I cannot understand why so many of the popular "goldbug's" still refuse to give bitcoin a look. It "is" digital gold, and the world is moving into the new blockchain economy, because the manipulation of the AU/AG metal is so obvious. When I bought my first silver round, I quickly realized that bitcoin was a superior way of storing value, because it is easier to store and move around, and I don't need a metallurgical degree to determine if what I am holding is real. Bitcoin and some of the other blockchain currencies are absolutely trust-less. You do not need a third party to confirm what you just got is real, nor security guards and Brinks to protect it for you.
