...compared to say u.s. dollar bills which you can hold in your hand or stuff in your mattress.
this is why bitcoins will not go mainstream because majority of human beings on this planet do not have access to a computer.
successful gold standards are things like toyota trucks, ak-47's, u.s. c-notes which thrive in places like afghanistan and africa.
People are alive, right? year by year technology reaches the longest places, there will come a time where it will not be 60% of the world population that will not have a computer, these are things that will be improved over time, many countries are poor because of corruption and of colonization and wars ethnic. we can not be criticizing all the time.
Now it seems to me that your post was to say that gold is better than bitcoin, that is another subject that only creates discussion that is not healthy
That 60% of population that can not access computer will decline as time goes by.
It seems that OP is forgetting this, I remember that 20 years ago in my country probably nobody had a computer or if someone had not should be a number of 20 people and today everyone I know has a computer with internet access
