I definitely agree it will in time have an effect on the precious metals market..

I have never seen a gold coin in person, thinking of maybe getting one gold maple leaf (canadian), but the premium is crazy (like 8% with shipping).
Is it heavy and shiny, lol? If I get one, it would be just for the sake of curiosity.

I tried to buy a silver coin on Amazon via Purse. It had a 20% premium so I asked for a 20% discount. Nobody bit.

A funny story how I got into Bitcoin. In 2013 I had some savings on my bank account and did not needed that money I did not wanna let it sit there so the bank can make money out of it while I get nothing. Went to the bank and asked if I can buy gold with that money. They told me they do not sell physical gold but can sell me gold on paper. I said fuck it what I wanna do with gold on paper, I wanna hold it in my hand. A month later I read about Bitcoin on an search engine optimization forum and went all in. Best decision I ever made. Yes, Bitcoin is not physical as well. But I did not like the idea of just buying a paper from the bank since I never liked banks.
