Bitcoin obviously has a lot of different properties than gold, and is in many ways better than gold.
Or, at the very least, you could say it's similar to gold (in terms of value).
Perhaps someday, in the not so distant future, people will be happy to get a few mBTC to store their family's wealth.
I am new to this bitcoin world but what i heard about it and how fast its spreading its shadow on the world i really guess that it would capture the whole world. and the best part i like in it is a global currency one single trade all over the world and now further exchange.
