obviously gold would be the safe bet and bitcoin the risky. With gold having had thousands of years of maintained value and bitcoin being a few years old and extremely volatile.
yes, I agree with you, I would prefer gold. because gold has a stable price and can be invested in the next few decades. not the same as bitcoin which is only valid within the next 5 years and even then the price is unstable and difficult to predict. although both have almost equal tax breaks but I would still prefer gold
