Yes my friend also said like you, he said if gold is an old investment. It is true, in the modern era, bitcoin is a new and best investment. For long-term or short-term bitcoin investments it is an ideal choice because of the fluctuating bitcoin prices and rising prices will be able to make a profit. But there are still many people asking whether bitcoin is worth investing for more than 5 years because it is so volatile that fear of sudden prices could fall, but I believe bitcoin will continue to grow and fluctuations tend to rise. This is proven when the price drops not long the price recovers and rises again

I'm not sure if Bitcoin is the best investment out there presently

Especially for long term investments since these investments don't need the exponential growth which is not based on real progress or adoption but purely on relentless hype and runaway speculation. Such growth is likely to turn into explosive collapse one day, which renders the whole idea of long term investments futile and fruitless. On the flip side, though, I agree in general that for short term speculations (let's call a spade a spade here), Bitcoin is one of the top-notch ("state of the art", as it were) tools freely available to everyone with a fiver in his pocket

Maybe not the best investment but THE best investment!

well gold has a physical form and doesn't rely on electronic and digital aspect so it would be safe to say that gold is a bit safer than btc in case anything happens. but at the moment, bitcoin is proving to be a well worth it investment in itself with a price that niw exceeds gold. take away all the liabilities of relying on modern technology and btc would beat gold but that's unlikely to happen

The best thing to do then if you are torn between gold and bitcoin is to might as well invest to both. You dont necessary invest in stocks and buy gold, you can just simply buy gold jewelry items that are being auctioned.
