Investing in gold is risk free, but not as profitable as Bitcoin. Bitcoin is risky, but long-term holdings can be very profitable. I invested in bitcoin, gold investment is not for me. To buy gold one has to face various problems, one has to go to market or gold shop to buy gold. But I can buy Bitcoin from home. Also less money can't be invested in gold, but I can invest less money in Bitcoin. So I prefer to invest in bitcoins rather than gold.[/list]
