As well as your wallet can be taken from you. Wether it is hardware, paper, on your phone or in your brain (highly doubtful). Your ISP stops you internet connection and where is your bitcoin?
In a doomsday event anything can be taken from you but as long as you have your gold you can use it. For bitcoin you rely on a 3rd party always. Plus 50% of mining is kyc and centralized.
There is no 3rd party if you run a node. Multisig cannot be taken from you if done correctly. Yes, you need internet (somewhere). If all of the internet is shut down, then likely all power is shut down, and then we will have very serious problems (not just with bitcoin).
How easy is it to divide your gold?
How can you connect your node to the other nodes without internet? How can you sign a transaction if you don't have all the signatures?
Few days after the halving the fees were sky high. How will you be able to transact if the fees are permanently like that?
Lightning? What if your electricity is not stable (which it won't be) and you loose all your funds?
How easy it is to devide my gold? Goldbacks
We can find hypothetical situations for anything. Just because gold may be better than bitcoin in your doomsday scenario doesn't mean bitcoin is worthless and should be abandoned. That's just one very extreme possibility. I'm preparing for things other than doomsday.
I have never said that we should abandon bitcoin. I said that gold isn't less than bitcoin. And that it also has a single point of failure. I myslef have both and I will continue to hold to them for as long as possible.
My mistake then. I got the impression you were arguing for gold over bitcoin.
