Paperless transactions are really nice. I also like bitcoins because of that, another is that I can monitor how much my money is which is better than checking your wallet or checking your bank account if it has money. In bitcoin, it's really easy to manage your finances also you don't have to worry about having to store it in a bank and paying for fees when you use it.
Those are features which make people to use bitcoin than the traditional banking or other virtual currencies. When its been compared with gold, the popularity that gold has got is really big as well it has a physical form which makes it a trusted investment. Now the potential of bitcoin is experienced by several gold users and started investing in terms of bitcoin. So probably can expect a big support for bitcoin soon, also price of bitcoin is quite good that it can be defragment into small portion and invested similar to gold.
Affirmative, gold is a tangible value that can be touched in addition to its apparent beauty maybe that's one of the main reasons why it's so expensive, the above together with that it has become very difficult to extract due to the high cost mainly, have placed it in a shelter of value par excellence, in the case of BTC it's intangible, resembles more to a class of service, and facilitates certain transactions enormously as well as uniting certain areas in the area of technology and finances, there is still no point of comparison between the two, since gold has long been a valuable instrument but the outlook could change more in the future, who knows.
