If you compare bitcoin to gold or fiat, the benefits of bitcoin are many, but I am like many others here.

May be it will be a surprise but if to compare bitcoin, gold and fiat you'll find out that there are different benefits which all three have: you just choose what you prefer most. The majority in the forum chooses bitcoin, we like to have control over our own money and digital nature of an asset. But some others prefer relying on a third party or to have a physical object to own and they can consciously choose another option.
I don't just mean bitcoin has benefits, fiat and gold are useless, I mean bitcoin is a multifunctional asset. I'm not a fiat hater like many others because no matter how bad it is the fact that we are still using it every day, and without it we would have a lot of trouble in life. Gold is not profitable with bitcoin, but its safe. I invest in bitcoin, but I am saving gold for my kid's future. All 3 have their own benefits and different use cases.
Which is why these 3 exists up to this day and will continue to exist because every people have different view about bitcoin and gold. Just like what you guys have said, some people are still choosing physical things like Gold because they can touch it, see it and of course, they are much more assured that's its much safer that other types of investment. And there's also these people who are choosing crypto over physical things because it's easy to use and easy to carry unlike gold.
