I love Gold as well as Bitcoins. I love to buy golds with bitcoin earnings. Though Their prices fluctuate, though they two have same values, they differ in few scenarios. Gold is a physical coin and Bitcoin is a digital currency. Gold at times are stolen outside. Compared to gold, bitcoin is more safe though it is sometimes hacked from few users.
I think something physical that can be stolen easily let alone something as valuable as gold, maybe you will be confusion in storing, different when storing bitcoin, yeah bitcoin more secure
