Yes and I think bitcoin is better then gold when it comes to an investment as bitcoin will surely take over the gold in long run and it will give us much better returns on our investments which may not be possible with gold.
Speculation is that bitcoin could over come the price of gold pretty soon because of the nature of bitcoin and it is limited in nature and with more user flocking into it ,the price is bound to increase with every investments and that wont be the case with gold,gold had its run a few years back when it had a good rally and people made the most out of that market and now it is the chance of bitcoin market to shine and remember gold is just a commodity where as bitcoin can be termed as a currency as well as a commodity.
In some cases, your answer I can disagree. The fact is that the most important argument in favor of gold is the smaller risk of losing your deposits. No one will argue with the fact that Bitcoin is always at risk. But only that Bitcoin is a virtual currency neither to touch, nor to see, it is air unlike gold.
