And...?

Atoms aren't spendable units last time I checked.  What's the relevance of this comparison?  Surely it would make more sense to compare troy ounces instead of atoms.

^ Thank you for saying what I was thinking while reading this whole thing.

People really need to move off the whole gold vs bitcoin / gold or bitcoin argument and or discussion.  These are two completely different things that happen so share a few similar qualities.  Gold is a physical meta, that has uses that go far beyond a digital currency.  Bitcoin is a digital currency that have uses that go far beyond Gold.  The two are nice part of anyone's diversified portfolio and do not need to be compares to one another.  My take as an investment advisor is to own both assets. That is as long as you've built a healthy portfolio already.
