Fascinating take. Try taking $1m in gold bars through customs, then do the same with bitcoin, and tell me which is buggy. Plus gold has other problems - it's not so easy to sell half of a gold bar. Gold can be seized / garnished. Most gold on-/off-ramps require KYC. Gold is not finite etc. etc. Bitcoin is the hardest money ever invented and it's outperforming gold for that reason.

1. Well, if I am the theft I am not going to steal the gold bar. I am going to still the USB drive for all the reasons you just stated.
2. I think USA has around 250k BTC, which they didn’t buy. I think…I think they, what’s that word…seized. I think that BTC was seized.
3. Most all bitcoin exchanges are KYC today.
4. Gold can always be produced and BTC is fixed. That’s pretty obvious. 5. Most of your statements have nothing to do with portability.
6. All I was trying to communicate is things that are more portable is not always feature. He can be a bug.
I still cannot follow your logic. What are you going to do with the usb? Ever heard of passphrase, multisig or miniscript with timelock? Gold cannot do that..
USB was me shorthanding a hardware wallet. I am vaguely familiar with miniscript and timelock. I am aware that the security around bitcoin has far greater capability than gold. But there are many people that don’t implement those things well. They get lazy with their security practices which I believe leaves it more vulnerable.
Well, self-responsibility is key. I cannot help others only myself.
