Finally, we have here the meeting of the physical gold and the new digital gold. And I think this should have been done a long time ago. I am sure that are also many cryptocurrency holders who are interested to add gold to their investment portfolio. The real gold remains to be the most stable way of storing value and I don't see both assets to be competing with each other as they can go complimenting instead.

Since the merchant doesn't receive fees for accepting BTC like they do in the case of credit cards, it makes sense that merchants accepting larger transactions would give a slight discount to those spending BTC.
JM Bullion also does this (3%, just like those paying via wire transfer or cheque).
I suppose precious metal dealers are still a group that will steadily continue to accept BTC - after all, they're selling high value goods and many of their customers like privacy.
