Which Profit is it, Real Gold or 'Digital Gold' Bitcoin cs?

 

 Gold is one of the options for investing in the midst of economic uncertainty because gold is usually a hedging investment. In addition to gold, there is currently a new investment trend, namely 'digital gold' or commonly called crypto assets: bitcoin and others.

Then for millennials, what kind of investment is the most suitable, should you buy real gold, namely Antam gold or is it better to try buying crypto?

Senior Analyst & Consultant of Infovesta Kapital Advisori, Praska Putrantyo, said that the trend of real gold and 'digital gold' has been in line lately.

Based on the graph for the last 5 years, he said the performance of these two commodities was quite significant.

"Bitcoin in percentage accumulation has increased 8 times in the last three years," he said in CNBC Indonesia's InvesTime, Thursday night (11/11/2021).

Meanwhile, gold has also experienced an upward trend, according to him, in the last 3 years, from September 2018 to October 2021, the increase was almost 50%.

According to him, the attractiveness of gold will depend on the existing economic conditions, considering that gold is usually used as a hedge.

"[As for] Bitcoin, it is quite interesting because in addition to the familiarity of crypto and other small ones [ethereum, cardano, etc.], there are quite a few familiars, so there is great interest in trying the crypto world," he explained.

He further said that gold was dominated by macroeconomic conditions. Gold is widely chosen to anticipate economic uncertainties such as what happened in 2019.

"So indeed the drivers are a bit different, crypto is directed to short-medium speculative," he continued.

In terms of security, according to him, fundamentally, gold is relatively safer. While bitcoin has high volatility. According to him, currently several countries are already using bitcoin, although some countries also prohibit it.

"In the use of the ecosystem is possible so I go back to the beginning. Gold is more stable."

He advises bitcoin investors to avoid euphoria, but invest with consideration for the market and short and long term projections according to the investment horizon.

"Be careful not to expect bitcoin in the long term to be like it used to be, but for the long term it's not necessarily the case," he said.
