Nice you can't agree. I like to discuss. Actually, gold is as speculative as Bitcoin though it is regarded as safe heaven. Of course governments and very rich people (billionaires) are holding gold as hedge but real wealth comes from speculation and gold is involved here as nay other asset. Now to buy gold is not a very good idea as prices very likely will go down. It is not at bottom, so you must wait and wait again to sell in bubble. With Bitcoin we have much more potential as was shown by its trading history (only 8 years from zero to ~5000). In long term BTC has much more to offer than gold has if you are ordinary man.
