I do not know why they say gold is better than bitcoin, while bitcoin transactions are spreading in their midst.
My speculation, maybe they do not know bitcoin or do not know how to use bitcoin, when in fact they admit that bitcoin is better than gold.
In this age of rising technology, bitcoin will be a staple in the future. Everyone is doing everything online now. And it would be much better for everyone to invest and have their virtual coin ready for the future. Gold is still valuable but in terms of investing.. bitcoin is more profitable now.
