What is really good about bitcoin after all is a very important and simple thing: NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
I create a wallet, put some funds into it and that's it. No questions asked.
Of course, when I will have to redeem thos funds I would have to be careful but for the moment I need a store of value and apart from an inevitable volatility BTC is the best.
I can't carry gold around.
BTC is hard to steal and people will not notice about our status in life because we have our money in the internet and anytime we can use and withdraw it whenever we feel we want to spend in something.
