Gold sucks as money.

Gold requires custodians and can't be sent over the internet.

Custodians issue paper and/or digital currencies in exchange for gold.

Paper money leads to fractional reserve banking (banks can issue more paper than the gold they have).

Fractional reserve banking leads to greed.

Greed leads to corruption.

Corruption leads to control and theft.

Control and theft lead to a deteriorating society.

#Bitcoin    fixes this.

With #BTC    you don't need custodians.

You can hold your own keys and set up your own security.

You can choose use a custodian if you want to, but you don't need to.

This choice is what changes EVERYTHING.

No mandatory custodians means A LOT less control and theft.
