Both bitcoin and gold is a good investment, but gold is more stable and more suitable for a long term, while bitcoin is more suitable for short term, and real reason to hold bitcoin is to beat inflation, as we know if we invest our money in fiat then every year our investment value is going down but bitcoin wont be influence by inflation
There is absence of inflation when it comes to investing money in bitcoins and even the price of bitcoin keeps on appreciating over a period of time and that makes it really attractive investment and you can also get benefits from it in short term which is totally missing in gold.
Agreed, gold give its users the assured value even after years, with bitcoin we can make speculative prediction but none gives an assurance on the price after years same as gold. In terms of profiting bitcoin helps in making profit in a short time which is not at all possible with gold. Gold have got its place, but continued support from people is required for the success journey of bitcoin.
