I have USD 2000 to invest. Should I buy Bitcoins or gold?

what you prefer can hold upto 1 year

gold for sure if you don't wanna lose all the money
a year is far too much for a bitcoin to be trusted

Gold has been going on for thousands of years but btc can prove to much higher or larger price swings and is more exciting. Gold yes is probably safer but the profits are very small and you won't see it going up 10% in one day like btc. Year is where I think the price will be at least double, but thats my opinion

You can always try buying gold on margin if you are not quite happy with it making pathetic 1-2% daily swings. Most likely you will see how your account gradually but quickly gets wiped out in just a few days, but there is still a chance (to get rich fast)...

Also the fees paid while buying and selling, and also physical gold is very hard to trade frequently. Its better for a long term decade like investment, but I think btc will outperform it in 10 years.

No one suggest you should go to a bullion bank to buy some gold bars or coins there. People that have enough money to trade frequently and who want physical gold usually trade in physically-settled gold futures. These assume delivery of a pre-specified quantity and quality of gold on a predetermined date at a predetermined location. For example, Comex delivers 100 oz. standardized bars of 995 fineness to New York vaults...

Trading physically-settled gold futures is no different to trading cash-settled ones ("paper gold"), you just need substantially more money to buy such futures
