To be honest, I probably find it _more_ nerve-wracking than other people because I'm a software developer. Like, most people don't even know that the Bitcoin Network is something that constantly moves and changes.
Digital things degrade so rapidly and are constantly in flux and trending in different directions.
Thing is, gold is impossible to spend. When current fiat collapses, people aren't going to be able to transact in gold. It will only be silver or digital. I've self custodied bitcoin for eight years. No issues. And with Square bringing bitcoin payments online, using it is getting easier.
Yes, gold is very difficult to transact in, directly. You usually have to change it to something else, first.
Square is an American thing, like Venmo.
Everyone tells me that they've never had any problems with anything.
