I'm so tired of people old enough to be my child all like damn Boomers buy gold instead of Bitcoin.

Yo, gold is a shiny yellow rock. You can go to a store in the mall and buy it for cash bills. You can then put it wherever you want and it doesn't just disappear from there because you got the wrong software update, or clicked the wrong hyperlink, or whatever, as rocks aren't digital. They are rocks. And if you want to sell it, then you take it to a store in the mall and they give you cash bills back.

_Of course they buy gold instead of Bitcoin_, as Bitcoin is a gigantic, electronic PITA and people are constantly misplacing their Bitcoin keys along with their reading glasses and the document they were supposed to bring back to the car repair shop.

Keeping gold in self custody can be pretty nerve wracking as well, it's a giant target to your person, and can be misplaced too.

Bitcoin is easier to hide. If there's bitcoin and gold in my house, I can easily hide bitcoin, I'd be worried about the gold though.

I think it's nuts to hold significant amounts of gold in your house, to be honest.

Bank locker? If you're fine with that, it would work for your bitcoin too.

its also nuts to NOT have it in your house. You dont want to depend on third parties.. And there we arrived at a diabolical contradiction; not your hold, not your gold… but too much gold and you’re robbed at some point.. lol.
