"Is gold better than Bitcoin?"
Answer is simple! ... Nope!
Gold is too traceable in this day and age. But maybe if you mine it yourself or if you get a good price for it without giving any identification.
In general gold is really better as it has proven already to be valuable than bitcoin, but for us here who only focus in bitcoin we believe bitcoin can give us more profit in the future, hence we see that bitcoin is more valuable or better that gold.
I agree gold is better that investing bitcoins. at any point you can use the gold at any places. you make money right away with the gold. but you also should have a bitcoin investment. because bitcoin as well as the gold has a good value.
