Real estate investor Grant Cardone launched a poll on social media asking which is more profitable — Bitcoin or gold.
He asked his followers to imagine that they received $100,000 with one condition: the entire amount must be invested in Bitcoin, gold or silver and stored until December 19, 2028.
The results were as follows:
- 69% preferred Bitcoin;
- gold — 17,7%;
- silver — 13,3%.
It turns out that retail investors are choosing Bitcoin almost four times more often than gold and silver, despite their outstanding performance this year.
One user noted that the X social network’s audience is predominantly cryptocurrency supporters, but if the survey had been conducted outside the platform, the numbers would have been different.
Determined to confirm this point, Bitcoin opponent and gold supporter Peter Schiff conducted a similar survey, but the balance of power changed little.
60,7% of voters chose Bitcoin, 21,9% for gold, and 17,4% for silver. Cardona found these results quite objective.
He also added that he is not Bitcoin- a maximalist, as he is focused on real estate and manages assets worth $5,3 billion in this market.
Cardone emphasized that Bitcoin is included in his portfolio to create a new asset class, while gold and silver behave similarly to real estate but are much more widespread.
I don’t see the point in including it Bitcoin in your proposals, if investors could buy it themselves if they wanted to,” Peter Schiff noted.
At the same time, he added that Bitcoin has underperformed gold over the past four years, and its growth peak has already passed. However, investors view the situation differently.
