NEW YORK, October 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Gold price has gained about 12 percent this year due to global geopolitical uncertainties. The yellow metal is considered as a safe-haven asset during times of political and economic turmoil. According to a recent article from Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., wrote in a report saying that Gold is better than Bitcoin due to some key characteristic of money. "Precious metals remain a relevant asset class in modern portfolios, despite their lack of yield," analysts including Jeffrey Currie and Michael Hinds wrote.

Goldman Sachs said fear and wealth are the main drivers of gold price. The investment bank also indicated that gold is better than cryptocurrencies in several characteristics, including durability, Intrinsic value and Unit of account. Compared with cryptocurrencies, gold is not vulnerable to hacking through the Internet. The yellow metal will also have higher intrinsic value due to its limited supply and have much lower daily volatility due to its purchasing power. However, gold is more expensive to transfer due to its weight and need for a high level of security.
