I'm just comparing those for fun.
But you recommend HODL, for the fan or for earning?))
But you have to remember as the blocks get harder to mine, it takes more work/energy to mine. As of today, the cost of mining is about 1000$.
Mining is work for the sake of work, from it there is no practical benefit for humanity!
It has all ready established itself as a store of value. People have decided that.
I agree with this, but we must understand that the technology is not time-tested, and we can not be sure that the blockchain can last for decades (it is constantly growing in size, and this process is accelerating along with the growth of popularity).
You can say the same about gold. What is the profit of gold?
Gold has a practical application in the industry and is used for jewelry. The monetary function is only one of the three main functions. No decent Indian woman will not go to dinner without hanging a kilogram of gold jewelry))
Is gold in a bubble and stage of mania?
No, of course, it is practically stable in price right now.
Jewlery has no practical benefit for humanity..Perhaps for some sort mating ritualistic things. But so will Bitcoin. Once it get's more popular, you'll attract shitloads of girls with your Bitcoin Hodler bumper sticker or t-shirt ;) Just buy the "I got rich on BTC" t-shirt. Much cheaper than jewlery.
And gold is not that much used in industry, not compared to other metals - like Silver.
I recmond hodl because Bitcoin, sustainable, destroyed or abandoned has a very good chance of reaching unpresedented levels.. 100k + I also recomend you gradually sell off your initial investment. But hodl the profit. If everything is great success! we never have to convert our btc to fiat.
