I will choose both bitcoin and gold investing both will definitely profitable.  Bitcoin is fluctuating its price it dump and pump but for sure will gives an earning. Though in gold as the most known for anyone will gives also profit in the long run.

And I do not invest in gold. Its hard to buy. It is easier for me to buy some part of bitcoin. I can do it in just a few minutes using my smartphone. I like it. And how to buy gold I do not know.

I think in any country gold is available for sale and more popular than bitcoin. Or I'm wrong?
You're right that gold is more popular than bitcoin but it doesn't mean that gold is the best because bitcoin can be the best also. Bitcoin has its own uniqueness in terms of features like being anonymous and secured. So i think bitcoin will get close to gold in terms of popularity soon, we just need more progress for that

I think the bitcoin is not as anonymous as the Monero, ZCash or Dash

Coins that specifically aim at being anonymous are expected to be more anonymous than Bitcoin

Bitcoin being (pseudo) anonymous was basically a beneficial side effect of its decentralized nature. In other words, Satoshi didn't particularly care to make it truly anonymous in the sense like these coins define it (Round-Robin signatures and things like that). On the other hand, I don't think that many people actually need anonymity of the level that Bitcoin already offers "out of the box", so to speak. And I strongly suspect that most of them would quickly exchange that anonymity for a few percentages of interest if regular banks started to offer Bitcoin deposits (demanding full disclosure of one's identity, obviously)
