You have no understanding of what bitcoin is, or how it works, and are just spouting random stuff you've heard from other uneducated people.

EDIT : Some additional arguments since it was initially a troll
Bad consequences of the software thing
I don't say it's a huge problem, i just say that for a reasonable person, that's one problem when you consider investing in something that has to be solid enough.

- The dev can change the software dramatically (like if some scientists could change gold composition, supply etc..)
- A software, if not perfect, is vulnerable to hack/exploit/misuse (could relate to fake gold)
- The developpement raises the question of centralism if there is one main dev, or face the issue of statu quo if the consensus cannot be reached (no such thing in gold)
- It can be replicated pretty easily. It faces competition from other coins or simply other blockchains if some forks are not accepted by everyone.
