Some people says physical gold is more important, I should have physical instead of paper gold. But I dont understand why.

I trade easily in paper gold, spread is low so I lose less while trading. Banking system is powerful in my country, Turkey.

Physical gold can be stolen easily, I dont prefer having gold in my home, it is so dangerous imo, thieves are everywhere in my hood Smiley

What do you think?

edit: Guys I have read all your comments but still not satisfied. You all say that paper gold is not gold itself, just a promise; so having physical gold is more trusting even there is a possibility of theft.

Maybe I understand something different when saying paper gold.

Gold account at banks such as HSBC, BNP Paribas or ICBC is really less safer than keeping the gold at home?? And even if these accounts are guaranteed by the government up to $30k in each account?


The whole "paper gold" thing is what cause the current fiat monster debt scenario of insane inflation, as soon as we went out of the gold pattern then we were fucked in the ass by those damn bureaucrats and their tricks. The banksters got rich and we got nothing.

It's time to take control of the money back with bitcoin. Fiat had its time, its time to now to evolve.
