I think for now gold is better than bitcoin because gold has already established a track record and people know what is gold and that it can protect them or its like an insurance for them if they have money problems, they can always sell the gold in exchange for fiat and it has higher value than bitcoin. But when bitcoin will be of higher value than gold and it would be more popular then it would be better than gold because you can carry it wherever you want and no one knows that you have a lot of money since its anonymous.

the question is why would you not accept Bitcoin as your salary? It is the same ass taking cash in your local currency, it is just in another form. It would be like taking gold or silver instead of receiving USD for me.

Of course, I would love to receive my salary in BTC. Actually I am already receive some of my salary in BTC as I have an online work or job that pays BTC while in my day job I am paid in my countries currency automatically credited into my bank account during payday.

I guess that stealing Bitcoin is illegal because if they do not belong to you then it is still considered stealing even if people think that Bitcoin is illegal as well.
So yes stealing Bitcoin is still not legal but there is not much that can be done if it happens.

in our area still there is not a single department who have accepted bitcoin, therefore bitcoin need some more effort to become popular, but it is also a fact that the number of bitcoin users is increasing day by day.

I think holding the bitcoin for a long time is good although its depending on what you of course consider as a long time.
Most of the times a long time can be good its just a matter of time these days to make profit with the bitcoin.
