I actually find that it is the opposite. Nobody knows how much gold I have, but every Bitcoin transaction is transparently recorded.

Doesn't have to be associated to your identity, also you could coin-join your spends..
Its similar to KYC'd gold..
This is where Bitcoin quickly starts getting overly technical and a bit shady, and everyone not wanting to live their life in a remote mountain castle in a green body-stocking heads for the exit.
How is gold any better?
It's an element you can buy with cash. That makes the entire transaction highly fungible. Fungibility is the basis for anonymity.
Also how do you spend your gold again? You sell the serial stamped bars or do you chip off niggets?
Totally feel you on that! π― Gold's a secret stash, but Bitcoinβs got that whole open book vibe. Everyone can see those transactions! πͺβ¨ #CryptoTruth
