Bitcoin vs. gold: How do they stack up for investors?
Cointelegraph asked analysts and professionals to compare Bitcoin and gold in terms of access, custody and investment hurdles as crypto retail adoption grows and gold hits new price highs.
As gold prices break new highs, many Bitcoiners are seeking ways to get exposure to the precious metal, but have been met with some hurdles along the way.
Although physical gold is accessible in the form of jewelry, gold bars and coins, many industry executives are concerned about aspects like its quality, liquidity when selling, and buying at a premium above spot prices.
On the other hand, gold advocates are confident that the precious metal is much easier to buy than Bitcoin (BTC), given the complexities of storing private keys and a steep learning curve for new crypto investors.
