Which one to buy??
Breakdown of performance for that period (in USD terms):
Bitcoin/USD: +80%
S&P 500 Stocks: +30%
Real Estate (REITs): +26%
Gold: +3%
Bonds: +1%
(Note: Bitcoin performance
suppressed due to post insane Chinese-run in late-2013)
If I were you I would buy bitcoin since it's price growth is faster than gold and others but if you want to lessen the risk and if you don't trust bitcoin yet, I think it would be good if you would diversify your investments to all of what you mentioned. If you would buy bitcoin, I recommend that you wait a little for a price dump so that you can buy cheaper bitcoins unlike now that bitcoin is table to 1083$ that might go down a little before going up.
I too would recommend to buy bitcoins instead of other assets.I would advice not to wait for any dumps as dumps would be very rare here after and waiting for dumps would lead to buy bitcoins at much higher price.Only bullish trend would continue here after.
