Hands down bitcoin. 1 BTC will be worth more than 1 ounce of gold soon Roll Eyes

Yeah but gold is safe so it depends all on how much money we are talking about. If it's about millions then obviously i'll put it in gold but if it's not that much money i'll put it into bitcoin to try and make it more via that route.

At the moment I would pick bitcoins.
Simply because gold is for me a long term investment, and at the moment I'm not searching something like that.
I can sell my bitcoins easily with my computer on every exchange, I don't think it's that simple with gold.

I agree. Apart from the fact that gold is not going to rise in price in the future like Bitcoin(of course I'm not taking into account the case of a big inflation), Bitcoin is much easier to sell than gold. I don't know about every country, but where I live from my personal experience you can only sell gold for the price 20% lower than the actual price at the moment.

Bitcoin is not just much easier to sell than gold. One could infer that physical gold is also easy to sell which is not the case. I would go so far as to say that Bitcoin is easy to sell while gold is hard to sell. Indeed, gold is indestructible, but if you want to get back at least the amount you had paid for it, your gold should look exactly the same when you bought it. Hurricanes, earthquakes, fires can easily turn your precious gold coins and bars into crushed pieces of metal, which you would be able to sell only at the price of scrap.
