Yes, better bitcoin than gold, because if we have gold in our homes will be confusion, for fear of missing or fear of being stolen. And if we have bitcoin, people will not know, because bitcoin we store in account bitcoin itself. So if we need our money just exchange it in the currency of our own country that will enter the bank account. so it will minimize theft and crime.
You are right somehow cryptocurrency will be very easy to use and keep and we will only need to cash out some of our coins if we really need to use some physical cash to buy goods or products while gold is very hard to keep and we cannot exchange it for fiat so easily.
