Bitcoin is digital gold that can hit the financial world so many banks don't like it. Bitcoin does have a decentralized nature that cannot be controlled differently from gold which has a real physical and weight, but gold storage must be safe and requires real and feasible space. Bitcoin is sometimes less secure than hackers but has more security if we can store it well and wisely.
Bitcoin is too volatile to be compared with the gold. Gold prices are more stable. I think that if you do not want to risk, you must better invest in precious metals. However, the returns from the crypto may be better.
