1. Gold is physical and Bitcoin is virtual currency.
The value of gold can last for several years. Whether in China, India, Europe or the United States, under the condition of underdeveloped transportation and relatively closed communication, people everywhere invariably choose gold as the common currency. It can be seen that gold itself is a kind of hard currency, which is tangible. Bitcoin to be honest, I haven't touched the real thing. Those photos on the internet are just an imaginary map for more people to know and start a business. Bitcoin is not like this: it uses a set of encryption algorithms to record some key information. Because of the value of this information, every bitcoin is valuable. Because of its stable stock, similar to the rare property of gold, it has the function of hedging.
Second, gold can be electronic, but bitcoin cannot be materialized.
With the development of society, physical gold has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, but it does not mean that gold cannot be paperless and electronic. At present, banks provide paper gold services, and futures companies have gold futures. These varieties also have a trading function, and both ups and downs can be operated. Electronic gold has the same function as physical gold in circulation. But bitcoin is just an information storage packaged by encryption algorithm and cannot be materialized. Moreover, if there is a global power outage, it will disappear, which is risky (of course, we can't imagine a global power outage). So gold is actually more stable than bitcoin.
Third, bitcoin can't compare with gold.
But when it comes to value, in fact, the value of bitcoin is that everyone has no choice. You know, gold is recognized as a hard currency in the world, and after so many years of development, countries all over the world have reached a consensus, which also determines the value and role of gold. But bitcoin is different. Although many countries in the world recognize Bitcoin, it has not been recognized by the whole world. Its liquidity, value and authority are only concentrated in the currency circle, and its influence and value are only reflected in the currency circle. So bitcoin and gold are two different things, not to mention the same.
Fourth, the value of the two is different.
In essence, gold is tangible and its position in practical application scenarios is irreplaceable, and the number of legal tender issued by each country has a great relationship with its own gold reserves. The more gold is stored, the more stable the country's economic development will be, and the issuance of money will tend to be stable. When there is surplus or shortage, the value of money will also rise or fall. But no matter how it falls, the value of gold is in a relatively stable state. Although I was impressed by the US dollar, the stock market, supply and demand, and inflation, the ups and downs were relatively stable. Bitcoin is different. No matter the application scenario, circulation field, circulation scope, credibility and value stability, it can't be compared with gold.
Although both gold and bitcoin have high value, there are obvious differences. If I have to choose one, I think gold is more valuable and less risky. Of course, the high risk of Bitcoin means the possibility of high returns.
