>>60517963I think they both have their uses but Bitcoin is a lot better due to its liquidity. It fluctuates so much because you can actually sell it.
Want to buy physical gold? That will be spot plus 20% top. Want to sell gold? Either spent your life building up trust on a reddit trading sub or take another 20% hit on selling. Meanwhile I can buy and sell Bitcoin with practically zero premiums with the click or a mouse.
Gold is difficult enough to sell now without massive transactional costs and people unironically think in a Fallout type scenario it will be even easier to trade their gold for water and food.
Also do you think the people evacuating places like Ukraine and Russia/Iran can just roll through border security with 200k in gold?
Bitcoin is just better all around as an overall investment. Gold is still good though but it's more like "this is money I will never ever need and just pass down to my kids and don't want to actively manage" type of investment.
