda defeats the purpose.
Also, I'm always a bit paranoid that the gold being sold is basically fake.
Most of the shops that buy and sell gold look very shady. I know that some countries have proper gold buying/selling locations, but what if I have to move to another country?
Also, moving gold around seems stressful.
With bitcoin all those issues don't exist
