⚖️ Key differences
Gold is physical and slow to move; Bitcoin is portable but needs keys and good security. Bitcoin has historically swung far more in both directions. Gold produces no cash flow and neither does Bitcoin — their prices depend on what others will pay.
⚠️ Risks
Bitcoin: deep drawdowns, regulation, losing keys. Gold: long flat stretches, storage costs, and paper gold products that add counterparty risk.
