Bullion by Post UK: Is Gold Still the Best Store of Value vs Bitcoin?

A Quick Look at Prices

As of now:

• Gold (1kg) = €92,005.26
• Bitcoin (1 BTC) = €102,795.79

A single Bitcoin now outprices a full kilogram of gold — despite gold’s 5,000-year head start in monetary history.
But price isn’t everything. Utility, risk, and ownership matter just as much.

What Is a Gold Bullion Bar?

In global trade, a standard “Good Delivery” gold bar weighs 12.4 kilograms (400 troy ounces). These are used by central banks and institutions.

• At today’s prices, one bar = €1.14 million+
• In the UK, investors typically buy smaller bars (1kg, 100g, 1oz) via bullion by post services — delivered securely to your door.

Why Bullion Still Holds Value

Physical gold is:

• Tangible and durable
• Recognised globally
• Independent of internet, apps, and power
• Immune to hacking
• Trusted for wealth preservation during crisis

For UK investors, it’s a time-tested way to store value quietly and securely.
