It's always fun to meet people that can't imagine a world without Internet.
Gold does not have a password and that is good, you can't forget it!
Gold is heavy at current price. When it appreciates x100 it will not be so heavy!
'Course that's not counting the equipment to measure and assay micrograms of gold for payments. That could be quite heavy, expensive, power hungry, ... ridiculous actually.
Crypto money is a hype. If some crisis event causes Internet fragmentation this hype is dead, dude. Face it!
Of course I would. Those things don't need to be carried to every transaction. right?
The best you could imagine with gold transactions in meatspace would be that every merchant had a way to assay and weigh the damn stuff. Bitcoin enables those things to be checked with software.
tl;dr: bitcoin is really light!
