Re: Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick?

If given a choice to walk away with either Bitcoin or gold of equivalent value, what would you pick?

Asians and Westerners were asked in Taipei in Chinese and English if they would take Bitcoin or gold home with them that day, and the answer might surprise you...

We just shot a video outside the Taipei 101 skyscraper area here and gave people a chance to answer if they would walk away with either Bitcoin or gold- and why.

If you were approached and were offered the same deal, would you walk away with Bitcoin or gold in your pocket, and why???

even if many people picks bitcoins over gold, i like gold more, because bitcoin is way too risky now while gold is quite stable so i know that i will earn from it

bitcoins too risky? thats nonsense, if you are ready to wait enough time for a bitcoin price growth then you can make a lot of money with it way more than with gold

The bitcoin itself is secure. But the exchanges or the service providers are not secure. That is the problem.

this is the economics board so the risks that people are talking about here is the risk with the price and the volatility. not the bitcoin or even exchanges security. and this risk about the volatile price will remain with bitcoin as long as it is a small market compared to other things like gold.
