When you buy gold, you must keep in mind your investment isn't going to return much profit, as it's just going to keep its value through the stability of gold.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin investors are facing major and unusual profits by investing on this cryptocurrency, much superior to what they could make through traditional investments.
This is true but not enough, investing in gold brings less profit but is certainly much safer. Meanwhile, investing in bitcoin will bring better profits, even many times larger, but we will have to face greater risks. We need to be realistic that the higher the return, the higher the risk and vice versa, no exceptions.
Overall, both are good assets and have the potential to be worth investing in and holding. Depending on each person's preferences and investment capabilities, there will be suitable options.
Gold is gold and Bitcoin is Bitcoin, I will not speak less of gold because I find bitcoin more attractive. Both gold and bitcoin carry their own level risks, although one is less risky than the other. Some investors will always choose gold over bitcoin anytime of the day, this is because gold is relatively more stable than bitcoin which is volatile and more suitable for long term investments only. The debate about which is better between bitcoin and gold is long overdue and getting boring. Investors should simply invest in what they understand and are more comfortable with in terms of the risks involved.
