I have USD 2000 to invest. Should I buy Bitcoins or gold?
what you prefer can hold upto 1 year
Why don't you post the same question in a gold investors forum and see what they say.

They'll of course tell him to buy gold. The difference is gold is boring and deprecated, while Bitcoin is new and exciting and it hasn't even begun. The gains to be made aren't comprehended until we see what happens in 5+ years. Meanwhile the gold market is not subjected to much change.
