Gold is just a piece of metal, mostly like any other metal, but scarcer.
The scarcity and the shinyness gives it's value, which is lame.
Bitcoin has real high-tech network behind it, and a cutting edge technology for 21 century financing.
Gold is just a bronze age primitive metal.
It has the faith of an awful lot of people. That's all that counts. If everyone believed used sanitary towels had magical qualities they'd be hoarding them instead.
I think gold is crap. Enough people disagree to make my opinion irrelevant.
It's not crap, yet, although its on the path of extinction.
I bet nobody saw the charriot go out of trend in 1910, yet look in 2010 almost nobody uses it anymore.
Things change, and one day bitcoin will die too, but i hope it will live atleast 1000 years
