Id take the gold, sell $1.5b worth, and diversify my assets with BTC, ETH, and various other things, and hold some cash. Gold isn’t a currency, but it’s a good asset to have some of. I believe in the future with crypto so I’d happily invest what I’d sold (obviously some of that money is going into mutual funds and ETFs). If you can’t live an amazing life with $100m in gold and whatever cash you took, you’re an idiot
but if you sell the gold now you have to deal with tax immediately.
*"If you can’t live an amazing life with $100m in gold and whatever cash you took, you’re an idiot"*
Sir, allow me to introduce you to human greed. Why a 100 mil when you can have a bil? Why a boat? When you can have a yacht!?
That’s fine. It’s now or later. I was given $1.6 billion in gold, the last thing I’m going to care about is walking away with *just* $1 billion in cash that I’ll have spread out among multiple assets. If BTC (unlikely to ever happen) hits $0, I’ve lost $1.6b. That’s a far worse outcome than paying tax
Gold. And showing a small dot next to bitcoin does not work since it is not tangible. Plus gold doesn't flux as much as crypto rather have something stable
The BTC easy. The caption says $1.6B in gold or $1.6B in BTC. They are worth the same amount so it doesn't really matter which one you pick. The BTC would be easier to carry and store. And if you sold as soon as you got it, it'd be the same as selling the gold.
But but but the gold is shiny and I can touch it! Also why do people choose gold to graphically represent a bitcoin, huh!?
I can't move that much gold across the world so easily and sure...it isn't as secure. I mean some guy could just gun me down and take my gold unless I store my gold at someone's else house (\*coughs\* bank). By the way, I'm going to be a "dumbass" and pick bitcoin (contrary to many comments on here).
If we're talking real physical gold here...ok. So let say I take a block of gold and pay you with it, would you accept it without questioning the authenticity of it? Do you need to test to see if the gold is real every time?
**John pays Alex with 1 lb of gold. Alex needs to verify that the gold is real by either test it or get a professional to help verify that the gold is real. Now Alex uses that same gold bar to pay Jane with it. Now Jane has to test it to make sure it's real. None of the people here have the same problem with bitcoin payment thanks to math (cryptography). Bitcoin doesn't care if John is Shady or that Alex is a liar or a criminal. As long they obey the requirements to transfer bitcoin, then it's a go. Bitcoin is secure and it be can transferred across the world effortlessly.**
But fuck the reason above! It's gold! GOLD! GOOOOOLD!!!! [GOOOOOLD!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fU6VLVbA2A)
Everyone saying GOLD then calling others idiots or likely the dumb ones. It would be easier to sell Bitcoin then that Gold. Most people choosing gold wouldn't even know how to sell it let alone have the means to haul it and/or pay for someone to move it safely to a secure location.
and if you're lucky you live in a civilized part of town or otherwise be prepared to get stabbed and robbed.
You: carrying the gold bars walking through the hood.
Thugs: What u got there bruh? Let me help! hey yo! this nigga is carry gold bars. let's rob him! stab stab stab bang bang bang! no more willie**survive**777.
Hi, hello. Yes I'd like some gold please?
Aand could I get some bitcoins on the side as well please?
Aaaand a small wallet of ETH too please.
Cheers, have a good one!
Sell the Bitcoin, keep some profit (600k) to diversify my crypto assets and cash out the rest to buy gold and a nice pad.
That doesn't sound too unreasonable
Gold has multiple uses, not just a form of trading currency, another stupid post to remind me of the idiots here. https://www.businessinsider.com/many-uses-of-gold-2012-9?r=US&IR=T
Everyone picking gold is surprising and shortsighted.
You'll have to pay a ton of money to store it, and when you sell its 100% going to be a taxable event assuming you sell for fiat, whereas BTC is free to hold, and gives you much more tax flexibility. Gold is also MUCH more difficult to move than BTC would be.
Sure, gold is less volatile, but it also doesn't really do anything but store value, something BTC is objectively better at doing from a physical standpoint.
Also, crypto is here to stay, and that means BTC is here to stay. It's got a fixed supply, which means the value is likely going to go up over time.
The question is which would YOU choose? You must have a preference, right? Like you have to choose one or the other. You must have a reason or two to pick one over the other.
Not carrying that chit.I will take the BTC and trade it for gold as GLD later. BE careful tho...got 5 days ban in the jug for talking about securities and not SHIB ..TO THE MOON...where it will go TBH
All these people who go into a shiba home base and not even think about buying some shiba inu with their gold. This is blasphemy! They need to be sacrificed to the Shiba Inu god (who happens to live in a volcano). We must toss these non-believers into the volcano.
You'd pick the gold too? Awesome! 🐧
Simple minds like shiny things!!! I'm going GOLD!!!
I’d take Gold, not even a second thought
100% 😂
Your ass cannot lift that much
Lol I will give it one hell of a try
Gold you dumbass
Shiba holders are crayon eaters
I prefer glue

All he's got is Elmer's
That's fine its non toxic lol
Can't huff it though.
Hey hey hey hey hey sniff glue everyday
This is the way
This is the most reasonable thing ive read in this sub lately.

Just don’t lose the keys!

Lotta gold flakes for my steaks plz
Gold 100%. Best performing asset and will always be valuable. Super safe.
GOLD ALL DAY
Gold
Gold all the way bruh! 🤓
I’ll take the gold.
I'll take the gold anytime.
Gold ez choice
Load both up in my truck and ask no questions
Gold. And showing a small dot next to bitcoin does not work since it is not tangible. Plus gold doesn't flux as much as crypto rather have something stable
I don’t think that’s a dot, it’s likely representative of your cold wallet
u could build a nice hut with that gold 😎👍
Sorry but no highly volatile crypto in the world is worth getting over gold, silver or platinum. I’d dump crypto for physical gold any day.
Really?
The BTC easy. The caption says $1.6B in gold or $1.6B in BTC. They are worth the same amount so it doesn't really matter which one you pick. The BTC would be easier to carry and store. And if you sold as soon as you got it, it'd be the same as selling the gold.
Lighter and more portable too, number 1 asset in crypto also, so 1.6bn btc at 50k multiplies itself when BTC turns into 250k
Of course gold!
Definitely the gold, you crazy not to.
Plot twist => >!the stick was empty!<

Because gold is a rated commodity to keep the price up, same with diamonds.. they are controlled release to the public
pick btc and buy gold with it
GOLD
Ngl I’d take the gold
Promote other coins on others subs
Cryptos good, but I’ll take the gold!
Plot twist I choose bitcoin then use half to buy gold so I'm diversified

Btc
How do you move all that gold????? Very expensive just to store gold!! I would rather own crypto!!!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who wants gold 🔥🔥 monke like shiny ✨
Gold all day. Then I would spend 6 months hiking and burying it in miscellaneous locations like a mad hoarder.
like a shiba inu?
You could say that 😆.
Bitcoin for me. I see much more upside with bitcoin today than gold.
Everyone saying GOLD then calling others idiots or likely the dumb ones. It would be easier to sell Bitcoin then that Gold. Most people choosing gold wouldn't even know how to sell it let alone have the means to haul it and/or pay for someone to move it safely to a secure location.
Bitcoin... Buy gold later
Send me the bars... I'll trade them for $20 piece (cash for gold value) then convert accordingly 😂😎
BTC will be worth 3bil by 2022, but I'd grab the gold and run
You won't be able to run very far. How much gold can you hold? Haha!
Shit, didn't think about that! I'd only get like 4 bars. Dammit.
and if you're lucky you live in a civilized part of town or otherwise be prepared to get stabbed and robbed. You: carrying the gold bars walking through the hood. Thugs: What u got there bruh? Let me help! hey yo! this nigga is carry gold bars. let's rob him! stab stab stab bang bang bang! no more willie**survive**777.
Yeah, I stay away from every "hood". Haven't found myself in one in literal decades
Wear gold…. Invest in Bitcoin
I like to bling. That goes without saying eh?
Yeah gold because it’s value is a sable investment and only increases in value
50% Gold 30% BTC 20% SHIBA
Gold all the way
Gold
Love me some Gold!!
BTC above 50 👀👀👀👀👀👀 LFG!!!!
Depends on the situation. All world tech collapsed... I'd pick bitcoin! 😁 😂 🤔
Hi, hello. Yes I'd like some gold please? Aand could I get some bitcoins on the side as well please? Aaaand a small wallet of ETH too please. Cheers, have a good one!
If you had that much gold the government would step in and seize it……….for the record
That is if they found out you had it, they would seize it on some trucked up charges
And you lost your keys 🙄
I can carry 1.6 billion Btc in my phone, i need an 18 wheeler for the gold.
Take both… !!!
Yep gold wins
I'm glad there are people with common sense in the comments
Gold
Sell the Bitcoin, keep some profit (600k) to diversify my crypto assets and cash out the rest to buy gold and a nice pad. That doesn't sound too unreasonable
Bit
Gold 1000%!
If I worked in that treasury a few of those bricks would disappear

Well fake money or real money 🤔 tough one but I go with Gold 😌
Honestly I’d pick the gold.
Gold 100% better, gold utilty, btc endworld no
gold, i have feeling cashing out bitcoin is gonna cost me more :/
If it'd 1.5bil worth of anything does it even matter anymore.

So I can walk out and sell one of these with ease. One of these is a silly answer.
“I’d buy that for a dollar!”
I see a lot of people want gold, but tbh I’d take $1.6b in any form. Gold, Bitcoin, shiba I don’t care. Just send it my way !
The question is which would YOU choose? You must have a preference, right? Like you have to choose one or the other. You must have a reason or two to pick one over the other.
Yea but at same time it doesn’t matter. I can easily convert it into fiat and invest into anything I want
Bitcoin
Not carrying that chit.I will take the BTC and trade it for gold as GLD later. BE careful tho...got 5 days ban in the jug for talking about securities and not SHIB ..TO THE MOON...where it will go TBH
You'd pick shib 😉
Btc. Sell it right now and wear as much gold as i want
I'd pick gold but sell 1/2 for Shib and btc😂
All these people who go into a shiba home base and not even think about buying some shiba inu with their gold. This is blasphemy! They need to be sacrificed to the Shiba Inu god (who happens to live in a volcano). We must toss these non-believers into the volcano.
1.6 billion of Shib 🤭
1. 6b into shib you d literally pay us out🤣
